Why am I crying???

 Zoey in the hood...


and another day, another kitty to torment.

Oh boy...lots of pictures this time...but I guess if you're here that's pretty much what you came for so you won't mind. 

What's new?  We're really closing in on the end of the first year!  She's walking and crawling about 50-50 now.  She's so speedy as a quadriped there's just not too much incentive to walk...but she does. 

There was a phase where she demonstrated her climbing skills in many dangerous and inconvenient ways...I would mind the climbing much less if she knew how to get down.  She climbs, the ladder to the attic, the coffee table, the steps into the master bath tub and back out (this is just a cute picture of her posing so adorably that it caught me off guard when she took off at a semi-run on her way toward those precarious aforementioned steps shown in the background),

  

the refridgerator,


her high chair,
  
  
(she went higher than this but I decided I better put the camera down just in case)

The dishwasher...
  


basically anything elevated!

  
Here's a picture of Zoey's first band-aid.  Parental negligence?  Maybe, but regardless, I see many more of these in her future...just like Mom.  A nice paper cut took off the tip of her middle finger.  That bandage sure was gross by the time she managed to chew it off but at least the bleeding finally stopped.

 
Thanks "Aunt" Becky for the cool sweaters!  Here we are out for Firday night sushi and Zoey is modeling her haute couture.  And below is just a cute picture of the Princess with her new red car.
