Toot Toot!

The title of this blog is the sound of my own horn. :) this is a friendly disclosure that I will be bragging of my smart, youngest daughter and how amazing she is! And obviously wouldn't be there without her mom and dad ;)

Yesterday, Monday, Zoey J had her 2 year wellness checkup. As I said in a prior post, it was delayed due to her pediatrician having a baby. So we went in, did the usual measuring/weighing/form filling an so on. She weighs a whopping 26lbs and 4 oz. and stands at 34" tall. Her weight is in the 32nd percentile, and weight checking in at around average of 51st percentile. Not too shabby!

Now to the obnoxious, bragging part. Haha. As Dr.Brighman came in, she asked how we were, any concerns, the usual. I explained my concern for her small development of excema and she gave a remedy. We than moved on to showing how smart Zoey J is. She said her shapes as I drew them (circle, square, triangle, heart, star, octagon, diamond, cone and cylinder). Than was colors (red, blue, green, yellow and pink). Never seizing to amaze, we moved to counting to 12 and counting down from 3. Next, yes there's more, she said her abc's (only knowing a,b,c,d, and mumbling to z and sing with me). And for the first time, she showed off and said she had to go potty, yippee! So Dr.Brighman was so ecstatic of her potty training also. Her motor skills are phenomenal and he will be attending a preschool soon once we find the right one!

Our appointment ended with 2 shots and some tears. :( but shorty followed by a pb&j and chocolate chip cookie! As well as a surprise date with her BFF, Paisley! All in all, it wasn't too bad!

Again, I am not usually this boastful, but I'm so proud of how smart our girl is. I can't wait to see how much more she learns!

Zoo Time

By the name of the title you can safely assume we made a trip to the zoo! We went Sunday morning right when it opened and it was perfect! The weather was warm enough for a light jacket, and a sprinkle of rain here and there, but I thought it was perfect weather! And so did the animals. :) all the animals were out and about and ready to greet us!

Zoey J did so good! She didn't have a stroller, and stayed with us the whole time without holding hands! For a 2 year and 3 month old, I'm bragging. :) she was fascinated with the large elephants, tall giraffes, playful cougars, "cuddly" bears, and everything else in store! She's a true animal lover like her momma and was so sad when she realized she couldn't pet them!

I'm always still so proud of my little love muffin, and she never fails to blow my mind with her continuing knowledge,and ever expanding heart.

Here's til next time!
