I can hardly believe that Zoe is already 10 months old. It has come up on us so fast! I know I say that every month but this one feels especially fast due to the fact that she now can walk. She actually turned 10 months while I was away on a trip to Vegas for a quasi-family reunion. I was gone for three days and missed her terribly the entire time. She is growing up so fast and every day it gets better and better.

I have a bunch of pictures to upload and will do so next post. I just got a new computer and am trying to get it all organized first. Next post to appear soon…

Kris and I can’t believe it. Zoe is only 9 months old and can now officially walk. I was made official today based on her ability to pretty much walk all the way to where she is going, including turning and changing direction. She has been able to take upwards of 24 steps before falling down.

I came home from work and watched her walk around the corner from her room, around the corner, to my room. I was amazed.

I put together a funny little video to commemorate this awesome day that came upon us too fast!

Two weeks ago, I was remarking to a friend at work that Zoe now has six teeth in her mouth, 4 on the bottom and 2 on the top. I told him that, unfortunately, she has been afflicted with her daddy’s gap in between her two upper teeth, to which my co-worker (downgraded from friend) replied �??Like a walrus.�?� You son of a #$%$^! I told him, you just called my daughter a walrus, thanks a lot. Why couldn’t he of said something cool like a saber toothed tiger!

This week Zoe went to her 9 month checkup. She passed with flying colors. Kris was telling over the phone that she was in 95% for this and that. I had bad reception on my cell phone and had to asked her to repeat a percentile score, as the same co-worker (still downgraded from friend) was walking next to me. After I got off the phone, he said �??Yeah, 95% for height and 175% for tooth size.�?� I wanted to hit him. He followed up with �??Walruses are some of the smartest mammals in the ocean.�?�

My poor little walrus child, at least she�??s smart as ocean life.
