Happy Mother's Day!
A bittersweet post this week as Zoe lost her Great Grandmother.
We hope Zoe inherited Great Grandmom's green thumb and her love of animals.
This week's post is written in her memory
Lots of updates this week.
Zoe has learned how to sit up on her own --
in the crib, on the changing table, and on the floor.

| The world looks so much better right-side up! |
And today she surprised us by STANDING in the crib after her morning nap.
There's no stopping her now.
(Yes, she was crying. Standing is scary, y'all)

Zoe also crawls like a champ.
She scoots around the floor at will,
so it appears we got the house Zoe-proofed just in time.

Zoe's favorite time of the day is when she gets to go for a walk with Mommy.
Look how happy she is to be outside!
Zoe's list of nouns is ever-growning. She knows what a walk is, what horses are,
and now, thanks to our friends, John and JJ, what PUPPIES ARE!

| Dad! PUPPIES!!! |

| PUPPIES!!! PUPPIES!!! PUPPIES!!!! |

| Zoe isn't smiling because she felt bad not wearing a hat. |
 |
| ...so she got a hat. |
Zoe can now play on the floor. Supervised, of course.
But if you take your eyes off her too long she starts looking for trouble.
 |
| Hmm...dead end. |
Zoe is now a a carnivore. Here she is eating...well, she's eating the bowl.
But INSIDE the bowl is turkey, potatoes, and carrots.
 |
| Nom nom nom. |
But her favorite thing to eat are books.
Specifically Candide.
Not sure why she loves Voltaire so much.
I guess his characters are just delicious.
 |
| Maybe she's just a huge fan of satire. |
Anyway, now that Zoe is moving around (and about to stand) we decided to buy a rug.
This one came with a baby!!!
Beautiful pictures and wonderful comments in memory of Great Grandmom :) It is already apparent that Zoe has her love of animals. All of the pictures show so much of Zoe's personality and definitely show how much she has grown and all of the new things she is learning to do. Once again, thanks so much for doing this blog for us to be able to keep up to date on how adorable out little granddaughter is.
ReplyDeleteAnd great niece, too. I have been checking back for new updates and was thrilled tonight with this one. Love the rug and the baby. I looks very blush. Sorry to hear about Great Grandmom and know she will pass on the best to Zoe.
ReplyDeleteDave the love that is so evident with her is awesome. I love the comments and captions and all the smiles are wonderful. She makes any day better. I hope I can keep up with her the next time I'm out to visit (still figuring out when I might be able to make that happen, lol). In the meantime, thank you for updating us via the blog with all the wonderful pictures. She makes me and my heart smile :)
