Week Twenty-Three

The colder nights and shorter days have been messing with Zeeke's sleep schedule a little, so it was a tough week at times.  It's a good thing he's so darned cute.  Zeeke's getting better and better at entertaining himself, even while driving in the car.  It's great to see him concentrating intently on his toys even if he's just trying to figure out how he can get it into his mouth.  We figured out a few new ways to make him laugh this week.  He gets jaded fast if we try something too many times, but it's so much fun to hear him giggle that we can't help ourselves.  Oh, and Zeeke has started pushing his arms through sleeves himself when we're dressing him, which is very nice.  (Legs and pants are a very different story.)  

Monday, Karen & Zeeke joined up with Dena & her mom to go visit Jen & the twins in Chestnut Hill.

Tuesday, Karen & Zeeke went to Miss Karen's storytime at PCI.  And in the afternoon, Steve's parents came by for a visit.  While Zeeke and the ladies went for a stroll.  Steve and his dad fixed Zeeke's door which had pulled itself out of the wall.  Thanks, Dad!

Wednesday, Karen & Zeeke went to Miss Liz's storytime at Fumo.  

Thursday, Karen & Zeeke bumped into Dena & her mom while hanging out at the fountain on Passyunk.  Then the two of them went out to West Philly to take Steve out for lunch.  Zeeke had a great time with the Annals staff and then the three of us grabbed a delicious lunch from the Cucina Zapata truck.

Saturday, Steve & Zeeke got some quality time (playing, walking, grocery shopping and napping) while Karen went on a house tour with Sally, Dena and her mom.  

On Sunday, we joined Katie, Dave & Greta for a trip to Linvilla Orchards.  We went on a hayride, picked pumpkins, and ate apple cider doughnuts.  We brought home a bag of apples, a big jug of cider, and a caramel walnut apple pie that was amazing.  When we got back, we visted David & Steve, and then later Marci dropped by.
