She likes watermelon

Yes, you read the title right, my daughter likes watermelon.  I guess this means she didn't get the recessive watermelon-hating gene.  (I did try eating some again, I've heard tastes change after being pregnant.  Yuck.  Still.)  But, Zoe likes it so she and her daddy can enjoy it together.  She also likes the homemade applesauce I made today.  Spinach isn't one of her favorites but she'll eat it.  She's a great eater and makes the funniest yum, yum noises while she's eating.
No more progress on sitting unassisted or crawling yet.  She's is grabbing everything within reach; Mommy's hair, Daddy's glasses, picture frames hanging on the wall, forks, spoons, cups, everything!  Her other new skill is banging things.  She'll take a rattle or something in her hand and bang it against the floor or her leg.  
She's not saying any words yet but she does a ton of babbling.  She does say a da, da, da, da noise that might be her saying Da, Da but I'm not sure about that.  Here's a couple of videos of her Saturday morning.  After Daddy went to work, I brought her into bed with me so we could be lazy in bed.  She was in a wonderful mood and was kind enough to share her mood on camera.  Watch for her toe sucking, fake coughing and lots of silly babble!
And here's a short video of her in her jumperoo! She likes jumping and wiggling around
