ON THE SLIDE

ZOEY GOT TO SPEND A WONDERFUL DAY WITH HER PAPA. SHE KEEPS ASKING ABOUT HIM, SO WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER TRIP. SHE KEEPS SAYING TICK TOCK AND COO COO!

MY LITTLE PRINCESS

SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE THE LAST UPDATED PICTURES. HERE ARE SOME NEW ONES. I CAN'T BELIEVE ZOEY IS 18 MONTHS OLD. WE WILL BE MAKING THAT 18 MONTH VISIT TO THE DR. SOON, SO WE WILL HAVE NEW STATS.

ZOEY CAN SAY SO MANY WORDS NOW, I CAN'T COUNT THEM.

SHE HAS EVEN SAID SOME SENTENCES, WHICH JUST AMAZES ME.

HOW CAN SHE KNOW TO PUT ALL THOSE WORDS TOGETHER?

SHE TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY "I DO IT MOMMY" AND "I BE BACK" HER NEW FAVORITE WORD IS SORRY. IT IS SO CUTE.
SHE HAS BECOME A PICKY EATER EXCEPT WHEN SHE SEES YOU EATING SOMETHING. THEN SHE WANTS IT. SHE STILL LOVES HER BANANAS AND YOGURT THOUGH.

SHE HAS BEEN TRYING VERY HARD TO DRESS HERSELF. SHE WANTS TO PICK HER CLOTHES AND HER SHOES AND SHE WANTS TO PUT THEM ALL ON HERSELF. IT IS HILARIOUS TO SEE HER TRY TO PUT ON HER SOCKS. SHE GETS SOOOOO MAD. BUT, SHE CAN SUCCESSFULLY PUT ON HER SHOES. NOT ALWAYS THE RIGHT FEET:)

ZOEY LOVES PLAYING AT THE PARK IN THE NICE WEATHER. HER

FAVORITE THING IS THE SLIDE. SHE WILL GO DOWN IT 20

TIMES IN A ROW IF I LET HER.

HER POTTY TRAINING IS GOING SO WELL. WE HAVE MOVED UP TO BIG GIRL DORA UNDERWEAR!!! SHE SLEEPS IN A DIAPER OR PULL UP, BUT ALL DAY SHE IS IN HER UNDIES. SHE STILL HAS A FEW ACCIDENTS, BUT SHE IS TRYING SO HARD.

SHE ALSO LOVES BATH TIME. SHE WOULD TAKE 8 BATHS A DAY IF SHE COULD. EVERY TIME WE GO TO USE THE POTTY, SHE SAYS "BATH" . SHE GETS SO EXCITED WHEN I TELL HER ITS BEDTIME, BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE GETS A BATH FIRST!

Parrot talking

Zoey is talking like a parrot. She likes to repeat everything you say. I mean everything. It is time for mommy and daddy to really watch what they are saying. Her vocabulary is improving every day. She has learned to say love you, which makes my heart melt every time I hear it. She has also been putting 2 and 3 words together. She is also very into holding my hand. She holds it while we walk to the car, and in the store. She really likes to help. She wants to help mommy do dishes and help daddy on the computer.

Potty news-She has had a few days of going backwards, but she is back to using the potty. She is going several times a day. Sunday I only had to put a diaper on her for her nap. She even used the potty at Lowes this weekend.

I can't wait for spring. Zoey has been having fun playing outside on these nice days. She has fun playing ball with Pepsi.


Some good news.... My sister bought a house!!! congrats Michelle and John. Only a few more days until it is yours. I glad you will be close again. Zoey misses Tristen and Caden.

I will post some pics when I can use my other computer.

Potty news

We have had three nights in a row with pee on the potty!!! Zoey really hates to be in her wet diapers now, and wants to be changed as soon as she goes. We have had many attempts at the potty, but I think she is starting to catch on. Thank goodness for all the help at the sitters, and Emma for showing her how big girls do it. Hopefully the good potty news keeps up.

CHRISTMAS 2008

ZOEY IS BEGINNING TO USE HER POTTY. SHE THINKS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO READ WHILE USING IT.

TRYING ORANGES. SHE'S NOT SO SURE ABOUT THESE THINGS.

OUR LITTLE GIRL WITH HER TEDDY

ZOEY AND TEDDY

OUR FAMILY

WE HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR. I HAVE TO SAY CHRISTMAS IS MORE FUN WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD. IT SEEMS TO BRING BACK SOME OF THE 'MAGIC' OF CHRISTMAS. ZOEY ENJOYED OPENING GIFTS AND PASSING THEM OUT TO EVERYONE. BUT, SHE SURE DID GET TIRED QUICK. ALL OF IT WAS SO OVERWHELMING FOR HER, BUT SHE DID GOOD. SHE WOULDN'T GO TO BED SO SANTA COULD COME THOUGH. IT WAS A LATE NIGHT. THANKS TO ALL FOR HER WONDERFUL GIFTS. SHE LOVES THEM.

AS SOME OF YOU KNOW, ZOEY HAS BEEN USING HER POTTY OCCASIONALLY. SOMETIMES WE MISS AND GET THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE POTTY, OR SHE FORGETS TO TELL MOMMY. SHE IS LEARNING FAST. SHE HAS A LOVE FOR BOOKS. SHE COULD READ THE SAME 3 OF THEM 25 TIMES A DAY AND NEVER GET TIRED OF THEM. SHE EVEN HAS STARTED TO READ ALONG AT CERTAIN PARTS. WHEN THE CHICKENS CLUCK, OR CHEEP CHEEP, OR WHEN IT IS TIME FOR THE DOG. SHE THINKS IT IS FUNNY TO QUACK. SHE HAS ALSO STARTED REPEATING US. WHEN MOMMY AND DADDY LAUGH, SHE LAUGHS A FUNNY LAUGH AND COVERS HER MOUTH WITH HER HAND. IT IS VERY CUTE.

ZOEY HAS ALSO LEARNED TO WHINE WHEN EVER SHE WANTS SOMETHING. SO WE ARE WORKING VERY HARD AT PLEASE (WHICH SOUNDS LIKE PEES) AND ASKING FOR THINGS THAT SHE WANTS. LIKE CUPS AND FISH (SHE LOVES HER GOLDFISH)

THIS MONTHS STATS AT THE DOCTOR- HEIGHT=30 IN -UP 3 INCHES IN 3 MONTHS-WE HAVE NOW HIT THE 50%.

WEIGHT=19# 9 OZ-NOT EVEN A POUND IN 3 MONTHS-STILL THE 9%-YOU WOULD THINK WE NEVER FEED HER

HER VOCABULARY IS CHANGING EVERY DAY. SHE IS SAYING NEW WORDS LIKE THEY ARE NOTHING. SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW SHE KNOWS WHAT A WORD MEANS. HER FAVORITE THIS WEEKEND WAS UH-OH. WHEN EVER SOMETHING DROPPED-SHE SAID IT.
