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.

New daycare for Jayden

Jayden started at the same daycare OR "school" as Zoe says. Just one drop-off in the mornings....ahhhhh life is good. Jayden is 16 months and really toddeling these days. He can walk across a room or take three steps and fall. I bet he will be a pro by the time Matt' s home this weekend. I love this age!

Zoe's had her week of birthdays last week. Tuesday was Matt's bday, Thursday was Zoe's, Friday was Holly's and Saturday the Zoo Party and Sunday the "family" party. It was a fun filled week for all. Hard to believe she is already 4 years old.

Character

Zoë has become quite the character lately. She loves on the babies at daycare and is staying so many words now. A funny story from her teacher is that Zoë was saying, "Kaa!" Sarah thinks she may have been watching too much Ellen Degeneres with me!

She also loves to dance now. She will turn in circles and stomp her feet, move up and down and giggle her butt. She likes to watch herself dance in the mirror.

She is also into water this summer. She loves playing in any water a pool, hose, sprinkler. Also, we are a big fan of swings, slides, bubble machines and sidewalk chalk.

She is walking so good now. She now knows how to steal the t.v. remote and run off with it.

FINALLY WALKING!

Zoë is finally walking at 15 months. She stands up on her own without holding on to anything and just walks. How amazing is that. I know when will be running so enough.

My favorite story about her learning to walk is when her buddy Jenna took her hand and walk her around the room at daycare. I didn't see it, but I heard it was adorable.

15 months and growing like a weed

So, Zoë is saying so many words I thought I needed to tell you all. Her favorite word right now is hi and bye bye. She loves to say is when anyone walks in or out of the room or when we put on our shoes. She is also now says Ella for her buddy at day care. In addition to her standard mama and dada words she also says, belly button, bubbles, Row row row (for row row row your boat), EI EI O, baby, quack quack, dog, moo, and mine. I know there are a bunch more words, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

We are walking 8 steps at a time and still wobbly, but we are getting there.

First Steps

Well Zoe finally took her first steps last night. Dada got home from Detroit just in time to see all the fun. She did it like 4 times taking 2 to 4 steps each time. Before we know it she will be running.

Not walking yet...

Everyday we are a little closer to walking. I caught her last night standing without holding on and she is getting more independent. She didn't want me to hold her while she took her bed-time bottle. She laid on the floor and drank it all by herself. She only takes one bottle a day now. She is a pro on the sippy cups, which is nice.

She is also a little bully. Last weekend she crawled head down like a bull into Zakk and took his sippy and drank from it.

She is also trying to start saying some words like hi and yup. Everyday is an adventure.

Furniture Crusing

Yes, Zoe is now furniture cruising. She walks around the coffee table and jumps from chair to end table to coffee table. Before you know it she will be walking!
