For Christmas and her birthday Zoe received a gift certificate and a membership to the Please Touch Museum. We weren't sure how many exhibits there would be accessible to her at such a young age, but this Sunday we decided to check it out. Thank goodness we did because it is a remarkable place with lots of stuff for her to do and, more importantly, lots of enclosed, safe space for her to crawl around in. Take a look at some of the pictures.
First up was the splash pool. It was a little too tall for her to really reach the water, but that's probably not the worst thing. Now, you can see her here holding a red boat, but that was short lived. Every time she grabbed something new, a boat, a duck, whatever, she passed it off to the child closest to her. While we are thrilled that Zoe shares so well, I think this concept was somewhat foreign to the other kids as they just looked at her funny.
There were a lot of slides throughout the museum. She loved all of them equally but for different reasons. She also did a lot of standing and walking. There were a lot of places where she just grabbed onto my hand and followed along with me until something shiny caught her attention.
In storybook land, there were a lot of things she liked, but none more than this ship, which would rock up and down. This was also the only place where her sharing wasn't very good, as she stole another baby's pacifier. There are more pictures in Zoe's set on Flickr. Be sure to check them out.
After we returned home and Zoe had her second nap, we took her out back where I finally set up her little cottage. She immediately fell in love with it, as you can see here.
However, my favorite sequence of shots has to be the answering of the cottage phone. You can't tell me that this isn't awesome.
Again, there are more pictures that you can see on Flickr. I have a number of old pictures I need to scan. Once I do, I'll post them here so you can see just where Zoe get's her good looks.
