Zoe, here are the things that you are up to, the updates, the milestones, and all in between:
-You are beginning to lose your baby chubs... this makes momma sad. :(
-You are SOOOOOO active and walking/running all over the place! (part of why you are slimming up.)
-You LOVE to dance. We turn on music and you begin to shake your booty and nod your head. ( I think you have daddy's looks, but you definitely have momma's rhythm!)
-You are about 24 or 25 pounds, and are getting really tall! You still have little cute feet. You are currently wearing size 18 month clothing, some 12-18 fits, and occasionally a size 24 months will fit.
-Here is what you are eating these days: green beans, black beans, french fries, chicken, crackers, cheese, olives, some baby food, fruit/veggie smoothies/pouches, yogurt, cheese bread, pizza, cuties, cantaloupe, bananas.... but these vary because one day you love it, the next you don't!? We are going through the transition of trying new "big girl food", so it's been interesting! :)
-You drink milk, but we are currently trying out lactose free at the moment.
-You SOB if you have to quit playing outside... you absolutely love being out. You love climbing jungle gyms, sliding, and swinging. We have several parks around the house that we go to often, and we take many walks/rides with your new red wagon on the trails around the house.
-Here are the "words" you say and use correctly: "momma", "daddy", "dog"(daaahh), "up/down" (up/daa), "open/close" (ohh/cuh), "yes" (big nod and "eeh"), "dinosaur" (danahhh)... There are many other things you go around saying, but we haven't figured them out yet! :) Oh, and "pap-pap" which us your pacifier.
-You are learning more about following directions or tasks. We will say things like, "Go get baby doll and take her to daddy", and you will. You do things like this often, which helps us know that you are understanding us more these days.
-You discovered how to jump in your crib... jump and jump and JUMP!
-You are great with strangers, although you still cling to me lately. You don't usually get upset or throw a fit when we leave you in church daycare or the daycare at the gym. You enjoy playing with the other kids.
-You still have an "outtie" belly button. ;)
-You give the best kisses, and lots of hugs. You blow kisses well, too.
-You are getting long hair, and it's still got some curl to it.
-You giggle and laugh a lot, but you are also extra fussy when you don't get your way... Phew, I think I am safe to say that you have a little "drama queen" in ya! We will work on this! :)
-You want to do things yourself, and drink out of cups like us, use forks like us, etc. I also think you are very independent. ( again, I think you got this from me!)
-You take everything out of drawers, too. EVERYTHING! :) Shockingly, you sometimes put it all back... sometimes! :)
-You are in a big girl car seat now, and love the new views!
Zoe,
Since you turned One a lot has happened.Your daddy got a new job as the worship leader at Keypoint Church, which has allowed us to go to a lot of events and meet new friends. You have been staying with mommy since school is out, and we are on the go and having lots of play dates. You will be going to your first Beach Trip next week, and you will be flying for your first time! You are still the most wonderful person to hang out with, and I am loving summer days with you. I was sitting with you today as we were having our "dinner picnic on the floor" since daddy was working late. I looked at you as we were laughing and "playing" and thanked God for giving you to us. We are learning each day, and are doing the best we can to help you grow into your own little personality! We love you! The next post will be about our first beach vacation as a family! I can't wait! We love you punkin!
