You are changing so much every single day! Since the last post, you went to the beach! You were a little freaked out by the sand and waves the first night, however, you did just get off of your first airplane ride and were extremely tired! The next morning you fell right into place, and soon began to love the "beach experience" with your cousins. You bonded quickly with your cousins, specifically Ella and Lily. You followed Ella everywhere!!! It was a great time to spend with your momma's family, and we made some great memories of your first beach trip and flying experience. You were a champ on the airplane ride, and were quite the "ham" towards the other passengers. One thing that we will always remember about this was that when we took off our seat belts to get off the plane, you waved by to EVERY SINGLE PERSON we passed! You said "Bye, Bye" to everyone. Then, the pilot gave you his special Gold Wings, not the plastic ones that they usually give out! Mom and dad thought that was pretty cool! We were proud of you, but so ready to relax when we arrived. The week went great, and we saw several new milestones while we were there.
- You LOVE watermelon! You will choose to eat it and most fruits over anything else!
- You learned everyone's name and could point to them when we asked you. (This just showed us that you are beginning to recognize and understand more and more each day!)
- You are not scared! You are too "brave" for your own good when it came to the ocean and pool. You would jump right off or at least try to!
-You like to take things and "hide" them or get someone to chase you down.
-You don't like it when you aren't getting attention! You just get louder or start fake laughing, or whining, or something to get the attention back on you.
Here is what you have been doing lately, since we have been back from the beach:
-You love play dates. You are warming up to the splash park, but really would rather chase kids down to play with their toys.
-You LOVE slides and start clapping when you see one.
-You are coming into a "picky eater" phase which is making momma crazy sometimes! You are very inconsistent, and will eat everything one day, and only fruit or veggies the next. I never know!
-You have learned how to smile "on- demand". It's a rather funny CHEESE face where you scrunch your sweet chubby cheeks and nose.
-You are attached to me! (Mommy) Because I have been home for the summer, you are by my side all the time. And if I am not paying attention to you, you say " Momma, mommmmy, mommmmaaa, mom, mommma" as you huff and puff and pull at my leg. As much as it sometimes makes me crazy, I love it! I love that you KNOW me and want me to give you attention. :)
-You still like being outside, all the time. And, we know you love dirt.
-You have started showing signs of being ready to potty train, so we are on the first stages of that. You already point at your diaper sometimes, or tug when you need to go, or go potty. You flush the toilet and say "bye", and the other day you got out of the pool and went and sat on a chair and pee'd. :) ( You also hand me toilet paper if you are in the bathroom with me!)
-You sing a lot, and have just recently began to love watching animated things or songs on the iPhone. You aren't really into games yet, but you like this animal app that says the name and picture and sound of animals. Other than that it is nursery rhymes and songs that you watch.
-You are growing so tall that we are starting the "official" height door that we are going to use to measure your growth. We will put the younger measurements on there too.
-You are about 24-25 pounds still.
-You might be starting some "terrible two" actions with the sudden fits and whining... but i just keep telling myself your sweetness far outweighs the fit throwing... so far! ;) Just kidding!
-And finally, you still adore your pap-pap! But, we try to cut it down to mostly car rides and sleepy times! (Try is the key word!)
Zoe, You still bring so much happiness to our family. You are a little sassy thing, with such a love for people already! You are always happy to play in nursery, or with others. (And we are learning "how" to play each day!) We are still very thankful to be your parents, and can't wait to continue to see you grow! It's a little sad to watch you change each day, but it also makes me excited to see how much your surroundings affect your growth! We are doing our best to be mindful of that! We love you punkin!
Here are some pics! No specific order...
Your first flight... and you fell asleep.
