Zooey cleans

Zooey is learning that if she makes a mess, 
she has to clean it up!



Unlike Cinderella, Zooey's mommy is not a wicked stepmother.  
She's just mean.

Zooey feeds herself...

...and has a yogurt facial while she's at it








How to get a kiss from Zooey

The way to Z's heart is apparently through her stomach!  
If you want to get a kiss, here's what you need to do:  


1. Show her the treat

2. Draw her in

3. Insert treat into your mouth

4. Wait patiently as she moves in

5. Sneak in a smooch/bbo-bbo as she takes the treat while pretending
she is giving said smooch/bbo-bbo

6. Smile with glee at outwitting an 11-month old


Snow White outtakes



She was really tired when we took these photos








A(nother) new chair for Zooey!



We got a special new chair for Zooey this Christmas



Let's hope she doesn't have to spend too much time in it! :D

[This chair was a gag gift from one of Chuck's colleagues
for the gift exchange at the office Christmas party, held at our house this year.  
Conveniently, the person to whom it actually belonged decided to leave it for Zooey...]

Zooey's ponytail


While Zooey has been blessed to be born with a lot of hair (thanks mom!), 
it was not quite a full head of hair - the top, visually important layer, was quite long, but the hair underneath was, sadly, lacking.  Thankfully it is now filling in:

(if you look closely, only the hair in the upper half of her head is actually part of the ponytail)

"don't make fun of my hair!"

Where's Zooey? aka Peek-a-boo, part II





Playing with Emo


Zooey's almost walking!

A family portrait

Thank you Ellen emo!

Aunt Julie feeds Zooey


11 months old!

Zooey is 11 months old!  Only one more month until 
her first birthday!  We can't believe this year
has flown by so quickly.


One year ago we were waiting for her arrival and today she is a bright, energetic, happy baby!


Her new smile! 
[even princesses need a bib now and then]




"OK, now go get me my sunglasses!"

"Are we finished?"

"Oops, you weren't supposed to see this.....uh.....you will 
delete that, won't you?"
[uh...no, mean mommy deletes nothing, muwhahahahaha] 

"Bye!!!"

Fun with Uncle Peter

These pictures are a little late, taken when Uncle Peter visited in November.

He had lots of fun spending time with Zooey...





Z doesn't look quite as amused



Unwrapping presents with Aunt Gloria!

Snow white by day, sleeping beauty by night


[ed. note: the cheesy title of this post cannot, unfortunately, be blamed on daddy.  a moment of weakness on mommy's part.  sorry.]

I love ripping tissues...

...and cardboard, and newspaper, and magazines...

Z's unique brand of crawling

Zooey has developed a lopsided crawl/scoot to get around.
It's not the most efficient method of motion but allows miss busybody to move without having to put her head down.


I love to eat!

Z, after a snack of crackers and hummus, yummy!




Z eating an Asian pear...she LOVED it!
