Jayden is talking more and more

Jayden has really started talking more and more lately. He is waving and saying "hi" and "bye bye." He also is signing more and has signed all done for a long time, but is using drink and eat. 18 months is a fun time! He is walking like a rock star, but still unsteady on his feet at times.

I love that he is such a good sleeper. Pretty much 7pm - 7am still. I have to wake him up early for work days about 6:30am. He still gets plenty of rest.

Still doing his breathing treatments. Trying to get over his bronchitis he has the last couple weeks. Antibiotics is all gone, but still sounds congested and yucky.

Hey Dave

When my parents were coming back from Maine this year they visited for one night. Zoe started calling Grampy "hey Dave." She was repeating what my mom says all the time. She actually asked for Grampy to talk on the phone the other day and they said, "hey dave." How can she remember that 4 weeks later? She is so smart!

Wait a second

Zoe is talking up a storm and cracking us up lately. She loves to say..."wait a second," while putting up her hand to you. She is totally into stripes and loves to I spy flags when we are driving. They had a flag week at her school during the 4th and has love to look for them every where. She is still in the....where....where phase too.

It is amazing how much knows already. She is a good helper too. She likes to help me clean up. She will sing her little pick up, pick up song. It's too cute.

But, we are very stubborn! It is all about what she wants. Typical 2 year old.

2:30am Potty Run

On Friday night Zoe woke up at 2:30am. I walked in her room and she said, "Mama, I need to go potty." I took her to the bathroom and she sure enough had to go. We then had a 20 minute conversation. She told me all about the potty, the walls, the door, how she had fun at school, and on and on. She spoke so clearly it was like a light went off and she was no longer a baby, but a little girl. It was hilarious and amazing.

Thank you and Bubbles

Zoë's favorite words now are bubbles and thank you. She loves bubbles. We got a bubble machine and I think Matt likes it just as much as Zoë. The thing takes like 7 batteries and I think they have run down in 2 weeks time.

Also, thank you is another favorite. I just found out the other day it is because she is very sneaking and takes toys up on the climber at daycare. When they take them away they say thank you. So, if you take away a toy she will say thank you. It's kinda cute.

More words

We are starting to say lots of words now. In addition to mama, dada, and uh-oh, we are also saying that, hi, ball, milk (kinda) and signing more, milk, and waving hi and bye all the time. Everyday there is something exciting. She is starting to mimic sounds. Like dogs barking too. It's hilarious.
