A Zoe fix

"C'mon!" you say. "This blog is supposed to be a bunch of cute pictures of the baby- stop all the talk and give us more of that!" Or, in the words of the King, a little less conversation- a little more...cuteness.

I hear you loud and clear- here goes (though I will indulge myself by writing some captions):

For any parents out there, this picture needs no explanation. To her daddy, Zoe said, "Hat! Hat!" and "Book!" I won't get into all of the mushy feelings this scene gives me, but the relationship a father has with his daughter is truly amazing- and I am incredibly blessed to behold it from the beginning.

You may see a theme brewing- Zoe is very into accessorizing these days. Among her favorite words in her vocabulary, "hat" ranks right at the top with "baby" and "more!"

We are in a new stage of mobility around here. The other day, we looked down to see Zoe in the Tupperware drawer. What is it with babies and that drawer? So convenient for mom because it offers at least 10-20 minutes of safe play time in the kitchen while I cook dinner! (classic Zoe look, btw)

Speaking of her hat obsession...

One of my favorite ways to kick-off Fall in Memphis (other than the ALS Walk, of course!) is the Crafts Fair! I went last week and bought this hat for Zoe. I wasn't sure if she would like it, or even keep it on her head, but I had to have it. Really, could you pass that up? Didn't think so.

When we got home, I was putting it on top of her dresser, and she said, "Hat!" I agreed that it was, indeed, a hat. She kept pointing out the obvious until I put said hat on her little head. If the hat was cute off of her head...goodness. For the next 2 mornings, when I went into her room to get her for breakfast, she greeted me with "Hat!" and pointing to the top of her dresser. She insisted on wearing her hat to breakfast, while being accompanied by "Baby!" Oh no! I have a future Red Hat Society member on my hands! (notice her "string of pearls" bib that my friend insisted "every Southern baby girl needs!" and that was before she knew Zoe, the Fashionista!)
