I know its been a long time since I have posted. Motherhood will do that to a person. Priorities shift. Time spent with my little one is more important than a blog. However, I love sharing her with my village and commemorating all of the milestones she has hit over the past few months.
Her personality is really beginning to shine through. She loves attention (who doesn't?) and has really begun to understand what I am telling her at times. She knows the cats name "Emma" and tries to look for her when asked and grunt out an "Eh'. Her verbal grunts have continued and I am trying to learn what they all mean.
Zola loves to explore, gets super excited when she recognizes a familiar face and squeals with excitement when her grannie "Mama Jilly" enters the room. I would like to think she does the same for me when I enter a room. I just notice it more with others.
Recently, she has started the act of clapping. Still trying to decide if its on purpose or if its just because she can physically clap. She knows to do it with patty cake and if someone else is doing it. Zola loves to pull herself to a standing position. Its much more exciting than crawling. And the drool. Oh the drool. No teeth as yet. Lots and Lots of drool.
Here are few photos from the past few months. I am just in amazement that I am her mommy and that we have finally found each other. People keep saying this phrase to me this holiday season and its true. We were meant to be together.
