Me and Zadie playing in the mud at low tide this past weekend...
Zadie and Skip are both wiped out after a recent walk down to the beach. I love that Zadie could fall asleep in this position -- I'm very envious. Thanks, Connie, for the double stroller!
Zadie is almost 20 months now and we keep wondering when she's going to start talking. But then I decided to make a list of all the words she says and I came up with 40! Now if she could only string a few together. But no rush...I'm sure there will be plenty of times that I'm tired of hearing her talk! Here is Zadie's current vocabulary, although the caveat is that she doesn't pronounce these all correctly -- but she pronounces them well enough that I know what she means. The asterisk means that they are her TOP, very favorite words.
no*, whoa, mama*, towel* (strangely obsessed with towels!), hat, helmet, dog, wawa*, nice, Skip* ("Ship"), that*, fruit/food (sounds the same), home, book, share, yes, shoe, sock, foot, bath, fun, arf, meow, help, up, down, on*, more*, ball, bye, hi.
I'm curious to see whether Zadie will be more mechanical or verbal. So far, Tori and I are always amazed by how much Zadie loves taking things apart and putting them back together. I'm not just being a biased parent when I say that she is ahead of the curve in that respect. And she's definitely not ahead of the curve in terms of talking, so it will be very interesting if she grows up to be a little engineer kid. I'm so completely useless at anything mechanical that it will be nice to have the extra help (Tori's sort of good at both).

Looks like a fun day at the beach, and that $40 hat is pretty cute!I'm sure once Zadie starts talking you may look back and miss the days when she was mute.
I would have put an asterisk on "fruit/food" :) That Zadie Zoo is too cute!
