Not quite a year yet!

Only 1 month until Zora's birthday. She's been pretty busy since she started walking. Here's what she's been up to... She went swimming in our backyard with her Elmo sprinkler.
She loves to climb up and down stairs or play with the kitty.
Here she's eating spaghetti! YUM!
This is explains itself and yes the kitten helped!
Here's her 11 month picture with a bruise. She collided with the sidewalk while trying out her new shoes.

Quick Update!

So John's been very very busy this semester with Medical school. He is currently taking 40 credits and he just took his first batch of tests. Zora is running now and boy is she trouble. We have a lot of fun with her, though! She has a lot of personality and is such a tease. She likes to imitate me by shaking her head when I tell her "no" and waving her finger at me. She is also best buds with our kitten which is way too patient to put up with her. Just today, Zora steamrolled our kitten and the cat just laid there without fussing. They get in a lot of mischielf together, but they sure entertain one another. Zora started off by saying several words, but now the only word that she consistenly says is "key" for kitty. She gets away with a lot more than she should. Her Daddy is a sucker for her. But she loves her Daddy. I don't exist when John's in the room.
The latest news for those who don't know is that I'm expecting again. I'm almost 10 weeks along and we can't wait to find out the gender. John's pretty sure it's a boy. I hope Zora gets a little sister to play with. For a while I was dealing with some pretty miseralbe migraines that wouldn't go away. After a week and a half of not being able to do anything because of the pain, I finally got in to see my doctor (a D.O.-what John is studying) and she did some manipulations on my back and neck and and I was cured. I haven't had a migraine since and I didn't even have to take any medicine. That was a great blessing because it's a lot harder to deal with not feeling well with an active daughter. Zora was so neglected for those few days but we all survived and feeling great now.
For Labor day we went to Ellensbury for our first Rodeo. John and I enjoyed the cow milking competition. I plan to put the video on soon. Then on Saturday, we met Larry D, Dad, and Michelle in Seattle for the BYU vs. Washington game. What a game! That was lots of fun!
