Goebberts 2012!

Dear Zoe, Today was our second annual trip to Goebberts.  This year, one year older, you were very into sliding down the big slide by the giraffes, riding the horses, sitting in the "big chair" and picking out pumpkins.  You were very interested in the animals in the petting zoo, but not when they got too close.  We went with your bud Reecey and her little sister Claire.  Such a fun day!!

My big girl

Dear Zoe, 

Your Daddy and I were commenting this weekend how, just in the past month, your vocabulary and how much you really understand has grown so much.  I can't even count how many words you can say because you are saying more each day.  You repeat EVERYTHING you hear and you speak in (almost) full sentences.  You mimic mom and dad daily and it is so much fun to see your little mind work.  

Just this morning after having daddy home for a long weekend, you asked "Momma, where daddy is?" I told you he was at work and then when we got downstairs you say "Da-ddy, wha ARE chu?  Choo choo!"  Since you know we pick daddy up from the train everyday, you made the connection that he takes it to work - such a smart cookie.  

In just a few short months, you are going to be a big sister.  Somedays I think you are still so little and feel sad that I won't be able to give you my undivided attention like I do now.  And then other times I look at you (like I did today in this picture) and realize that you are turning into SUCH a big girl and you are going to be such a wonderful big sister.  

Zozo's "Packpack" and purse- off to berk with daddy!

xoxo, the mama
