Zoë is Walking!

Two days after her birthday, Zoë officially started zipping around as a true bipedal. Of course this just means that she can get into more trouble and even quicker than before. Here's a quick video demonstrating her new found skill.

Zoë's Kitchen

Howdy folks.

Sorry we've been so slack on updating the last couple of months. There have been deaths in the family, double pneumonia, massive allergy issues, the list just goes on and on.

Sadly, due to the overwhelming number of things going on at once, Zoë has not officially had her first birthday party, though we're looking to schedule it soon.

All that being said, we certainly didn't let her birthday go unnoticed. She got lots of new clothes and toys, including an awesome little kitchen playset from my mother.

It's kind of like a Transformer for little girls. It's both a kitchen a table. Zoë absolutely loves it and runs to it as soon as she gets home. (In fact, the day she first got it she caught sight of it from the front door and started squealing and clapping with joy.)

Of course having a little table means that we've started teaching her how to properly sit and eat her meals. She's doing quite well with it, though she still hasn't quite worked out the intricacies of spoon usage yet.

Zoë took her first steps just two days after her birthday. She's not walking full time yet, but the majority of her time now is spent traipsing back and forth across the apartment.

Hopefully we'll get back on schedule with updating. Until next time, here are some new photos of her.

Long Time, No See

Howdy folks.

Yeah, yeah, I know there's been a bit of a gap since the last update. Life has been its typical crazy and hectic self.

As Zoë's first birthday rolled around we found ourselves in a home of sickness. Zoë has an ear infection and a respiratory infection. Mom has double pneumonia. Dad has severe allergy issues and an ear infection.

Unfortunately, due to all of this we have had to delay Zoë's official birthday celebration for another week or two.

But, Monday, 3/29 was Zoë's birthday. And on 3/31 she walked for the first time.

We will have video of her walking coming up very shortly. (The camera was out of juice last night.)

Zoë is also babbling like mad right now and has figured out a few words. Her favorites are kitty, dog, uh-oh, mama, dada, yeah, no, and thank you.

In the meantime, here are some shots we had taken for her first birthday.
