For months, Dave and I have been saying how great it will be to arrive at daycare and find Zoe to be one of the kiddos out playing in the grass and toys. It's not that she doesn't get a chance to do her thing there, it's that since she's been such a crawler, she's best kept out of the fray by hanging on the swing set with Pete and the wee ones. Yesterday our wishes were answered! She was down on the grass (actually down, having just tumbled) mixing it up and she - sob! - walked to us when she saw us!! And Pete said that she'd been there the whole time, covering the entire play yard! Go bug!
And, with her newfound foot freedom comes some much-needed confidence for Zoe, too. Seems that having walking and the rocking chair under her belt, she's up for riding her rodeo zebra (it bounces and 'spins' when you sit or push down on it). Up until today, she'd fuss if you put her on that thing, preferring instead to stand alongside it to make it bounce. But today, I stuck her on it. After a bit of fuss she got herself off...then turned around and climbed right back on, bouncing and chattering on that thing for a good half hour before taking a break. Go bug!
