#9: One of her favorite pastimes is to pull up on something to her knees and then bounce and sing, and bounce some more.
#8: Zoë laughs hysterically in two specific situations: 1) when being tickled, especially under the neck and 2) when she is doing something she knows she should not be doing and mommy or daddy come chasing after her. Then we have to keep from laughing and sound firm and serious. Haha!
#7: The little "humph" sound she makes. She will carry on a conversation with that one sound - "humph...humph....humph-humph."
#6: Her singing. Right now she is a little loud one-pitch-wonder, but I can tell she is singing. And it is beautiful to my ears. Most of the time.
#5: Those big, gorgeous brown eyes that are always curiously exploring.
#4: The way she looks when she crawls, with hands slightly turned inward and hips swinging her little bum (which is cutely enlarged by her cloth diapers) back and forth. Sometimes she will catch a toy or blanket by her knees and carry it with her all the way to her new destination. Never. Slowing. Down.
#3: How she explores an item with her hand - placing the palm flat on the surface, then lifting her fingers up and down and up and down, tapping ever so lightly. But then once she gets used to it, she starts banging.
#2: Her angelic sleeping face. And little baby snores.
#1: Her wrinkly-nose-pudgy-dimpled-cheek smile - it melts my heart.
And many, many more. This past month has been brimming over with new developmental skills, like waving, clapping, stair climbing, more articulate babbling, pulling up to knees and then standing, and a little bit of cruising.
But it is difficult to just tell you about it it - so we will show you. Here are two videos to give you a little glimpse of what our go-getter has been up to - enjoy!
