New Things!

Yes, yes, it's been awhile since the last post other than the video. Thanks to Noah for getting those videos out. I've been trying to juggle going back to work, and it's been trickier to find time to keep up with the blog than I thought!

Zoe's been up to all good things. She is VERY close to sitting up on her own. She lasts a couple of minutes and then looks up and falls back. Today, at day care, she was able to sit for a reported 10 minutes with nothing but Miss Laura just holding onto the back of her sundress to keep her from face planting into the plastic piano and guitar she was banging on.

Z continues to talk to us all the time, sharing her singing and new-found voice with anyone who will listen. She thinks the funny noises we share are the best, and laughs...not a big squeally laugh, but a "ha ha ha" type.

Z has NO interest in crawling, hasn't even pushed up on all fours, and that's okay with us! However, she IS starting to scoot just a little bit forward. Usually, though, she ends up pushing herself backwards and gets upset when she can't reach the toy she wants.

As you've been able to see in the video, she likes to chew on and play with a plastic water bottle. She also likes to chew on wet paper towels, but tolerates it when we trade it out for a face cloth instead.

Z is starting to get very upset when you take something away from her when she wants to play with it. She's starting to voice her very strong opinions! I think we might be in trouble with that!

What else has she been up to? She loves laying on her changing table and dances "like Stevie Wonder" (is that P.C. to say? Probably not, but it works, and everyone knows what I'm talking about). She LOVES to play with her friend in the mirror, and LOVES to try to walk with us, dance, and play with this toy pig she has. You push on its snout, and it vibrates and sings a song. Z just cracks up!

Z's been visiting with her cousin Jacob (who's as big as she is, already!) and with her Auntie and Uncle J, Grandma and Grandpa C, and spending lots of fun time with Mommy and Daddy when she can stay awake from a full day at daycare!
