First of all, Zoe is sick again. 2 months in day care and so far 3 illnesses. This time seems like a bad cold. Fever, sore throat, coughing, general crankiness, lots of sleeping, lots of snot, and ballistic poo. The other day it went all the way up her back into her hair. Yesterday, it ended up on my rug, my hands and my forehead before I realized what had happened. Last night in bed (Zoe is still sleeping with us) I caught it before any damage was done, but if you ever hear gurgling coming from you baby's diaper, I suggest acting quickly.
As far as advancement... Still no walking or talking, but she pulls up on everything and can get anywhere she wants. She has figured out how to get back down from "pulled up" without just falling. She has discovered that she can spit food back out. (Fun!) And we have some serious big back teeth coming in, which probably isn't helping her feel any better. She laughs out loud at the "oops-I-dropped-it" game, and I happily oblige because it teaches cause and effect, and more importantly, it makes her happy. I could do it all day. Oh, she is also getting really good at feeding herself. She's tired of being fed, I think, and does much better with food she can pick up herself. This means much more to clean up, but the dog seems to like it. And she finally waves Bye-bye!! Yeah! It's the cute little finger crinkle, but we all know what it means.
I'll try to post more often, but life is awfully busy around here. After work, I want to do nothing but love on Zoe. I almost hope she wants a late afternoon nap, because she will do that in my arms. When she gets fussy, all I need is a warm bottle and up she crawls. It's wonderful sweetness at its best.
Here are some pictures...
Zoe watching "The Mandarin Wiggles"
Beautiful even with the runny nose
Not happy about Mommy messing with her hair
It looks like she's praying, but I think she's doing something else that begins with "p"
Happy Girl
