Oh my goodness, my baby is 23 almost 24 months. Where did the time go and why won't it slow down darn it. My baby is a toddler, no longer a baby, although she will always be Mommy's "baby".
Miss Zoe,
You are so smart. Can I just repeat that statement? You are so smart. Thank goodness it looks like you got your Daddy's brains!! I prayed for that!! Not that your Mommy isn't smart but your Daddy reigns in that department. I don't give him credit very often so Daddy, if you are reading this, you better enjoy it....hahaha, love you honey!
Baby girl - I am in awe everyday, watching you grow, learn and explore. I hope I am doing everything in my power to help guide you to be a loving and sweet baby girl. I'm trying really hard. Your Daddy and I are just simply in love with you little girl. Our hearts feel like they will burst with so much love and admiration for you.
You are hands down the absolute best part of our day and night. What are you doing at 23 months you ask?
-Repeating everything
-Forming 3,4 and sometimes 5 word sentences
-You love to sing and dance
-You amaze me everyday because you remember words from songs, like whole songs
-Your favorite songs right now are Barney (I love you), ABC's, Are you sleeping Brother John, Ring around the rosies, twinkle twinkle little star. You know these songs by heart.
-You can count to 20, this amazes me
-You love to shake your hips, that's my girl!!
-You love your baby dolls. You love to put a diaper on them, burp them, give them a bottle, cover them with the blanket, fix their hair and even rock them.
-Your imagination is truly taking off. I love to hear you having "conversations with your baby dolls"
-You are still sleeping so good although here lately you have been waking up crying for Mama. I am hoping that this is just a stage and not the start of something permanent.
-You love to help in any way. You love putting things in the trash can. You love "helping" Mama sort the laundry. You love, love to "cook". We let you pour water, pancake mix, pizza mix, muffin mix into things and you love it. You love to stir things as well. You are a pretty darn good little helper.
-You love for Mommy to "help you" these days and it melts my heart
-You still want Mommy to hold you all the time and that is perfectly fine with me
-You love the pool. You are our little fish. We love your puddle jumpers, they work so well.
-Your hair is getting so long. You have two cow licks in the back so Mommy is having a hard time figuring out where to part your hair!
-You love to brush your teeth and your babies teeth, so glad for this.
-You really liked the ocean and beach this year. This was your second time at the beach and let's just say, this year's trip was much better than last year.
-You love to help "drive". Thanks to your Aunt Kee Kee who let you "drive" in her lap from the parking lot to our driveway, now you want to "drive" all of the time.
-okay baby girl, you are whining a LOT these days. What is that about and can you get through this stage pretty quickly please?
-You have definitely reached your terrible two's but you know what, I will take the terrible two's any day as long as I get to spend them with you.
We love you so very much baby girl. You are absolutely beautiful on the inside and out and we couldn't be prouder of you. You will be 16 before we know it. I want to savor everyday we have with you. I hope you slow down on your growing just a tad so I can catch my breath!! hee hee
Love,
Daddy and Mommy
