Sleepover

The babysitter said they fought for 30 minutes about how to arrange
the pillows, but by the time we got back from dinner they looked like
this. Very peaceful.

Chaos at Central Market

031409_VisitwCaroLitKevBlog.jpg
A couple of weeks ago we headed to Texas. While visiting
Kevin, Rowena, Caroline, and Litty in Austin we hit the playground
at Central Market. The best grocery store in the world paired
with a cool playground made me tear up that I'd moved away
from Texas. (It doesn't happen often, but Central Market makes
me all misty-eyed.) Anyway, I was trying to get them to pose
after we announced it was time to go. Big mistake. They revolted
rather than cooperating.

She still really loves stethoscopes and phones are quickly
gaining popularity.

Spoon Success

022809_UsingSpoonBlog.jpg
Zoe has never let me put food in her mouth. She wouldn't
eat baby food from a spoon, and she won't eat from my
fingers. You have to put the food in her fingers first. So
I didn't think she'd be very good with a spoon since she's
had no exposure. She did just fine.

Working Toward Mastery

This was a few weeks before she made it all the way
in by herself. She is one determined little person.

17 Months Old

I'm getting a little lazy -- no panda and she's in the
same outfit as last month. Sorry. But she did climb
into her highchair and into this kitchen chair all by
herself to celebrate.

Key Key

022309_KeyKeyKittyBlog.jpg
Zoe isn't much of a talker yet, but I think I owe her an
apology. Peter and my mom claim that she's been saying
kitty for several weeks, and I just didn't realize it. So I'm
officially declaring that her first word was kitty, and that
she said it on 2/11 (and probably even earlier). It sounds
more like Key-Key. She uses it to refer to elephants and
shadows, but mostly she uses it for her beloved Key-Key.

That's a lot of super-cute pictures if I may say so myself.

Her performances are fantastic and hysterical!

Goldfish Smile

Goldfish crackers make Zoe very happy. You can see the evidence
in her smile and on her chin.

Coordinated Crabby

Leah wants her clothes to coordinate with Zoe's, but neither
wants to cooperate for a picture. So here is what our cute
angels look like a good portion of the time.
