A Shiny White Pearl

Zoe has a tooth! On our recent trip to Colorado, one morning she woke up and I noticed a shiny white tooth peeking out of her gums. Maybe the higher elevation made it easier for the tooth to break through? Whatever the reason, she's enjoying having a tooth and learning how to 'bite' things. We've been feeding her more table food that she can 'chew'; mostly soft fruits and veggies. Still no crawling but she is...so...close! She can take about 1 or 2 steps with her arms and legs and then she collapses. Many bangs to her face and nose later and she's frustrated but each day she gets stronger and stronger. She did wonderful on our trip to Colorado. 33 hours in the car over 5 days while teething and just a tiny bit of fussing. We drove to the top of Pike's Peak because that's what Mommy and Daddy do in Colorado Springs. We hadn't been back to the top since Daddy proposed 4 years ago. We stopped at the lake about halfway up to have a picnic. Zoe enjoying our picnic break on Pike's Peak We kept driving after eating and made it to the top. Daddy did a great job driving up and then Mommy and Daddy froze since we didn't pack jackets. Zoe had 2 jackets and a sweater but she didn't like the wind. This is *NOT* a flattering picture of either of us but proof we made it to the top: Mommy and Zoe on Pike's Peak I'm hoping to have pictures of the wedding soon. I neglected to take pictures of Daddy, Mommy and Zoe dressed up for the wedding but there were lots of pictures taken by other people. We also had lots of time with family. Zoe did great and really enjoyed watching her cousin Ewan crawl around like crazy! She also loved watching Sam do Sam things. Zoe and Ewan Finally, tomorrow is Daddy's birthday. Happy Birthday Daddy! Zoe and Mommy love you! Daddy and Zoe in Colorado
