My Chimp
Zoe’s words/phrases: I can’t see, Toy Story, Buzz, Jessie, Woody, Wait a second, cool.
Sorry I’ve been mia. Just haven’t had time. Zoe’s been taking 1 1/2 naps now which means less “me” time. When we go upstairs for her nap she now sings the Yo Gabba Gabba song but her lyrics are “Naptime, naptime. Close your eye. Time for bed.” And then after I lay her down she makes me say good night like ten times before I can leave and I have to make funny faces when I say it.
Wow, so much to document since I haven’t been on in a while. Some quick things before I forget:
:: Girlfriend now knows a circle, a triangle, and a square but she pronounces the square as “squa”. I never taught her the square and triangle. I’m gonna teach her how to say parallelogram just to be funny.
:: Her favorite color is red.
:: Her favorite movie by far is The Incredibles
:: Last week she was eating dinner and I lectured her about something so she hit my arm with her hand and then we made eye contact and she knew something was about to go down so since her hand was still on my arm she started squeezing my wrists and said “massage!” She must think I’m stupid or something.
:: Her memory is amazing. She asked about her cousin Josie on our way to the church superbowl game at 5. I told her that Josie was at her house and that she was far away. When we were driving back home at 9:30 she asked about Josie again and I told her that Josie was at her own house sleeping. She said “Josie unnie far away.”
2 weekends ago my sister came down with her family. Zoe was excited cause that meant playing with cousins Josie and Ellis. Well Ellis and Zoe fought a few times and each time she would come over to me crying while Ellis is looking all like “Why is she crying? What happened? Who dun it?” Like totally innocent. Haha! So I’d take Zoe into my arms and give her a hug and say things like “You’re ok”, “He didn’t mean it”, or “Zoe you have to share”. She would stand in front of me, cup my face in her hands, and then say matter of factly, “Umma, I hate Ellis.” *sigh* So I would then say “Noo, you don’t mean that. You love Ellis right?” “Yes.” “He’s your cousin and you love him right?” “Yes.” Then she’d cup my face again and say “Umma? I hate Ellis.”
Zoe’s picked up a gross habit lately. I guess it’s kinda my fault. You know how when kids get toe jam it comes with a funk? Well I love cleaning the toe funk. She’s gotten interested in my cleaning her toe funk so now she just sits and examines in between her toes and tries to see if she can get anything out. This wonderful habit kicked in 2 nights ago. It’s the most annoying when you’re TRYING to change her diaper and she choses to examine her funk collection right then.
(The 2nd photo was actually taken at the dinner table. Girlfriend don’t hold back yo.)
Last night I put her down for bed and gave her her milk bottle. I said,
Me: Zoe I love you.
Zoe: I miss you.
Me: Big hug
Zoe: (while hugging me) hug hug hug
Then she cups my face into her hands and says “Don’t worry.”
Me: Uh I’m not you weirdo. Drink your milk.

Love these updates! Zoe is growing up really well, you must be so proud of her
her massage comment is hilarious! she’s too funny
have missed your updates and cute zoe pics!
omg… you had me laughing with the massage story. I hope she didn’t get in trouble. She’s so darn witty.
Elisa used to be really into cleaning her toe funk as well… she would automatically start cleaning her feet whenever she took off her socks. She stopped doing that after a while.
Tell Zoe that Justin has a lot of toe funk that needs cleaning if she runs out of her own
Mmmm, toe cheese. Reminds me of how I used to LOVE smelling Jonah’s feet (and his tightly clenched hands) when he was an infant… hehe.
Your conversation with Zoe cracked me up…she’s so funny.
@injeannieous - i know what you mean. it’s like how you like the smell of your own bongoo.
Zoe cracks me up! I love the toe jam inspection photo!
