13 Months

Zoë is now 13 months old and changing so much everyday. She loves to talk. She jabbers all of the time, and there are new words constantly:

1. How pretty (she enunciates very well)
2. Dog
3. Eyes
4. Nose

She is walking, climbing steps, climbing....climbing...climbing. She also is learning what she is allowed to do and what she is not allowed to do. She has a very "big" temper that we are ignoring to try to break her small tantrums.

Family Beach Trip

We had a great time on our beach trip to Alligator Pointe, FL with my parents, AKA Bee Bee and Gramme, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Haleigh. Everyone I've talked to asks me "Where's that?" Well, it's a part of the coast that is "old Florida". No hotels, no condos, only beach houses. We had the best time swimming, reading, playing in the sand, taking naps, strolling on the beach, fishing, shooting pool, and playing cards on our one rainy day. Zoë really blossomed in walking while we were there. She is walking EVERYWHERE! She hates to be told No No! She repeats no no and if we've gotten onto her for getting into something she knows she's not suppose to, she looks at you and says no no. She loves playing peak a boo! She now loves the itsy bitsy spider almost as much as Old McDonald, which is her favorite. She rarely takes a bottle now, all on her own. We really haven't had to try to wean her from it, she's doing it herself. She would much prefer to have a cup unless she's really sleepy, so the night time bottle is still a must but she rarely takes half the bottle.
