Zoey's Diary: 15 Months
Hi Hi Hi!
Zoey here, to tell you all about us being 15 months old!
First of all, Uncle Ben and his family came to visit! So exciting! We looooove our Uncle Ben...he is the best!
Also, lots of pool time, especially on the weekends. I was always pretty gung-ho about the pool from the start, but Bubs was a little scared at first, but he's totally come around. We like to get in and out of the pool, while Mommy and Daddy stay in and watch us, but they've got to be ready for us because when we're ready to get back in we're READY...we just turn around and shimmy in feet first and trust that there's someone there to catch us (which there always is).
We are totally into getting behind the couch cushions lately...Mommy calls it playing in our secret fort.
Mommy is all about pool safety, which is why we wear our safety turtles (the green bracelets you see) when we are not swimming. We really like them. If Mommy says "turtle" we touch our wrists whether the bracelets are on or not. And when she's ready to put on the turtles, we are happy to hold out our wrists and get them on.
Daddy is so great to hang out with. Lately he's been teaching Bubs how to play Farkle (like Yatzee) on the iPAD.
And me, given the choice, I always want my Daddy holding me.
We get outside every day...Mommy says she's not sure what she's going to do with herself once winter hits...although she does say that winter is mild in New Mexico, so I say put coats on us and we can go out and play just like we always do.
Ice cream + Bubs = a match made in heaven.
What else...let's see...we are talking like mad. Here is a list of some of my words:
Milk (pronounced "nk")
Ball
Truck
Mama
Daddy
Teddy (which can sound a lot like Daddy...sometimes you need to take the context into consideration)
Roar
I always look so proud of myself when I say something and people understand.
Here are some of Bubs' words:
Teddy
Plane
Car
Bird
Ball
Hot
Roar
Speaking of cars, Bubs has gone crazy for cars all of a sudden. He wakes up in the morning going "car, car, car, car," and any time we are out he has to touch all the cars we walk past. And Daddy got him some Hot Wheels...Bubs was so happy!
And...we are super splash-happy in the bath lately, or at least that's what Mommy says. Sometimes she closes the curtain and says "splash zone" and lets us go to town.
What else...I love to spin in circles. Sometimes Daddy will spin me and then I'll stagger off...Mommy and Daddy think it's hilarious. And both me and Bubs have started to bounce. And if Daddy says "shimmy" I'll move my shoulders with the music that's playing...that's my way of dancing. And we love to sit in Mommy's lap, both of us, for stories. We can literally sit and be read to for an hour...we are just crazy about books, both of us. And we love it when we can sit with Mommy and share a morning snack (she feeds it to us)...our favorite is strawberries and cottage cheese...
So that's about it...summer fun around here and we are loving it!
Love,
Zoey
