Anyway- Zoe has been amazing lately- especially with her explosion of words/sentences. Every day she is saying new things and being very clear and articulate. She seems SO thrilled that she can now actually have a bit of a mini-conversation with us :) I think she went through a stage of utter anger at not being able to verbally express to us what she was thinking in her head. She still gets frustrated when we don't understand, but she's so persistent that we usually figure it out eventually.
Here's a quick synopsis, followed by a bunch of recent pics:
PIC 1 & 2: Zoe climbing at the mall playground... she is INCREDIBLY CAUTIOUS... all the other kids are running around, falling down, etc etc and she's super-slow in her monkey-like pursuits... but she's warming up to being a little more "go-for-it" and a little less "OH NO!!!!" about when she does take a tumble ;-)
PIC 3, 4, & 5: Zoe enjoying bubbles (which currently sounds an awfully lot like "balls" in her vocab, so you have to figure out which of the two she actually wants... both are extremely popular!). These were at storytime at the Urbana Library... a lot of our playgroup friends were there, too.
PIC 6, 7, 8, & 9: Today's Playdate @ the Savoy Rec Center, followed by brunch/lunch at LePeep... Zoe LOVES open gym time! She was screaming at me when I finally made her put her coat on and go outside to head to lunch... but as you can see, she enjoyed lunch a lot as well :) It was quite the sight to see 5 toddlers lined up in a row across from their mommies (we got a lot of comments and look-sees from the employees and other guests at LePeep :))... and what you can't see in PIC 9 is that there's actually 1 more lil' guy sleeping away in his carseat which is sitting on the floor between our two tables. It must've been quite a sight to see....
