The Grandma Update

Not sure anyone else is interested in reading about Zoe's developmental milestones, but here they are:

The girl is mobile. She's been working on crawling for a while, and this past week she slept like utter crap, waking up frequently. When I'd go into her room, I'd find her on her tummy and pissed about it. I think she was "practicing" in her sleep. For the past couple of days, she's started really scooting across the room. Sometimes she's on her knees; other times she's doing the army arm-crawl.

She's also become very interested in faces. We were in bed together for a nap, and she very gently "petted" my eyebrows, then my eyelashes, sort of trying to figure out what they were. She's also interested in eyes, ears, noses, lips, glasses. Most of the time she's very gentle; occasionally, you wind up with a noseful of baby fingers.

She continues to develop a sense of humor, laughing at jokes and funny noises.

She knows her name and the dog's. When we call Walker, she turns to look at him.

She is still babbling "mama" and what sounds like "mom," but I'm not sure she associates that with me yet. "Baba" is also a favorite.

She looooooves vegetables, more than fruit, and cheerios and veggie puffs. So far meat kind of seems to freak her out (maybe it's the texture?) unless we're having Mexican and then she chows down on the chicken or whatever. She love to eat, like both of her parents.

She almost always giggles after she sneezes. Sneezes are fun, apparently.

She's very ticklish.

She doesn't like bibs and often tears off her socks.

She sometimes laughs in her sleep, which makes me wonder what she's dreaming. Whatever it is, it's cracking her up.

Update: Over the weekend, she started pulling herself up to a stand on the furniture.

Also, I forgot to say that she still constantly has her feet crossed. This makes crawling difficult at times.
