Miss Mini's Milestones

Sooo...it's been awhile, I know.

As you saw in the video, she's a walking machine. This weekend, she spent more of it on 2 feet than she has in past days. Noah and I couldn't stop talking about how quickly she's learning that walking on 2 feet is more fun than on her hands and knees! She's SO brave and shows NO fear. She walks with her bottle in her mouth (clenched with those teeth of hers) or a sippy cup, waving a toy or piece of clothing around, waving her arms to us, it doesn't matter. She's on the MOVE!!

Another thing Zoe's found fun is to push the kitchen chairs around. The problem is, she gets stuck after a short time....so we pulled out the walk behind toy she has, and she LOOOOVES to move with it. I was afraid that she'd push it too fast and face plant (it is NOT slow) but she is SOOO fast. She came zipping in from the kitchen to me in the living room in about 2 seconds flat! Trying the other way is a little more difficult though....going from the living room to the kitchen there's a small lip going UP that she hasn't figured out how to get over yet with the walker. Whoops!!

What else is our little monkey up to? Oh, she LOVES to look at things and point to them. We've been trying to label everything we think she's pointing to. :) It's easier when we open a book and she wants us to read. She's able to sit more and more to listen to a story, and really enjoys looking at the pictures. Most of the time, I'd say, we sit there and just describe the pictures!!

Favorite toys lately? Her Laugh and Learn Home (more specifically the radio on it that she likes to play and dance to) and her Laugh and Learn Stage. She just sits there and "plays" the band and dances away. I'll have to try to get video of her playing it. She'll shake her head and say "yeah"...just like a rock star!

This week's events include the drs visit from the previous post and getting ready for Zoe's first birthday! We can't wait! She will also have a small birthday party with her friends at day care. I'm going to make a special treat for the kids and Miss Laura. It should be a lot of fun for her! Oh, and I nearly forgot! Daddy gets to spend the day with Z on Friday because daycare is closed! I'm sure they'll be up to no good!
