Skills Check!

At this point, Z is doing SOO many things!
  • "Soooo big!" (or as Uncle Jeff taught her, "Soooo much!")
  • waves to EVERYONE
  • seems to understand hi and bye
  • stands assisted and unassisted
  • walks with assistance
  • says mamama and we THINK she knows what that means
  • says "UP", dadadadada, gug gug gug, blah blah blah, ah ah ah, ha!, and various screeches
  • will give you things when you ask for them
  • will try to feed you
  • self feeds just about everything but her oatmeal and applesauce....she does NOT like it when we try to feed her things anymore!
  • "mean face"
  • dances to anything, even the songs in her head! :) She bobs her head, sways side to side, taps her foot, bounces her body up and down, and shakes her head "no"
  • She calls the cat "teetee" or "keekee" depending on her mood
  • cat food is a delicacy
  • the toilet is fascinating, as is the toilet paper
  • she plays peekaboo allllll the time. Dresses are especially fun for that!
  • Zoe bangs on ANYthing.
  • She has figured out that buttons on toys mean they make music and sound.
  • She laughs soo much!
  • She's starting to get ticklish on her neck and under her arms.
  • She definitely understands "No!" but doesn't always listen!
  • She is SO fast crawling it's crazy!
  • New rule in our house--the gate is ALWAYS up and the bathroom door is ALWAYS closed when Z is awake.
  • She's becoming such a big girl she can sometimes make it with one long nap rather than 2 all the time (I love 2 naps though :) and only reserve this for days like today when it's impossible to get the second on in!)
  • Zoe "talks" in her sleep
  • Zoe, more often than not lately, has been going to bed smiling and giggling, and not fussing at bedtime!
