13 months

At her 12 month doctor appointment recently, Zoe weighed 20 lbs 15 oz (60%) and was 31 inches long (94%). Perfectly heathy in every way! She's crawling like a champ and pulling up all the time. I'm still not used to setting her down next to me and her disappearing around the corner chasing after Bella. She has this strange habit of carrying a sock around with her and chewing on it occassionally. Sometimes this means she pulls a sock off her feet to do this and other times she pulls a clean sock out of the laundry pile. She'll even crawl around with the sock from room to room. Here's some video of her crawling last time that Grandma Mary was here: And I wanted to share this pic of Zoe and Mommy. She fell asleep in my lap for the first time in months. She's getting so big! We went to the Pumpkin Patch when Grandma Mary was here also and we got a ton of great pictures... And finally, we'd like to wish Grandma Mary a very happy Birthday! We miss you and hope to see you again soon!

Texas Birthday Party

Zoe has been busy lately! We all went down to Texas for Aunt Leah's wedding. It was a lovely ceremony in the backyard at Grandma and Grandpa's house. During the ceremony and for most of the reception, Zoe was doing this... The day after the wedding, Aunt Sharon threw a Texas birthday party for her. It was jungle themed with a very cute Monkey cake. And animal masks that we all wore... And of course Zoe got to taste her first cake and icing! She also enjoyed opening and playing with the gifts: And finally, she enjoyed quality time with family. Thanks Aunt Sharon for such a great Texas party! Stay tuned for the Oklahoma party and a crawling update!
