Zurich Zoo

Andy is out of town this weekend in Davos for his last ski weekend of the year (sponsored by KPMG). So my friend Alison and I headed up to the Zurich Zoo today - which I'd somehow not visited in my nearly 3 years in Zurich. Hadley slept through most of the cool animals...

There were penguins...

And big turtles in a really cool indoor rainforest...

And of course there were elephants...

And Bison...

And last but not least some pretty flamingos that were pink just like Hadley!

7 Week Stats

Hadley now weighs 4200g or 9 lbs. 4 oz and is 55cm or 22in long! At this rate, she is on target to double her birthweight by 12 weeks - according to my babycenter.com updates most babies don't do that until 16 weeks...Big girl!

The Mullet (pronounced moo-lay)

Business up front...




Party in the back :)



According to my mom, I had this same 'do' as a baby - so there is still hope for her!

Say Cheese

I now understand why this is a moment that many parents wait and wait for - the day when your kid finally smiles back! She's been "smiling" for a few weeks - but this past week or so has been the first time she was obviously smiling at us doing something goofy (e.g. all the funny noises and dorky chatting I'm doing in the video - just ignore me, I guess one will do anything to make their baby smile!)

And yes, she's back in the rainforest - apparently, it never gets old.

Oh and a little shout out - thank you Grandma Allison for the adorable "Hadley" onesie!

The Playgroup

I've been meaning to post a photo of our mommy play group for a while now. This was taken when Hadley was 2 weeks old...she slept through the whole thing. It's going to be so much fun when she can stay awake and play with all the girls! We do have one boy in the group, Kacey's little boy Townes who didn't make it that day. Poor little man always with the ladies!
