Pizza Skeletons

Apologies for the month-long gap in updates.

The photo set has a lot of firsts for Zoey in it: her first Halloween skeleton costume, her first bites of pizza, and her first time voting (she picked a winner!).

It's impossible to put a month of Zoey's life into a few paragraphs (which is why you should update more than once a month, dummy!), but here are some brief highlights. Motor skills: Zoey is loving getting into her bumbo seat all by herfelf. She often ends up backwards in it, and isn't all that good at getting out of it, but she LOVES getting into that chair. Her walking/running has unlocked a new super-power - Going In Circles. If El or I are sitting on the floor, Zoey will do laps around us until we get too tired. It's mainly right-turns at the moment, in case you were wondering.

On the verbal front, little Miss Z. Wren's language is exploding. She's said such sundry things as "bread," "giraffe," "toes," and "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." (my favorite Amendment, dontcha know). She's also following directions. Sorta. The other night I asked zoey if she wanted to sit in my lap to read a book, and she waddled right over, plopped herself down, and let me read to her for an entire 38 seconds. Good stuff.

It's turned frigid up here, so I suspect the next several batches of photos will include lots of Zoey-Under-45-feet-of-bunting shots. So you all have that too look forward to.
