what a great weekend!

We ran errands. Visited with family. Planted a garden. Relaxed. And of course, played with Zoe. It was awesome! The only bummer is that Jeff has to go to work tonight, but other than that. Every weekend should be this great.

Forever Family Day

Yesterday was our Forever Family Day, and here is a little clip of the moment that changed my life.

My Gorgeous Girl in the Sunshine

We've been enjoying the wonderful weather lately. Zoe loves being outside!!







Zoe Points!!

Zoe has actually "pointed" for some time. She points at nearly every picture in a book and says, "deesh" We hear that word all the time. Deesh. Deesh. Deesh. I think at her school, they must point at pictures in books and say, "THIS is a ...." This = Deesh.

But today was the first time Jeff said, "Zoe, where's your milk?" and she pointed at her milk!

He said, "Zoe, where's the dog?? and she pointed at the dog.

Then she said, "Zoe, where's mama?? ... and she pointed at the dog again. Oh well!

She's getting it and thats what is important. Zoe's biggest delay has been speech, so I am beyond thrilled when she shows us she at least understands what we are saying.

A few other words we might be hearing are:

Uh-buh = up
dah = dog
Ah-dah = Da da

We meet with the Audiologist and ENT next week to evaluate her hearing again and make sure the tubes are fine.
