The last couple of weeks have been a blur, so I haven't mentioned that Zoe seems to be walking. Or toddling, at least. She started by taking one or two steps on her own and now can take up to about 10. She's very dainty, walking on her toes with her arms held out as though she were walking a tightrope. She gets very happy when she takes several steps without falling. Sometimes she claps for herself.
She says what sounds like "mom" and "da" or "a-da." She loves music and will rock or wiggle to the beat. If she particularly likes a song, she'll squeal. Her teachers think she needs to get into a dance class as soon as she's old enough.
In parent news, we had a yard sale last weekend and cleared out the garage. This weekend we plan on doing a lot of yard work. Since Zoe was born I haven't kept up enough with all of my flower beds. Things are getting out of control. I want to catch up because so many things are blooming in the yard and I'd hate for the pretty flowers to get overshadowed by the weeds.
Also, in a puzzling turn of events, I've been having a hard time eating meat lately. I'm normally an eager carnivore, but I seem to have lost my taste for pork and this past weekend I couldn't eat a burger. I haven't had a problem with chicken yet, but I find myself ordering lots of vegetable-heavy meals and focusing on sides when I do have a meat entrée. I don't know what to make of it.

re: meat aversion. Is it possible you're pregnant?
(realizing, of course, that asking that question of a woman with a toddler is the fastest way to get one's ass kicked.)
LOL. Not pregnant, but the meat thing does seem to be hormonally influenced. The aversion seems to hit the high point around my period, which seems pretty weird to me!
