Zoe 17 months

Can you tell Zoe's in mid-'sentence'??

Our sweet girl is 17 months old today. It shocks me at the start of every month how quickly Zoe is growing. It's amazing how time flies now that our baby's are home, especially when we remember how time dragged when we were waiting for them to come home.

Zoe is an absolute dag at the moment. She is so funny and likes to make us laugh. She will spin around and around and make herself dizzy because we laugh so hard at her! Here's a short list of some of the things Zoe does or likes:

* Just today Zoe started to say a word for her precious snugglies that she takes to bed - she called them 'Ug-ees'. Sounds SO cute!

* Another molar is coming through which is giving Zoe a little bit of trouble. She's been a bit out of sorts the past couple of days and has bad nappy rash like she did when her last molar came through.

* Zoe still loves reading books in the car. She's done this ever since she's been able to hold them up. It's the first thing she reaches for when she's put in her car seat.

* She adores listening to Play School CD's in the car as well. As soon as it sounds like a song is ending, she say 'More, more' until the next song starts. Drives me insane sometimes as she's so impatient, but it makes it worthwhile when she tries to sing along to some of the songs.

* Zoe's 'talking' ALL the time now. And not quietly either mind you!

* Our little girl has finally started to give kisses. Zoe's always been a cuddly girl, but never a kissy girl. She now leans in for a kiss and says 'mmmmmm-ah' as she puckers up :)

* When Play School comes on, Zoe will grab the red plastic chair and butt it up against the TV cabinet so she can watch her favourite show.

*Zoe loves playing with the shape sorter, and when she gets one in she'll say 'YAY!!!' She also likes playing lego with me. She'll pass me the blocks one by one, and I'll say the colour and Zoe will try and copy what I say.

So there you go, a small snapshot into what Zoe's up to at the moment.

Looks like Zoe means business in this shot.

I love this pic of Zoe looking down concentrating on something.

Eating breakfast. Zoe will either read a book, magazine or look at her photo album while I feed her breakfast.

Another favourite past-time. Building up the coloured pegs.
