Things Zoe Can Do

- Smile. At everybody. If she's really excited to see you she'll even kick her legs, move her arms around and let out a little laugh.
- Hold her head up. Her neck is very strong now and she can hold her head up on her own almost 100% of the time.

- Push up when on her belly. She's not so great at this when she's laying on the floor (she's getting better though). But she's REALLY good at this when being held, even if she's laying on me or Mike when we're laying down flat.

- Eat a lot. She's eating so much better!

- Talk. Okay, she can't say words yet...but she talks a lot. We have conversations all the time. I have no idea what she's saying to me but it's fun having fake conversations with her.

- Follow me and Mike with her eyes when we walk across the room.

- She really likes to eat her hands. At first she would just kind of suck on her hand while it was in a fist. Now she has figured out that if she sticks her pointer finger out, she can suck on it. She does this with both hands. But mainly the left hand. I think she's going to be a lefty like me.
- Zoe has discovered that these things that are always moving in front of her and hitting her face are her arms and hands. Oh, and she can make them move too! She will sit and just stare at her arms held out in front of her. It's so cute. Every once in a while she'll hit her face, I think she's figuring out that they do what she wants them to.
- Hold a pacifier in her mouth. For the longest time she couldn't hold it in her mouth by herself. But she can finally do this. Yessssss. It helps her calm down when she's crying.

    Isn't it so fun to watch them grow into their own little person?!?!? She has changed so much already. Love all of the new pics!
