31 MONTHS OLD

ZOEE IS 31 MONTHS OLD!!

OMGOSH...IT IS AS IF ZOEE HAS GROWN UP OVERNIGHT. SHE HAS GOTTEN SO MUCH TALLER AND BIGGER. SHE WEIGHS 37 LBS. NOW AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET HER HEIGHT. WE HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO THE DOCTOR IN A LONG TIME, AND I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET HER IN FOR HER FLU SHOT VERY SOON. SHE'S A BIG BALL OF ENERGY THESE DAYS AND LIKES TO GO OUT OF THE HOUSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. NOT SURE HOW THAT IS GOING TO FARE WITH THE WINTER MONTHS APPROACHING SO FAST. SHE IS TALKING UP A STORM AND EVERY WHERE WE GO PEOPLE ASK ME HOW OLD SHE IS AND TELL ME HOW SMART SHE IS. SHE'S VERY SOCIAL..SOMETIMES TOO SOCIAL..HA HA! SHE WILL BE THREE BEFORE WE KNOW IT. THIS YEAR HAS FLOWN BY AND WHEN I LOOK BACK AT PICTURES I GET SAD..CAUSE SHE IS GROWING SO FAST. WELL, I THOUGHT I HAD HER ALMOST POTTY TRAINED..BUT SHE HAD REVERTED BACK FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NOW WE ARE STARTING TO GET BACK ON BOARD AGAIN. SHE HAS NO PROBLEM WITH GOING TO THE POTTY AND DOING HER BUSINESS (BOTH BUSINESSES) BUT LATELY HAS JUST BECOME LAZY WHEN SHE IS PLAYING AND FORGETTING TO TELL ME SHE NEEDS TO GO POTTY SO THEREFORE HAS ACCIDENTS. SHE IS GOING TO BE STARTING DANCE SOON SO WE NEED TO GET HER FULLY POTTY TRAINED BEFORE THAT. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT, I GUESS. SHE LOVES TO SING NOWADAYS AND HAS THE SWEETEST LIL' VOICE. SHE STILL LOVES TO READ HER BOOKS. GRAMMY BRINGS HER A BOOK OR TWO EVERY TIME SHE COMES AND SEES HER..WHICH IS USUALLY AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. LOL WE'VE HAD TO BUY HER A WHOLE NEW FALL/WINTER WARDROBE BECAUSE SHE HAS OUTGROWN EVERYTHING. SHE DOESN'T LIKE ANYTHING TO BE TIGHT ON HER BELLY WHICH MEANS WE USUALLY HAVE TO GET A BIGGER SIZE IN EVERYTHING. SHE IS WEARING A 4-5T NOW. THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING UP AND WE ARE ALL GETTING EXCITED. WE WILL BE GOING TO FIDDLESTICKS FARM NEXT MONTH, GETTING OUR FAMILY PICTURES TAKEN, THIS MONTH IS HALLOWEEN. SHE IS GOING TO BE SNOW WHITE. HER FAIR SKIN, DARK HAIR, AND PRINCESS-LIKE ATTRIBUTES MAKE IT A PERFECT COSTUME FOR HER. SHE IS VERY GIRLY BUT CAN BE ROUGH AND TOUGH, AS WELL. SHE CRACKS US UP ALL DAY LONG BECAUSE SHE IS EXTREMELY ANIMATED . HER FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE PRICELESS! HER FAVORITE SHOWS ARE STILL MICKEY MOUSE CLUBHOUSE AND SHE HAS RECENTLY STARTED REALLY LIKING LITTLE EINSTEINS AND LOVES TO SING THEIR THEME SONG. I'LL HAVE TO CATCH IT ON VIDEO ONE OF THESE DAYS. SHE LOVES TRAINS, MICKEY & MINNIE MOUSE, CARRIES HER BARBIES AROUND MOST OF THE DAY, READS, AND HER FAVORITE SAYING RIGHT NOW IS "YOU KIDDING ME" AND "YOU JOKING ME, MOM OR DAD" SHE CAN COUNT TO 12. SHE HAS BEEN TRYING TO LEARN HER ABC'S AND SHE MIXES UP THE ABC SONG AND TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR. WHEN SHE DOES SAY HER ABC'S..IT'S SO CUTE..I'LL HAVE TO RECORD THAT, TOO! HER LEGS SEEM TO BE STRAIGTHENING OUT A LITTLE BIT...BUT HER FEET STILL TURN IN QUITE A BIT ESPECIALLY DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF SHOES SHE HAS ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, SHE'S HEALTHY AND VERY HAPPY! SHE HAS A TON OF FRIENDS NOW THAT I'VE BEEN IN THAT MOMMY GROUP FOR OVER A YEAR. BOTH HER AND I HAVE MADE MANY GREAT FRIENDS THROUGH IT AND BECAUSE I'M THE EVENT MANAGER FOR OUR COUNTY, WE GO AND DO QUITE A BIT OF PLAY DATES AND EVENTS. TRY TO STAY ACTIVE SO SHE CAN GET THAT SOCIAL INTERACTION THAT SHE CRAVES. WATCHING HER INTERACT IS SO FUN AND WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL JOY IN OUR LIFE! NOW, WE'RE WORKING ON ADDING ANOTHER BUNDLE TO OUR FAMILY CAUSE ZOEE NEEDS A PLAY MATE OR SISTER/BROTHER TO GROW UP WITH!
