I forgot to add the other thing that Zoë learned when she was about 8.5 months old.. she starting pointing at objects. She now points as we stroll.. when she sees bunnies, ducks and especially dogs, she points, and screams (as though the dog must hear that and come running towards Zoë, instead of what they usually do [run the other way]). It is so cute. I also have it on tape where I swear she said something that sounded like "bunny" when we were bunny hunting (there are bunnies all over campus).
The other part of the pointing, if the puppy goes out of sight (and occasionally bunnies), she screams like someone has pinched her. In one instance, she cried for two blocks, until I was able to distract her.
Speaking of being on animal watch...
Today we saw a huge grey owl grab one of the baby bunnies on campus. (yes, at 1pm, in the middle of the day).
We also have 3 deers in our neighborhood.. Bruce saw them this morning on his way to campus.
And I've seen a raccoon in the backyard scaling the pine trees.
