Zoe Estelle Schiappacasse

Half a year already -- Zoe has learned to sit on her own and still "talks" up a storm. She's also ready with a smile for everyone, giggles when tickled and has already taken 8 flights and
attended 3 weddings...! Weight at 6 mo appointment: 7.9 kilos (approx. 17 lbs)

Zoe sitting on her new rug and (below) hamming it up with Alicia -- Gerry & Laura's gorgeous daughter (age 11 months). Zoe makes a visit to mom's favorite restaurant, Cul de Sac, while Erik Korpiel was visiting from Japan.
Below, Dan and Zoe out to brunch with friends from baby yoga class, Gina and her beautiful little boy, Declan. Gina is originally from Watsonville, CA -- such a small world!

Zoe loved cuddling with Auntie Barbara! Here they are getting ready for Halloween trick-or-treaters at Grandma Marcy's house (over 175 kids came to the door that night!)

Even though it's been a while since Aunt Diane held a little baby, the memories came right back and she was a natural expert once again -- a perfect comfy perch for baby Z...

Another expert mommy cradles Zoe like a pro -- with cousin Patsy it was love at first sight!
