  • Update on The Zoe and Easter Photos

    So I feel like right after I wrote that last post to my baby about giving me heartburn and constipation it actually listened to me. It was like literally a day or 2 after. I just went back to normal. GOOD BABY!!! MOMMY LOVES YOU!

    Zoe’s Daily Funny:
    So a while back I told Zoe how to spell her name. Of course she was like 15months old and wasn’t listening to me. So last month I went to pick her up at school and she pointed to her nametag on her bin and asked me…

    Zoe: Umma wus dat?
    Me: Zoe, that’s your name. Z-O-E spells Zoe.
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Zoe.
    Me: Good job Zoe!

    Then she pointed to the bin next to hers and said…
    Zoe: Umma wus dat?
    Me: That’s Jonah’s bin.
    Zoe: Spell it.
    Me: J-O-N-A-H spells Jonah.
    Zoe: I wanna do it!
    Me: Ok so do it.
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Jonah!
    Me: Um…okay good job

    This past saturday we went to visit baby Oliver and his parents, Uncle Vaish and Aunt Carmen in BasysiEED (It’s really Bayside but I’m trying to say it like the idiots that say WestsiEED so technically that makes me an idiot). I told Vaish that Zoe was a genius and I told him to check it, check it out…

    Me: Zoe, how do you spell Zoe?
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Zoe
    Uncle Vaish looked highly impressed. I told him we weren’t done.
    Me: Zoe, how do you spell Uncle Vaish?
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Uncle Vaish
    Me: Zoe, how do you spell daddy?
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells daddy.
    Vaish is like cracking up and so is the hubs because he had no idea that Zoe spelled everything with HER NAME.
    Me: Zoe how do you spell Aunt Carmen
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Aunt Carment (she adds a “T” to the name. Don’t ask)
    Me: Zoe how do you spell Oliver?
    Zoe: Z-O-E spells Oliver

    The whole time I’m quizzing her she’s not even looking at me. She’s just running around playing while answering my spelling quiz. So for you fools who don’t know how to spell, just ask Zoe. Dude. SHE A GENIUS.

    The Many Sides of Her Majesty
    So Zoe is like the sunshine in our cloudy day. I mean the girl can piss us off pretty bad. There have been a handful of times where I’ve just HAD IT with her and while we’re showering together I’ll cry because she can’t tell the difference between my tears and shower water. Hahaha. And then she’ll do something to make me laugh while we’re washing, and then just like that I’ll have forgiven her for stressing me to no end. And there are so many moments of sweetness. At night while she’s drinking her milk and lying in her sleep position she sometimes has to hold my finger while she falls asleep and if I pull away too soon she’ll grab it tightly.  When she used to cry at school in the morning I would come pick her up at the end of the day and she would tell me that she cried. I’d say “Why did you cry Zoe?” and she would answer back “I don’t know.” So I would say “Zoe you don’t have to cry because what?” and she would then say ” Because mommmy always come back and pick up Zoe.” I think that eventually that was what reassured her that it was ok to be at school because she knew at the end of the day I’d be there.

    3rd Wheel
    Not me. Her dad. He’s the 3rd wheel. Like seriously. She makes him seem that way.
    Last saturday I woke up first and I turned on the tv while laying in bed for my 2 sleepy heads to wake up. Then the hubs wakes up next and rolls over to the foot of the bed so that we can lay together. Next we hear movement behind him and he turns to see that she had crawled up to him. So HE invited HER to lay between us. So now I’m spooning her and he’s facing her and she puts her foot on his belly and says “Ahpah go over there” and she points to where he was sleeping. He said no. She goes “Go away!” SOOOOO RUDE LITTLE GIRL! It’s like it can only be team mommy and Zoe and nobody else. *sigh* Which reminds me to show you a list of the wonderful pleasantries that comes out of her wonderful pouty mouth:

    Don’t touch me.
    Go away.
    Don’t do that.
    Don’t copy me.
    Be nice.
    Give it to me.
    Excuse me (but not the nice one, the stuck up one)

    Ah Zoe. Why you such a punk?
    Yesterday she got in trouble from me and she started to cry while asking for her daddy. I was surprised but pleased because she had this need for him when she was in trouble.

  • Hi – I LOVE the pinwheels and have been looking for directions for making them for my son’s 1st bday.  Can you share how you made those?  And where you got the supplies?  Thanks!

  • lol… the last picture! Brady has done that for about a year now.. no baby.. and now that i decided I’m finally over the idea.. he stops doing it. Ok, maybe he stopped doing it before then, but he did it so much I was like.. OK.. I get the point! ^_^ Miss you! Hope you’re doing well Mama Preggers!

  • you had me cracking up in the car when i read this zoe is too cute and the way you describe her is priceless

  • Zoe cracks me up.  Your poor husband, though . . . I’m glad he’s taking it in stride.  He’ll have his day when she’s old enough to date.  

  • Zoe sounds like a character. :) Very cute, though. 

  • zoe is so cute in her easter dress! 

  • 1.  did your hubs have to take off his (pink) shirt so zoe could wear it as a smock?
    2.  is her hair (on easter sunday) a side ponytail? way cute.
    3. request: can you write in bigger font? i get a headache after i read your posts. =P

  • Ah, so THAT’S how you spell Jonah’s name!  Tell her we’ve been doing it wrong all this time :)

  • lol..poor hubs…just remind him that she’ll eventually be a daddy’s girl..hehehe…btw, love how your living room’s so clean…

  • those pinwheels and shredded wheat nests are so cute! so no mess with the eggs? that’s impressive! :)

  • zoe is so cute.  a baby on the way???

  • i love how zoe is a spelling genius. cute pinwheels, pretty cupcakes, and i love the birdnests.

  • @injeannieous - oh she knows. get it straight jeenie!

  • @nabigoyangi - when is your son’s first birthday?

  • @elleykim - 

    1.  did your hubs have to take off his (pink) shirt so zoe could wear it as a smock? it’s an old shirt that he didn’t wear anymore. they make great smocks
    2.  is her hair (on easter sunday) a side ponytail? way cute. It was a centered ponytail that went lopsided.
    3. request: can you write in bigger font? i get a headache after i read your posts. =P  hahaha no i can’t i like it small.

  • Love the shredded wheat nests. Gotta keep that saved in my favorites!

    Re: Last picture caption – Are you having #2?

  • love the pinwheels and the shredded wheat nests!! super cute!!!!!

  • June 30.  I haven’t been able to find good instructions that doesn’t involve something that’s dangerous for babies.  Martha Stewart says to stick a thumb tack through the pinwheel onto a wooden clothespin.  It looks like conceptually, it involves a dowel, a bead or two and a paperclip or other wire?  Did you glue two pieces of different patterned paper together?  Thnx!

  • wow, she’s so big now.  What a speller.  you should ask her things like, how do you spell perfection?  Z-O-E.  How do you spell queen of this hiz-house?  Z-O-E

    it’s ok to cry.  (that’s to you in the shower and not Z-O-E who is running things now)

    is it just me or does that one picture of the kids in the mirror look like they’re in an interrogation room.

  • @neglected_middle_child - that’s not a mirror. it’s a window on a door.

  • the shredded wheat nests are so cute!!!

  • @nabigoyangi - i’ll try to post a how to this weekend ok?

  • @nabigoyangi - HEY I’m sooo sorry. do you still want instructions?
