Lots to write. It’s been so long!

What a gorgeous creature you are!  And so funny too.  Todaywe were at the doctor's for your check up and you brought along yourdoll.  For some reason you sat the doll on the chair and startedplaying "Pat-a-cake" with its hands.  This was a new doctor whohadn't seen you before and he was quite impressed!

You like to imitate everything.  Last night at supper time you allof a sudden noticed that my soup bowl was empty so you started tryingto dish me more food.  Then you tried to feed me.  And witheach bite you would open your mouth wide while you tried to get thespoon in my mouth.  When I finished you said "good girl".  Ohso precious you are.

We had a busy December and I haven't written for a long time. First Grandma and Grandpa came to visit us.  We put up ourChristmas tree and I was a little nervous of your curiosity. Somehow though you were really good.  You got into smelling thetree instead of playing with all the ornaments.  Yeah!  Youthoroughly enjoyed playing with Maggie (Grandpa's dog) and you ate alot of Grandma's turkey soup.  I think that made her happy.

Then we had Christmas at Uncle Steve's house.  You were so woundup and giddy.  Daddy was playing all sorts of silly rhyme gameswith you and you were laughing so hard you couldn't open your eyeseven.  That night we checked into a hotel, just the four of us,and we had oodles of fun.  You liked the swimming pool a lot.

Auntie Becky and Uncle Aldo came for New Year's.  It didn't takelong for you to remember them.  You were a happy little onecuddling up with Auntie.  I think Auntie was enjoying herself alot too!

Then we went off to Calgary.  Such good travelling girl youare.  You do really well on the airplane.  Auntie Lizette'sdogs were probably your favourite part of Calgary.   You sure talk a lot.  We don't always understand you but the oneline that made your Lolo and Lola laugh a lot was whenever they'd say"Zoe, how are you doing", you would always say "good".  So cute.

Now we are home again and getting back into a routine.  One ofthese days hopefully you'll fall asleep on Toronto bedtime hoursagain.  We have a new babysitter and you seem to like her. I'm glad as it makes it much easier for mommy to leave when I have togo to work.  You are so into balls and shape sorting things thesedays.  You also love to play with stuffed animals and dolls. Such a nurturing little child.

I love you oodles my little beauty.  You are so much fun to kiss and hug. – Mommy
