Fav phrase "Oh wee how pretty!"

To update you all on my talkative little girl...

She now weighs 22 pounds and she is 32 inches long. We went to the allergist today because of Zoë's chronic uticaria (hives). We now know after 15 skin test pricks (with needles) on her back that she does not have any food allergies!!!!! What we don't know is the cause of her breakouts! Just pray we never have to use the ever present epipen jr.

Zoë is really enjoying her time at home with GiGi/Mimi. Zoë still hasn't made up her mind what she will call Genia. She hasn't started calling my mom, Gramme, any particular name consistently. This is frustrating for both of them. She definately has Mommy and BeeBee down pat! Yesterday I came home to beautiful hand and footprint artwork Zoë and Genia did for me!

So now for the list update
Signs: Eat, Milk, Bath, All Done, Please, More, Cup
Gross Motor Skills: trying to run, kicks a stationary ball
Fine Motor Skills: putting in and taking objects out of containers, tries to sort shapes but wrong more often than correct, throws with her left arm more often than her right, blows kisses,waves hi and bye, and Lord help me she can climb stairs! She also loves to brush her hair and brush her teeth.

Now to her vocabulary, she talks and talks and talks. Zoë is her mom and BeeBee's little girl b/c she loves to talk just as much as we do! She is one of those kids you may hate to see coming b/c she will talk your ear off whether you can understand her or not, she just keeps talking. She talks to us, the tv, her toys, her babies, her bath toys, her food, do you see a pattern here?Words: (Genia let me know if I forget any)
