Soaking up all I can

Im writing this post because It's a lot harder coming to terms that my little girl is turning 2 tomorrow than I expected. This 2nd year went faster than the first. Just in these past few months my little Zoey has blossomed into her personality. She does the cutest and funniest things. She is the perfect amount of sweet and sass. She is my daily dose of happiness and laughter. My goodness does she make us laugh. Somedays I wonder where she picked up on such humor. For example the other evening when we were driving to Kevin's birthday dinner I asked if she wanted to play this puzzle game she likes on the iPad. Zoey replied "ya, good idea mom." Like she was 13.

And this last Sunday at church she was playing another one of her favorite iPad games called 'doodle buddy'. It's a game where you stamp pictures and for reasons unknown she really likes the "poop" stamp. (I'm still curious why they even have that stamp as an option). It makes a fart noise every time you stamp it and she thinks its funny. I know exactly who she got that from...daddy! Anyways, during the closing prayer as soon as it gets completely quiet zoey yells, "I want the poops, I want the poops." Greg and I couldn't help but start laughing. It was hilarious. 

Two of my favorite things she does right now are one when she plays hide-n-seek and two when she counts. When she plays hide and seek she'll cover her face and yell to us, "do you see a zoey right there?!?!" When she finally pops her head out she says "keek-a-boo" and laughs hysterically. When she counts it goes something like this, "one, free, six, eight, nine, twelve, six, nine, SEVEN." Probably the cutest thing ever. 

Oh wait and lately, she's does this thing where she grabs my face ever so gently in the palm of her hands and just wants me to look at her. She also calls me her "little buddy". Usually more like, "hey whittle buddy". She has the cutest voice and I could listen to her talk all day long. 

Her little imagination started to show as she started playing with her toys...asking them questions and making them reply. 

She loves the show "world word", "Mickey mouse club house" and as of late "Sofia the first". 

She jumps, hops or skips everywhere & likes to dance in the car. 

Oh and she started singing everything. Sentences and just singing. She puts one hand high in the air and yells "ta-dah".

I could go on and on about her. She really makes my each and every day worth it. I have never known this kind of love and she's the reason I feel it so strongly. I love everything about my zoey girl and I hope I  can continue to inspire her funny, silly, sweet, kind, loving, imaginative personality to shine. Xoxo
