"mommy", "yummy"


We picked up Rachelle from Seattle airport yesterday. The trip went well.. but our lives seem to be incredibly stressful now. We hope that Zoe doesn't feel any of it... and well... in times of stress, Zoe is a ray of sunshine.

A few funny Zoe moments:

she said "mommy" yesterday.. that is the first time I've heard it.. usually it is "mama"

she also said "yummy" after every bite (encouraged by her sister Rachelle)... it was cute.

when I get home, Zoe always fusses, and wants to nurse, so I've been trying to teach her to communicate instead of whining, so I said, "Zoe what do you want? Do you want to nurse?" and that was all it took for her to learn the word "nurse".. now she says it all the time. Bruce thinks it is hillarious, so he encourages it ...although I'm trying to get her to cut back...
mostly because she often doesn't nurse, but just pacifies or sucks non-productively... so I tell her.. "no sucking, you must nurse".... so one day she told me "suck"... oh... she is a cute devil.
