makeshift table in our new kitchen which now has a real table
i stopped the car to take this picture
vegan thai restaurant shrine (is it called a shrine?) zoey said, "mommy look! christmas!"
i've been trying to remember what these fluffy thing are called since my friend ben told me about them about 10 years ago...they take over the swamps, are not native to the us, and kill all the cattails, but they look pretty to me.
left alone with finger paint. not too bad.
yay!
a trip to the beach on a getting over being sick day
beach berries
cousins
cozy
i came around the corner because i heard silenceso here are some pictures from october to hold you over. i'm trying!
in zoey's life lately...there is much "i want!" and "read this to me" and "nooooooo!!!!!!!!" and when i looked back at videos from a half a year ago, or even longer, when she couldn't talk, she seemed so much happier. i think it is a grass is greener type of deal though. she's happy still, just ornery! the "terrible twos" and approaching "terrible threes" have sneaked upon us in full force.
one thing i really enjoy about her age is her growing interest and ability with games. this is something i like to do too! also, she's starting to sing songs she remembers the words too. she hasn't quite got the right tune but has the rhythm down which is really cool. she's very cuddle with me (sometimes daddy too, but never anyone else) after nap time. oh, and she still takes naps pretty regularly for an hour midday, which is a great break for me.
she wants to be read stories most of the time, and is getting braver with strangers, and with family members or friends she was always shy with. i brought her over to her friend henry's house the other day. the visit before that, henry's dad john was home because it was the weekend. so on this visit the other day, we walked up the steps to the door and knocked, and zoey said, "john is not here. john is not home. he's away." i replied, "actually, henry's daddy john is here today, he got to stay home from work today!" in a super cheery voice. her demeanor instantly changed from excited to play with henry, to; something is going to jump out at me from every possible unseen spot in this house and i must be prepared, so i will freeze in this position and try to disappear mode. she was okay to play after i came in with her and she saw john was in the other room on the computer. of course, when i came back after an hour and was playing with her, she nearly screeched to a halt when running to a toy that was close to john. the funniest part is that, although john is tall and has facial hair, he is such a sweet, quiet and cool guy.
sometimes i think maybe she is read too many stories because a lot of the time she'll say things like, "mommy! i'm in the bedroom! i shouted!" or "i'm going to draw. i said" it's cute and funny. i'm sure i laugh hardest at many things she does, when some people are wondering what's so funny. maybe.
i'm tired, i must go to bed.
