zoey's first birthday is quickly approaching. on that day, i plan to take her for her first professional photo shoot at jc penney's or maybe target. you know, a real classy session. it should be fun actually because she's so super social.

she will take anyone's finger, if that finger will take her walking at high speeds. taking two toys in her hands and standing next to something is becoming old hat. she has actually taken two steps at once on her own! we put her on this red bouncy ball and she sits on it bouncing, then stands up and pushes off VERY cautiously.

she's fallen many many times recently, mostly due to her drive to run, when she can barely stand on her own, and sometimes due to our tired stupid clutzisms.

she says mama and dada but mostly dada with intent. escaping the changing table, and diapers is driving eric and i crazy.

zoey still doesn't sleep very well, waking up almost every two hours. i always think she's going through a growth spurt, i'm trying to feed her more food because she still wants the mama milk all night. grrrr. i'm trying to "cherish these times"

and now she's up from her nap. at least it was a good one.
