Zoe's newest taste in foods is guacamole! That means daddy now has to share that with baby & mommy (neither of whom originally liked it)... sorry, daddy! :)
Zoe also likes to help make dinner... Friday Jan 19th she helped tear up the lettuce for taco night!!!
On Saturday the 20th (daddy's birthday), mommy packed the car and the baby and the doggie and drove over to Purdue, where daddy had a jazz band festival. SURPRISE, DADDY!!!! On top of that, Grandma Gracie, Aunt Meghan, and Grandpa Hall also came to play! :) Daddy's band won their division and the other groups from his school did super as well (let's just say the awards ceremony MC got a lot of practice saying "Champaign Central High School"). We stayed overnight in a hotel, ate Meghan's famous chocolate birthday cake, and went swimming in the morning! We had to trek outside in the SNOW to get to the pool, because it was actually at the neighboring hotel... and when we went back to our hotel, our key wouldn't work! We had to run all the way around to the front door... big hassle, but we survived :)
Today we transported Zoe back to Urbana, unburied daddy's car, shoveled snow off the driveway for the 1st time, and built a snowman on our back patio. Zoe loves him, but he's not gonna stick around too long. By the end of dinner he was much shorter and he was leaning forward and to the side. Daddy did some 'repair' work... hopefully he'll at least last through the night!
Zoe's still working hard on walking and she's able to balance standing on her own really pretty well, as long as she's occupied (for example while playing with a Roxy toy, mommy's coat zipper, the piano, etc)
Well that's it for today... PHEW... that was a long one :) Stay tuned for more pictures and VIDEO on the picasa site as well.
Over & Out-

thanks for the compliment... Leif was just telling me I wasn't posting enough! The way I see it, there's really only so much you can write about a baby.... so much of what they do is a "you had to be there" sort of thing ;-) ha ha ha... I'm glad you're reading it and posting comments... that way I know I'm not just doing this for nothing :)
