Baseball's newest fan.

After two weeks of getting the the tv schedule wrong, daddy and Zoey finally got to watch their first Yankees' game. Z was asleep by the 2nd inning, daddy by the fifth. But as you can see above, we were both representing the Captain in our sporty #2 t-shirts.

Zoey also started a new fruit this weekend: apples. Add apples to rice and bananas on the list of yummies that Z loves. Z loves to eat, and is actually getting a little less messy about it. El really works with her on it during the week, getting Z's tongue in the right position and making the whole thing fun. My technique is a bit more crude: I just act as silly as I can and let Z chomp away (but also use the techniques El recommends; it's nice to have a speech therapist for a wife).

Zoey's hearing and processing really kicked in this week. She now seems to understand that voices are more than just another noise, that they are communication. She will make immediate eye contact with people who are speaking, and really responds to hearing her name by turning her head. She's also very close to being able to sit by herself (again, check out the photos above). She wobbles over after a few seconds or so, and leans pretty far forward, but hey, "baby steps" for a baby, right? She'll figure it out soon enough.
