New Tricks!

Z is a crawling machine! She is everywhere...she just does NOT sit still. It's amazing the energy that kid has. She's crawling, scooting, rolling, sit up, lay down, slide over, pick up a toy and wave it around, tell us something, scream something at us, and do it all over again.

Today, she managed to crawl THROUGH her exersaucer.

She also has spent a good chunk of the day "clicking" her tongue. She loves it when you repeat it.

She also has a "mean face". She will scrunch up her face like she's all mad at you and then breath really fast in and out through her teeth. Again, repeat it, and she is all smiles. She loves it! :) She's not mad; it's just a new trick!

Z also is playing so hard she'll 'pant'. I don't think she's really out of breath, but it's cute to see her work so hard.

She's getting faster, and has gotten close to getting that FUN new toy, the cat's tail!! Peanut has NOT been amused. Z is also focused completely on trying to catch Peanut. So far, Peanut is still faster. :)

Zoe is starting to push onto just her knees to try to play...that's a problem because she's not too sturdy like that yet! I have seen her push onto her feet, but she usually collapses right away. Hands stay on the ground the entire time.

We've discovered a couple of favorite commercials of Z's...The Friendly's commercial with the soccer mom singing with the soccer team in the back. Whatever she's doing, she STOPS and just watches it. Then, when it's over? Back to playing. That one and a Ford truck commercial. Both have a lot of singing and music in them...what a freak we have for a daughter!

Oh, and Z has this dancing pig. You press its snout and it vibrates and plays some music. She starts to dance to it. We'll try to get it on video. This has been able to get Z to smile when she doesn't feel like it (I know, amazing, but she DOES have times when that's true!!).
