Bath time happens right after dinner so that the sticky clothes can be peeled off the baby and she is carried (preferably away from the body) and immediately dunked into warm, soapy liquid. Following is a period of fun, discovery and individual one-on-one Zoe and Mommytime.
Tonight, Zoe said "duck" at bath time. This is officially her first word outside of "Mama," "Dada" and "Yia yia." She said it, like, three times so it's not just an anomaly (well...one time it was more like "Der"). Oddly, "duck" was Athena's first word after "Dada" (hmm...interesting). I called Athena and Chris upstairs and tried to get Zoe to say it a fourth time, but it didn't happen. Athena was still thrilled however... "Baby say duck!" 
Athena is so excited by Zoe's milestones. She is Zoe's little cheerleader and always lets us know what Zoe is doing. She's amusingly empathetic when Zoe is fussing and will tell me why Zoe is crying, for instance, "Zoe need milk," "Zoe sleepy" or (when we're in the car) "Mama, Zoe miss home." Apres bath, nothing smells better than a freshly washed baby.

Oh cute. Duck. Is "Ya ya" same as Yia Yia? Because I have a Yia Yia since I have a little bit of greek in me. Go figure with blonde hair and blue eyes.
That is so sweet how Athena gets excited over Zoe's milestones. Best friends for life.
Yes! It IS Yia Yia, I just always spell it wrong! That's my Mom. Athena's and Zoe's Grandma, and a really easy word for baby's to say.
And then there was "Duck!" It is the word that will forever be attached to the first word stories as we plague her teenage years! Can't wait. :D
