     We are excited that we get to find out the sex this month. We will find out before Thanksgiving & we will have our own little gender reveal for our family members then we will tell everybody else. I think we are having a boy & Josh keeps saying a girl so we will see! We will be happy either way we just want to know! We are definitely more laid back this time around. We don't have any set names yet. We probably won't for awhile. Josh & I never agree on names so it will be interesting!
     This month is also Zoey's 2nd birthday! I can't believe she is that old. She is obsessed with swimming so we are having an indoor pool party for her this year. We went and checked out the pool and she wanted to jump in so I think she will like it!

18 Months Old

I can't believe my little girl is 18 months old! She changes so much week to week still and I am loving the toddler she is becoming. Here's some of her stats:

• She is 21.6 pounds and about 31 1/2 inches tall. 
• She's in 12-18 month size clothes
• She LOVES to talk. She says so many words. Some of her new ones are shake, waffle, cookie, booty, sissy (either referring to Aunt Meggie or my parent's dog, i don't know which) and shoes.
• She can point out her nose, hair, eyes, ears, mouth, chin, elbow, wrist, fingers, knee, toes, belly button, and booty if you ask her. She can even point them out on Mommy & Daddy too!
• Her hair is just getting curlier. I just love all her ringlets :-)

She's doing awesome in her toddler bed. She probably could have stayed in her crib longer but I am a shorty and she was getting too heavy on my back to lift her up and over the crib. It only took a her a couple days to adjust to it though.
Another big accomplishment- the binky is GONE!! Completely!! Up until a month ago she just had it for naps and at night but our pediatrician told us we needed to just go ahead and get rid of it. Now she just has to have her favorite blankie but I am ok with that!

Day 8 & 9- March Photo Challenge.

I swear I take these on the day I'm supposed to but I've been sick the past couple days & I have a toddler so I haven't gotten around to posting them.

Day 8: Window- Zoey & Rocky wait for Josh to get home from work in the afternoon. It's like they know when he's coming :-)



Day 9: Red- My In-laws got me this watch for Christmas. I love OU and they are avid OSU fans so it meant a lot to me :-)

Day 7- March Photo Challenge

Day 7: Something I wore today- My Zoey necklace from Vintage Pearl. I got this from Josh on my first Mother's Day. It also has a charm that says "I love you to the moon and back."

Day 6 March Photo Challenge

Day 6: 5 PM-We played outside because it was so nice out :-)

March Photo Challenge Day 4 & 5

Day 4: Bedside. I'm not a fan of Stillwater but I love going to Eskimo Joes. We have a lot of their cups. I also have my latest book (Mockingjay), baby monitor, and pictures of the people I love. Also, my brother made me that awesome canvas of Audrey Hepburn :-)

Day 5: Smile :-)

March Photo Challenge Day 1-3

Ok so here is Day 1-3:

Day 1: Up

Day 2: Fruit. I am more of a veggie person so this is how I get my fruit.
Day 3: Neighborhood. This is our neighborhood park.

15 Months

Now that Zoey is a year old I won't be doing the monthly updates. I am going to try to stick with every 3 months then when she hits 2 I will probably just do once a year. Mostly because I get busy and forget! I am already a couple weeks late on her 15 month stats. So here's what she's up to:

• She's 21 pounds and around 30 inches tall
• She's mostly in size 12 month clothing
  
• She is walking all over the place and I love it!
• She still talks all the time and likes to meow whenever she sees the cat.
• She loves bath time. I think we will have to get a pool this summer because once she sees a tub she starts trying to take her clothes off and tries to climb in.
  
• She has 14 teeth and counting! She thinks it's funny to bite Mommy & Daddy and it hurts! If you say ouch she just cracks up and tries to do it again.
  

We just got back home after being away for 5 weeks. Zoey & I had fun with Grandma and G Pop but we are happy to be in our own house with Josh. Zoey loves all her grandparents but she started following her G Pop around the house and would get mad at him if he didn't pick her up. Zoey will miss all the special Grandparent time but we will be back in OK soon enough. We are expecting our niece to be here any day and my best friend will be having her baby boy soon too!

Josh and I just booked our first baby free vacation. I am excited but I don't know how I am going to do away from Zoey. I have never been away from her overnight so it will be interesting! I know she will be in good hands though :-)

A couple blogs I read did the monthly photo challenge. I have decided to do March but we will see how long that lasts! I have the pictures but the camera is in the car so I will try to post the first 5 days tonight.

Walking Girl!

It seems Zoey has finally decided she is ready to walk. Everyday she progresses a little bit towards doing it all the time and without help. Right now, we just set her up and she takes off! She walks on her knees mostly right now but I bet she's full blown walking soon!! I am so happy she finally wanted to. At Zoey's last doctor appt she told us that if Zoe wasn't walking by 15 months she would have to see a specialist. Leave it to Zoey to wait until the last minute because she will be 15 monhs a week from Friday!
Here are some pics we had fun taking! We took them for Josh's Valentine's Day present from Zoey & me. He hasn't seen them all so these are only the ones he has seen! I will post the rest later :-)
