Happy Two Year Birthday, my little princess ...

(she had her two year check up the day after her b-day and was
31" tall and a little over 22lbs)

Happy ONE HUNDRED Week Birthday, my little princess ...

totally forgot to get a photo "just" for her weekly birthday,

so I cropped down one of our traditional Christmas 

eve "all four kiddos" pics to just show Zoey!

I've decided to end the weekly birthday posts here!

100 weeks old!

what a milestone and how far Zoey has come!

I still can't believe that my little baby is nearly two years

old ... and that she is walking!!!

it's pretty amazing, if you ask me!

she is still behind, overall, but I think that

the progress she has made and all that she does

on her own, "naturally" (just later than average) is really

awesome!

my plan from here on out is to do monthly posts ... so we can still

see her grow and change, but at a more appropriate rate!

the weekly birthday thing began, just by chance, when she was

still in the NICU ... frankly, because each week was

just that much of a milestone to me!

but, now that she's older the physical change will become

less and less obvious - especially on a weekly basis - 

so I feel that monthly will be best ... and some day

she'll still have this amazing book (or volumes, lol) showing

all her progress through photos!!!

Happy Twenty-Three Month Birthday, my little princess ...

twenty-three months old, can you believe she's nearing two ... I can't!!!

some changes are on there way for this little blog too, I 

hope anyone/everyone who has kept up with it has enjoyed

the weekly birthdays!!!

Happy Ninety-Nine Week Birthday, my little princess ...

Zoey wasn't too sure of the big guy!

I managed to get two pics of her on his lap - but she

wouldn't look at me (oh -lol- I just noticed that Santa is pointing at me)

and managed to squirm her way off his knee, so the third

was being held by sissy and I caught her mid blink/turning her head!

oh well - it's still a fun memory of our "breakfast with Santa"!

Happy Ninety-Eight Week Birthday, my little princess ...

 she's giving me a hug!

 looks pretty hilarious - but actually it's the sweetest thing!

Annicka has taught Zoey to do this little pose -

and say "aaaaawwww" at the same time!

although, usually Annicka makes the "aaawwww" sound,

for Zoey it's usually just an open mouth - lol!

still - it's one of the cutest things ever!

 she knows just what cups, sippy cups, straw cups are for ...

and if she finds one, she's all into it - but give her her

own and she'll fight you for her bottle - little stinker!

 here she's putting the cup back where she found it!

(and freaking me out - leaning over the couch like that)

 love the silly "duck" faces!!!  

the boys did this same silly face, too!

 snuggling up to sissy's rear-end ... YIKES!  (lol)

and here she was giving us a laugh, pulling sissy's

shirt up and then proceeding to smack her!!!

Happy Ninety-Seven Week Birthday, my little princess ...

threw a bunch of "new" toys into Zoey's play area the other day!

I came across them while on a mad hunt for a table cloth,

they were toys that Liam (and some even Jericho)

used to play with!  she loves the star stacking toy!!!

Happy Ninety-Six Week Birthday, my little princess ...

ok, so we're a day late ...

here's a few pics of Zoey after our photo shoot

with Nana & Grandaddy and our Christmas card

photo shoot!  she was pictured out, I s'pose -

just wanted to play with leaves and crawl away from me!!
