Zoe turned 11 months old!
We decided to take the 11 month picture with Zoe in her
natural habitat: surrounded by books.
Zoe loves to read all day long and has even memorized what's in her books.
She made a low, growling noise (her "Lion" noise) and crawled over to
a bookcase, grabbed the book with the lion picture inside and flipped to the page.
She pointed at the lion, and gave me a happy grin and another fierce roar.

| Tired of the normal selection, Zoe is reaching ever-higher in her quest for a good read |
She's now standing all the time.
Here she is playing with her puppy dog.
...and exploring the pantry.
Zoe still loves going for her walk.
Mommy found this lizard buddy enjoying some sunshine on our wall.
Zoe still loves to stop at this Lantana bush to smell the flowers.
And she's now good friends with this (previously) wild mustang.
See the tattoo near her mane?

| Look at Zoe's smile! |
Mommy showed Zoe how to pet the horse.
And then it was Zoe's turn!
When we got home, Zoe was reminded of her fun day
by looking at the horses on her pajama pants!
...and speaking of horsing around...
Zoe and Daddy love goofing off together.
Here is a selfie Zoe took.
...and here's another.
Zoe loves sharing so much she painted Daddy's face with her dinner!

| Zoe is an ARTIST! |
Here she is painting her toes.
All that painting makes a girl tired.
Zoe grabbed Mommy's water bottle for a some refreshing "wa-wa-wa-wa."
(Zoe's started asking for it by that name which is very exciting)

Zoe gave Mommy the nicest kisses to say thank you.
Then it was back to playing around with Daddy.
I'm holding both her arms so my glasses stay on my face.
Because the minute she gets a chance to steal them...
Off they come.
And there's so much to smile about!
Even Mommy loves to smile (but we already knew that!)
And then it's time for HUGS!
Zoe's newest trick is climbing the stairs.
Mommy is always right behind as a spotter...
But Zoe's quite proficient at it.
Here's a video of her reaching the top floor!
Zoe was excited to celebrate her 11 months.
Okay, Zoe -- smile for Daddy.
Yeah, good -- but show me the sticker. Show me...

| How's my hair? (she knows that word, too) |
Your hair is cute, just show me the...
Now you're just being silly.
Correction: NOW you're being silly.
I'll end this week's post with my favorite picture.
Mommy snapped this one of Zoe snuggling with our favorite
stuffed friends from so long ago...
Have a beautiful week.
Lots of new adventures and beautiful smiles! I look forward to seeing more and more about Zoe and all her fun times. It makes me smile looking at her smile :) Thanks so much for the fun narrative and great pictures. I look forward to them every week! Lots of love to Zoe, and you and Lori <3
ReplyDeleteOnce again, a perfect collection of a perfect little sweetie :) She is growing up so fast, hard to believe that she is 11 months old already. The smiles, the books she enjoys so much, her adventures on her walks, and even invading the pantry all make me so happy to see. Mommy and Daddy seem to be having a good time too and how could you not have a good time with Zoe to spend the day with !!
ReplyDeleteHeard from Grammie that there was a new post. I had been checking often to see. I, too, love every picture, comment and cute pose. Y'all have quite the life with horses, books and adventure.
ReplyDeleteI know there is a new one coming up with Grammie coming out for a visit.
