Update--long over due

Seems we have been just monstrous at keeping up with Zoë's site. Not by intention, I assure you. Things are just hectic; Zoë runs all over the place now yammering all the time, begging for help to get on the couch then climbing off in three seconds. She's up to over 20 words now, learning a new one quite frequently. When she learns a new word, she forgets about 19 for a few weeks,but hey, it is progress :)

We have 4 new teeth as of today...I think they are molars. She tried to show them off to me, then proceeded to try and bite me.


We've implemented the naughty stool, and use it. Needless to say, while not perfect, she understands what that stool means and she knows she doesn't want us to resort to it. She is terrified to get off of it when in trouble. That is amusing...I mean, all we would do if she got off is put her back on it. :)

She'll be 15 months the end of this month. We are close to starting her on being potty trained. She'll clutch at herself moments before she goes so she understands something is happening. That ought to be fun. We have also been discussing moving her to a toddler bed soon. She has expressed interest in a big girl bed, so I don't think that we'd have issues, but who knows.

At the end of this month, we may run into a problem...I have to have surgery and that means I can't hold her. So, things may be rocky.

She doesn't like change....as you will see. This was an amusing night. :)We steam cleaned the carpet and well, she flipped. :)

Any ways, I call adieu for tonight. Days are long, evenings short, nights brief.
