Almost One and Almost Walking!

Zoe Marie will be one year old in a week!

It looks like we will be celebrating her birthday with a milestone- walking on her own!

Interestingly, Gabe also took his first steps a few days before his first birthday.

She already gets around pretty well by hanging onto things like the coffee table and her shopping cart. She is ready to hang with big brother, so seeing him running around certainly motivates her.

Check her out on video! (Ignore the part where I'm explaining to my mom how to use her camera).

Zoe Enjoying Herself at the Beach

Miss Zoe is growing right up!

Last post I commented on how she doesn't have any signs of teeth. Well, lo and behold, less than two weeks later she now has four teeth coming in!

One is at the bottom and is almost out. One right beside it is following and the other two are coming in slowly up top.

Interestingly, she has been much more interested in food now that she has teeth coming. I guess those two events coincide. Gabe had teeth early and ate much earlier, too. Zoe has gotten her teeth later and ate later.

Here is a video of her eating for the first time (well sort of) back in June. She has come a long way since then!




Her favorite food is Stage One Tender Golden Sweet Potatoes. She also tolerates bananas and applesauce.

She is crawling now, too. She's not completely on her knees but she kind of scoots. She is FAST! I will try to get a video of that.

Here is a cute video of her enjoying herself at the beach. Listen closely to hear her say "Dada" at the end. She's been saying that for a while....
