Pigtails!


Pigtails! The little stinker still won't let me do her hair but she giggles when Miss Amy or Ms. Astoria (her teachers) do it so I gave them a bunch of hair ties and she's been coming home in pigtails. Since she still hasn't had a haircut, she's got plenty of hair for them!
I've lost the blogging bug as of late but a quick update on Zoe...she's doing great! She learns new words every day, is using verbs and some two word phrases, counts to 3 clearly and 4 and 5 are emerging, has her color words (but is still working on matching the word to the color..seems to know green and blue more than others), says her teacher's name, does the body motions to numerous songs, loves completing Melissa and Doug puzzles, knows and can say circle and star and can pick out a square, and just gets taller every day :) Still trying to put weight on her. She eats well but will probably continue to track on the lower end of the weight chart. She's a 18-24 month on top due to her height, but bottoms are 12-18 month and she could probably still wear 6-12 if they weren't so short. Most importantly, and in writing this I'm jinxing it, we've all been sleeping through the night for a while now :) I think she's growing again right now though so that may change. We're looking so forward to seeing all the family out in Illinois in few weeks and can't wait for everyone to meet Zoe! Oh, and our house is back on the market as of tomorrow...wish us luck this time around!

Sounds like Zoe is doing so well!! It's such fun to watch them change right before our eyes! I hope your house sells quickly. Enjoy your visit with your family.

terrific update! Loved hearing that Zoe is acing all her milestones. Great news about her sleeping - must make you feel better. Beautiful pigtails - so cutie patootie. Good luck with the house - have you already found something you are interested in? Also, to your prior posts - great, great news about summer off and your contract. Let's make sure we get at least one fun playdate out of that time. For the one year post before that - well, you just have the most uncanny ability to make me sob my eyes out. It was fun to see you relayed the story of my calling to say "it's a girl"; I hope it's not bad that we're forever an intergral part of your referral day story. What a beautiful baby and now what a beautiful girl.
