Your new mission

Baby Zoe,

You set yourself a goal. You want to stand up. Your every move is aimed at that goal. Every furniture piece, wall or person along your way is an opportunity to pull yourself up. You smile with pride when you do, as we clap and cheer you on. You are focused, like you were about crawling just a few weeks a go. Now, when you get down as if to crawl, you lift your knees off the ground, push your butt up, press your feet down, and try to stand up. Soon you'll be able to shift your weight and lift your hands off the ground.

Another development - You've become more expressive about your needs. Grandma Roza discovered that you like napping in your car seat listening to music, when you finally give in to tiredness. When I'm around you still resist sleep, so I can't share this experience. Grandma said that yesterday when you started getting sleepy, you  went to your car seat, looked at her laptop where the music is, she put on a tango tune, covered you with a blanket, and zzzzzzzzzz.
