Zoe hit her 17th month 6 days ago. It still amazes me how fast this is going. Geez. It was like she was born yesterday. She has changed so much. No that you would know since i haven’t posted a pic in 7 months! I was looking at her just yesterday and i told Kris that she is no longer a bay, shes a little girl. She is getting quite advanced with her use of sign language, signing multiple words in a single expression, like “more fish” when she wants me to kick on the screen saver on my computer or “Daddy help” when she wants me to help her do something. It’s really neat. She isn’t talking much but I’m sure that will come along soon. She still has a few words like dog, cat, duck and my personal favorite ” eeeeeuuuwww!” when she smells something bad. She now even says that when she has a poopy diaper. Not that we need her to, she stinks enough that we say it too!

She loves the water, loves the splash parks and shows no fear of it whatsoever. We take her over to a nearby waterpark and she just can’t get enough. We have a little white trash style 4″ diameter play pool out back that she splashes around in and loves. On Monday, I took her out back for a swim.
When she was done, which she lets us know by getting out and grabbing our legs, I took her inside. She seemed to be done rather quickly this time. I dried her off and got her dressed in her shorts and a nice tee shirt. About half an hour later, I went out back to check something out (we just sodded the yard) and she followed me out. I went left and took ten steps, turned around and she was sitting in the pool fully dressed. I couldn’t believe it. She was having a ball in her clothes. I undressed her and took off her 1000 lb. diaper and she played for an hour in the pool.

This is really fun!
