TWO-day Is a Special Day!!!

Baby girl turned two today! Wow! I can't believe how fast it has flown by! We really miss this... But the stage that she is in is REALLY FUN! She started her birthday out giving ME a gift by sleeping the best she ever has in her whole life! It was amazing! She woke up with a cold in her eye. Poor girl! Her eye was almost crusted shut! But once I wiped it off she was fine.We let her pick where she wanted to go for lunch and of course she picked McD's! Every kid loves that place... We really love it too! (SARCASM...) She actually went all the way up all by herself and came down the slide for the first time. She's always been a little scared of going in the tunnels. But of course I missed it and when I tried to get her to do it again she refused! We then took her to the store to pick out a toy. Of all the toys she picked a hula hoop! Funny girl! And of course a Spongebob balloon... we can't ever leave a store without him!After lunch and the toy store we went home. Zoey watched a little Spongebob and had a good nap. She woke up feeling a little warm so I took her temperature. It was normal though. Here's Zoey taking her own temp. She loves to play with it cuz it beeps. I always ask her if she's sick or normal. She always says "no-mul". She's such a cute girl!This picture was honestly taken one minute later. She suddenly started crying and screaming. I had to work for a little bit and she stayed with Nick. He said she cried off and on the entire time. She is NOT feeling well! It sucks she's sick on her birthday! In fact she was asleep in bed before 7:00 and that is SO unlike her! She's a night owl and almost never goes to bed before 9:30. Poor girl! She didn't even eat dinner or open her presents!

A couple facts about Zoey on her second birthday:

- She is SMART!! She repeats anything you say (which means we have to be careful sometimes!). She is starting to learn her numbers and alphabet.

- She loves to sing songs. It's so cute! The other day in the car she suddenly started singing "I a chiwd of dod..." (Child of God). Adorable!

- She has finally started gaining some weight. Her doctor appointment is tomorrow so I'll have her stats then.

- She is still a momma's girl. Especially when she's tired or sick. She wants her mama.

- She loves to play with her daddy. Nobody can make her squeal and laugh like him. It's so cute.

- I haven't really pushed the potty training issue with her. She tells me when she goes and has gone several times in the toilet but I'm kind of letting her go at her own pace.

- She still LOVES her bottle. It's the only thing she's ever been attached to and I feel bad taking it away. I don't think either one of us is ready for that yet!


Zoey,

You are the most perfect little girl we could have ever asked for. Your daddy and I always ask each other "what did we do before you?" You are our whole world and we can't imagine life without you. You bring a special spirit into our home and we love you so much! We love your adorable little personality and can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Happy Birthday Zoey-boey! We love you so much sweet girl!

Love, Mommy and Daddy
