Big Dreams of Zoya Pavlovna Timme


Holy Moly. She is already 7 weeks. Time with baby Zoya is flying. We just realized we promised to post pictures of Pavel and I as infants to compare to baby Zoya and we never did it. Seems like the majority of people who responded believed that Zoya looks like her Papa.

Pavel at 6 months old:

Baby Zoya, AKA: Zoya Pavlovna, Baby Baby, Baby Cakes, Zoyaaaaaaaa, has quite the personality. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to ask for it.

She is a conversationalist. Zoya can easily go on for a half hour or more telling you what she thinks. Her favorite venue for conversing is the changing table - preferably bare bottomed. Ah, the liberation of diaper freedom.

Zoya is an art critic, she studies the paintings endlessly occasionally offering a witty (we're assuming) quip about the composition or use of color.

She is a zen master in the art of baby yoga which she religiously practices upon waking.

By our measurements Baby Zoya now measures 22 inches and 11 pounds. Grow, baby, grow!

Here are some pictures of the love of our lives for your viewing pleasure.

Drunk baby Zoya passes out on the tap.

Listening to mommy's crazy singing.

Chillin' out in her new sunglasses, wondering what mommy and papa find so funny.

If this were a video, you'd see Zoya thrashing her head back and forth, mouth open saying "Ah, ah, ah, ah." For those of you behind on baby lingo, this means "Feed me now before I scream!"


Our first successful afternoon in the sling. The peaceful child you see above was not so peaceful once she awoke and realized there was no room for baby yoga in this thing.

Afternoon happy hour.

Watching the beautiful sunset.

"Papa, are you for real?"

How could we not love a face like that?

Proud mommy.

Proud Papa.

Proud Grandma

Proud Auntie K
