Enjoying the Summer!
We've been home about a week now, and we are having a blast! Pop-Pop, Zoe, and I take a walk every day. It's been very hot and sunny here, so Zoe's gotten used to wearing sunglasses a lot. Zoe is having a great time with her cousins, and for the first time, she called someone by name. She usually only does this for me, my dad (Pop Pop) and, well, that is all. I mean, she can say someone's name if I say, "Zoe, who is that?" But now, she calls her cousins to come play. It's so cute. She calls Pierce "Purse" and Jenna "Nenna", and she says "Mere" for come here. She is really having a word explosion right now. She's naming everything, and putting words together to make complete sentences. Of course, there is a downside to all the cousins talking to her -- the older ones are teaching her all the bad words! :-) The one thing we've been working on is the pool. Last year, she loved it! This year, she was a little hesitant for the first few days. Yesterday, Jenna swam for hours with us in the pool. By the end of the afternoon, Zoe was jumping off the side of the pool into my arms. She would swim with me for a minute or two, then say "Again!" to jump off the side of the pool again. She now loves the water! Yeah! I haven't taken her to the beach yet, but I think she'll love that since she loves her sandbox.
