So, yesterday was Zoe's birthday; her age finally can be referred to in integer numbers of years. So, guess what she got for her birthday? Well, she got a Little Tykes piano, a vinyl baby photo album to put pictures of Mommy and Daddy in, a little trumpet, a book, a puzzle, lots of clothes, and a Barney singing bus thing (Thanks Uncle Jarrod).

And a virus. That's right, my girl got a virus on her birthday. A "rotavirus" apparently, which has symptoms that include, and I quote, "explosive diarrhea."

Man, I hope we aren't starting a birthday tradition here.
