New tricks

Well, Zoey has quite a few new tricks lately. She is finally sitting up on her own. I think that she's been strong enough to do it for a while, but wouldn't actually concentrate and stay in one place! But now that she has mastered it, she loves to sit and play with her toys.

And, we also need to report that she's on her way to crawling. One of these days, I think she's just going to take off! :) She can get up on all fours and rock, but still pretty much rolls, or twists or squirms on her belly to get where she wants to go.

And lastly, she has mastered drinking from a straw. She really did not seem all that thrilled with the sippy cup. I think that having to tip it up to drink from it was too difficult for her, although she loved banging it on the tray of the high chair! So, I saw a baby cup with a straw while I was grocery shopping and figured that we'd give it a try. She figured it out right away - such a smart girl! Look how happy she is!
