What We've Been Up To

I haven't had a lot of time to post lately, but here is a quick update and lots of pictures of what Zoe has been up to. I started working from home for the same company as Katrina in November and that was a very busy month. It has slowed down this month, but with Christmas shopping and decorating I haven't minded too much.
Zoe went to see a GI specialist in November and he thinks she just needs more time to outgrow the reflux and dairy/soy protein allergy. I have decided to continue nursing instead of going the formula route (the only option since she can't have milk), so I am back on the no dairy/soy diet too. The upside is that I won't have to worry about any extra holiday pounds!
Zoe's cast has come off and she uses her arm as if nothing happened. It has been a lot of fun watching all the new things she is learning. She has started climbing (not so fun) and loves to "help" cook. I give her a bowl and a spoon and occasionally add snacks and she stirs them up.
Paul has been working 60 hour weeks lately and starting tomorrow he is off through most of the holidays. I think he has to work one or two days until after New Year, so I am rejoicing that we will have some family time! Hope all of you have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Love Zoe's slippers! She keeps them on? Incredible! I also love how well Ben (It is Ben, right?!) does with her. What a good dog!

Zoe loves those slippers. They have rattles in them and I think that is why she likes them so well. We ask her where her monkeys are and she holds up her feet. I bought her new ones since these are getting worn out and she won't wear them.
Ben is so good with Zoe! The poor dog gets pinched and pulled sometimes, but she has finally learned to pet him gently and he loves her! When she was first born he was on his way outside when he heard her cry. He refused to go out!

It was great to read your update! I am glad Paul gets some time off after working so many hours! Merry Christmas!
