This morning, Zoe asked for popcorn. Usually, she signs "popcorn" - but she's picked up a ton of spoken words. Today, she said "Haf popcorn?" She had started to sign it, but spoke it instead.

Then she looked at me sort of surprised, and said, "No hands!"

"You said it without your hands?"

"Yes!"

Then she put her hands out in front of her.

"Hands...no eyes. No nose. No cheeks!"

It took a few hours for me to realize that she was comparing her hands to her mouth (which is in a place that has eyes, and a nose, and cheeks).


A couple of my favorite new Zoe phrases are "Me luff Mama" and "Mommy cool!"

;)
