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.

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.
