11 Months Old!

I am so impressed with how quickly my baby girl will learn new things.  She is really funny and is very outgoing.  Climbing, dancing and seeing how loud she can get are her favorite things to do.  She is getting really close to walking just in the last week she seems to be more interested in it.  She has been able to take about 2 steps at a time for the last month.

This week at Daycare she did not cry when I dropped her off and it made me so happy, but at the same time I was kinda sad.  She even reached out for one of her teachers which is way different then a few weeks ago when she would have a death grip on me as soon as we walked into the classroom.

We went to see the Doc last week since she had had a running nose for about a month and a cough with a fever.  I went back and forth on taking her and then she twice last Wednesday coughed so hard she vomited I decided I better get her check to be safe.  We went saw the Doc and he checked her and said "every thing looks okay" but he wanted to have her blood tested and chest X-rayed.  My poor child has veins like me in that they are very hard to find.  They tried her right arm first and she watched the needle go in and was doing so good, until she had to wiggle the needle to find the vein.  Then they did the other arm and were able to get enough blood.  She was pretty mad by this point and so holding her down for the X-ray was no fun either.  All was good nothing was wrong with her, which is great but man if I did not feel so horrible for putting her through all that.  While there she weighed in at 19 lbs., 31 inches tall, and 45 cm head.

Zoë is so much fun right now I love playing with her.   She waves to strangers every where we go and loves to see new things.

I can't believe it has been a year since I was begging her to come out of my belly so I could meet her.
