Zoe has reached the age where she’s constantly saying funny and entertaining things. I don’t always post about them, but I thought it would be fun to include a round-up of recent comments that have made me and Q smile, laugh and/or look at one another and ask, “did she really just say that?”

Me, after pointing out dogs’ tails in one of her books: “Where’s your tail, Zoe?”
Z: “No have tail!”

Me, handing Zoe her reheated milk: “Here you go.”
Z, after taking a sip: “Much better, Mommy.”

Me: “Do you want to do a puzzle, Zoe?”
Z: “No. I’m busy.”

Me, about to start my nightly ritual of singing “99 Bottles of Beer” to her: “Good night, Zoe.”
Z to the doll lying in bed next to her: “You lay here, Baby. Mommy’s going to sing ‘beer’ to us.”

Me, after arriving home from Elena’s with her: “There’s your panda, Zoe.”
Z, grabbing and hugging her stuffed panda: “Panda! I missed you!”

Me: “I like you.”
Z, smiling: “Thank you.”

In a post below, Q’s mom commented how grown up Zoe looks. (“Where is Baby Zoe?” she asked.) I know how she feels! I often come across pictures of Zoe where I can’t help but think how old she looks; below is one such photo. Talk about looking like a (sniff, sniff) little girl!
