Birthday at Little Farm







The Birthday twins, Zoe & Andre (Born one hour apart, on the same operating table) celebrated the big day together with friend Elizabeth at Little Farm- a real working animal farm in Berkeley's Tilden Park. The wildflowers were blooming, the sun shining, the cows were mooing and the kids all had a great time. What a wonderful way to celebrate being two!

Party Girl



Zoe awaits her birthday cake on the back steps during a small family party. Finally, a day hot enough to run around in a pretty sundress and learn about water balloons.

Getting to know you



Zoe is showing more interest in her little brother every day. She doesn't seem too bothered by any crying- in fact she runs off to bring him a binky, or his stuffed tiger, or offers him a sniff of her own soothing Mr. Bear. She watches his diaper changes with interest, pointing to his "poo-poom" (she actually points to his umbilical cord stub- that must be confusing).
She's taken a keener interest in swaddling her dolls or stuffed animals, and driving them around the house in her mini stroller. She also makes sure that every one is well burped.
As for actually touching her brother, she's not quite sure she's ready yet. But in a rare moment, she thought she would allow him to sit in her lap. When he was removed, she yelled, "more! more!"
