Zoe Loves Outside
Zoe loves going outside. We go for a few walks a day, and our walks take us around the yard and the public land and buildings that lie behind us and on our northeast side. (You can see the old red brick public utility building and the county history museum (housed in the white building) in the background.) She loves to pull leaves off the trees, feel the bark of the trees, and play with sticks. Rhonda and I also usually spend a couple hours in the backyard, whether doing work or relaxing, and Zoe sits at such times on a large blanket and plays with her toys and what she can gather up from the ground (grass, sticks, stems, pecan blossoms). She thought it was hilarious that we brought a little blanket and the camera on our most recent walk. The spot where she's sitting is one of her favorites, as it gives a good view of the traffic on Nance Street, and Zoe loves to watch the traffic.

Zoe's First Grass
Spring has been here for some time, and it has been gorgeous so far, but I only this weekend finally got around to getting Zoe near the grass. (First I had to mow it!) She loved it. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and we got out nice and early while the front yard was in lots of shade and the weather was refreshing cool. Zoe spent the time tearing up bits of grass (she managed to eat a small part of a very thin blade) and playing with sticks. The ground was still a bit wet from the morning dew, which is why she's on a towel. The light down here is especially nice: it's soft and cozy, giving things a pleasant glow. We turned in grades this past Friday, so now we can more fully sit back and enjoy it all.

Charleston and the Isle of Palms
We took Zoe to the beach for the first time. We first stopped for lunch in Charleston - we ate at a wonderful place called 39 Rue de Jean. Zoe had her own makeshift seat, where she kicked back while Rhonda and I ate brie and then mussells. I even got to enjoy some nice Pouilly-Fuisse. We then drove over to the Isle of Palms. The wind seemed to be bothering Zoe at first, but once Rhonda helped her to get her foot in the sand and the ocean water, she began to enjoy herself. She loves water - and, apparently, sand, too!

Zoe's First Easter Basket

Yesterday we set up Zoe's jumper seat. She very much enjoys it. However, she only enjoys it for about five minutes, and then she lets us know in no uncertain terms that she is done with jumper seat. Still, she played in it a few times yesterday, and today she spent nearly ten minutes it, spinning around and around. Given how tiny she is, I am very impressed. Of course, when it comes to Zoe, much impresses me.

A Summer Hat in Winter
Today was another gorgeous South Carolina winter day: sunny and 71. I've been trying to take advantage of these days as much as I can, and today was no exception. We got Zoe dressed up in her jeans and shoes and a summer hat and she and I strollered down to Main Street and back. She had hardly napped all day, but by the time we got back she was sound asleep with the hat pulled down over her eyes.
