One afternoon Ruth and Aimee pulled out a 1,000 pc puzzle that I had in the closet. It was spread out on the kitchen table while they worked on it during the girls nap time. When Zoe woke up, it was still laid out on the table, and she instantly was curious. She spent the next 30 minutes trying to put pieces together. It was a really challenging puzzle, but she didn't get frustrated at all (very surprising given that she is prone to frustration). Anyway, we pulled out a few 25/30 pc puzzles for her and she started putting them together right away. Then a 50 pc puzzle and a puzzle of all the United States. Now, she takes all the puzzles out, dumps all the pieces out together and will put them together as fast as I could. When she's in the mood for more attention, she'll act like she doesn't know where a piece goes or try putting it in the wrong spot and then giggle and tell us she's being "so silly."
Mia is pleased that Zoe is now absorbed in these board puzzles because she has taken a liking for the block puzzles. She is teething like crazy and constantly has something in her mouth. On the food front, she's mostly enjoying her foray in to solid foods. So far, she's had: avocado, oatmeal, millet, brown rice, peas, carrots, squash, prunes, sweet potato, yogurt, and chick peas. She still has the reflux, but it doesn't seem to bother her as much. I'm just doing my laundry all the time because she's constantly puking on me. Nice.
