HAPPY 10 MONTHS, ZOE!
 |
| Zoe likes what's behind door #2 (which is mostly rice and frozen pizza...and a monkey). |
Another week of smiles and new discoveries.
Zoe has learned all sorts of new tricks.
She loves pulling all the toys out of a container, all the clothes out of a hamper,
and all the books off of shelves.
She does so with a laser focus that she could only have inherited from her mother.
She is perfecting the art of "Cute Manipulation" and leans her head to the side
and bats her long eyelashes at us. We coo and laugh and are probably ruining any chance
of raising a daughter who will listen when we finally say, "no."
Zoe also learned how to answer the question: "HOW BIG IS ZOE?"
Her go-to answer is to raise her hands up over her head.
 |
| Soooooo big! |
Finally, Mommy uploaded this video of Zoe's newest trick. We call it blabblabblabblabblah.
Zoe's daily tour of neighborhood friends almost always includes Oni -- this beautiful
Husky who (at one point) was smaller than Zoe.
Not anymore.
 |
| Zoe and Oni are old friends. |
And speaking of puppies, Kari and Dan came over with two special friends...
Ripley and Edi!
We took a long walk together and then went for ice cream.
Zoe thought it would be fun to help hold up the umbrella in case there was wind.
Then everyone came back to our place to play on the floor together.
 |
| Zoe thought that was just fine. |
Daddy is always trying to come up with new ways to distract Zoe from
tearing the house apart. Here he made a baby burrito.
 |
| Smiles come free with every order! |
Hey, Zoe...guess what?
Our friends YJ and Patrick are coming over and they are bringing Anna with them!
Zoe had met Anna when they were newborns but it's been a few months
so we decided to have a little reunion.
At this point, Zoe is still unsure.
It took a little while for them to get used to each other.
 |
| Seriously, Dad. Whatever I did...I'm sorry, okay? |
 |
| Anna testing out her lungs. |
Zoe learned a hard lesson that day -- she's not the only child in existence.
 |
| Some tears were shed. |
Eventually they got used to each other.
 |
| Everyone keeps talking to Anna... |
 |
| I'm just going to hang out over here... |
 |
| Wait -- Dad's got the camera. Gotta be cute... |
 |
| A pic for all of you who bet on "Ballerina" |
Babies down...
Babies UP
Yay!!!
Eventually they divided up the toys between them.

 |
| Okay, you get the animals, I'll take this... |
And now they're best friends!
That's it for this week.
If you're looking for Zoe, she'll be raiding the freezer.
Oh My ... ten months old already !! And as cute as can be. She really is getting into everything and smiling all the way. Thank you once again for the great post of her daily activities so we can all enjoy what she is doing even though we can't be there :) Grammie loves you and can't wait to give you hugs and kisses.
ReplyDeleteThat's my girl... just as I predicted, she is growing up so fast! Great pictures and commentary... not that I'm biased at all. Where is the ice cream place? Next time I'm out you'll need to point me in that direction so I can take my sweetie out for ice cream... hmmm most likely chocolate when she's wearing something nice and pretty (learned that from one of my uncles who whenever he came to visit would take us out for ice cream and let us truly 'dive into' it). I'd have to say my favorite picture is 'Cute Manipulation'... she can do that to Grandad whenever she wants cause Grandad will just melt.
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks precious on her. Every time she empties something just remember it gives y'all a chance to rearrange it all again. Can she really open the freezer door? That could spell trouble. Love the post, as usual!!!!!
ReplyDeleteShe is just a beautiful baby girl!!!!
