Reason 60 Why I Love Being A Mom: Climbed Over Blockade

Zoey is smart. It wasnt too long ago she started standing up, now she's climbing. As part of our blockade to keep her in the living room we use(d) a toy truck that i thought was my siblings but came to discover it was my mom and aunts!




Needless to say being confined to the living room is not Z's cup of tea. She was getting frustrated and mom wasnt helping but taking pics.





Yep she was getting there!




Much to my chagrin she cleared it. Though i was happy at the same time cuz it means she's developing. I am loving this age! She's so interactive! She is just the most perfect thing and i couldnt be more blessed to be her mommie!

Reason 3 Why I Love Being A Mom: Surprise Standing

 So Zoey really wants to bypass this crawling phase and hurry on up to the walking part of her development. She's been doing this, above, a lot so last night I finally was close to my camera and snapped this shot. Little did I know she was going to turn to her right and use the highchair to balance herself and stand up!

She figured out that spreading her legs helped her balance better :o) Or she heard her daddy teach this to his friend's boys in a jiu jitsu lesson. :o)

And to prove this was no fluke she did this again this morning trying to get her cute little baby hands on my keyboard :oP

Reason 291 Why I Love Being A Mom: Daddy Torture

Okay so I shouldnt say that I love Zoey torturing her daddy but it's pretty adorable her climbing up on him to check him out. And of course she had to play dentist: her daddy's least favorite appointment to go to :o)

Reason 231 Why I Love Being A Mom: Doorstopper

Zoey, in her crawling madness, has finally discovered a door-stopper. So cute to watch her play with it, break it, and see her reaction when she lets go :o) I love rediscovering the magic in everything as I watch her absorb her surroundings.

Boing!

Reason 18 Why I Love Being A Mom: Shoes of Yore

Some more treasures from the baby box I found! Zoey went for ballet shoes like her momma :o)

Reason 303 Why I Love Being A Mom: The Crawling Starts!

This is a little video of the process of Zoey figuring out how to crawl. She started out crawling towards a musical clock from my and my siblings' childhoods (and Matt apparently had one too!). The final pushing point was putting a cup of Starbucks in front of her; she definitely crawled for that! :o)

The song is also called Baby Elephant Walk which I thought would be appropriate ;o)
