Best Moment this week: Zoey calls her baby brother by name. She is so ready for him to be here


I have been really bad about keeping up with this blog this time around. I am even using my 30 weeks picture because I'm too tired (lazy) to get up and take another one. Being pregnant with a toddler is exhausting. We are also in the middle of finding & buying our first home. We probably didn't pick the best time but we need more room for our growing family.
We are looking into starting Zoey in a Mother's Day Out program in a couple weeks. We've been going to church with some friends for awhile now and when we drop her off at the nursery she loves it. When we pick her up she doesn't want to leave. I'm not ready for Mother's Day Out but I think Zoey is. She loves playing with other kids her own age. She is growing up way too fast for me!!

     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 :-)
