Zoey's first birthday!

I can't believe our little Zoey is already 1 

Her theme this year was "one in a melon!"  It was the cutest thing ever!  She also got lots of babies dolls and was in HEAVEN she is already such a little mommy, and carried those babies everywhere!

We had her birthday party at my friends house- it was big enough for everyone and we could still be inside instead of dying in the heat!  It was the perfect place! My friend Jamie made all of Zoeys cakes and this thing was sooo yummy- she even made the macaroons on top!

Happy birthday baby girl!  We love you so much and can't wait to see all that you do! 

At 1 years old she is hitting all her milestones and growing like a weed! She is a whopping 22 lbs 2 oz (81%), 31.2 in tall (might be a little generous haha 97%) and her head circumference is 17.7 (50%) 

Zoey 10 months!

How is time going by so fast?! She is full on walking- and gets into everything! She also loves to put everything in her mouth 🙄 she has the biggest sweet tooth and LOVES eating mom and dads food- she will spit out her binkie the second she sees us reach for a drink or something to eat and starts begging for it, tongue out and everything! She has 4 teeth (2 top and 2 bottom with some more top ones not far behind!) she waves bye and hello, claps, and likes to yell for Jenson haha she will nap a few times a day still which is so nice for mom! She has quite the spunky personality already, we are going to have our hand full for sure with this one!

Jenson-11 Months

I figured it was about time to post Jenson's stats since he is almost 1- (SERIOUSLY!?!?)

Jenson is such a independent active boy.  I swear it's his red headed personality shining through more and more but his personality is coming though more and more.  He is so good at walking around, but still only while holding on to things.  As soon as you let go of his hands he will just drop down and start crawling again.  He has 7.5 teeth (4 on top, 3.5 on bottom).  Jenson's sleep schedule was messed up a little from vacation but we are finally getting on track again with naps and his bed time.  We put him in his bed around 7:30/8 ish but he wont always fall asleep right way.  He takes a nap around 9/10 ish and another one around 1/2 ish.  Jenson is so content to play by himself is makes it easier for me to get some things done around the house.  He will clap when you say "yay!!", waves good by and will blow a kiss (but hardly ever when you want him to...).  He can go up and down the stairs, down still scares me so we keep the baby gate up still though. He refuses to sleep while being held, making church extra hard. He loves to sleep with his favorite blanket and binki (he only gets the binki at nap and bed time now.)  He can stand unassisted.  He says "mom" and "dad" constantly we are working on getting him to say "grandma, ball, car, and cup"  but really he just looks at us like we are crazy ;) He sort of signs "more" and what seems to be "please" but I am sure he is meaning something else that we haven't quite figured out yet (or he is just really polite!) He loves food, if you are eating he wants to be also!  

He loves to eat:

puffs

bananas

bread

veggie straws

sweet potatoes

green beans

potatoes

noodles

avocados

whatever mom and dad are eating and will share

Likes: cars, food, noisy toys, getting into things he shouldn't, piano, foam blocks, mr. potato head, his push toy, playing catch, shopping with mom, facing forward when in a shopping cart, facetiming, people watching, balls, playing chase, bath time (splashing, and drinking the water mostly), books, brushing his teeth (but only the lower teeth...) his laughing Curious George, theme songs, being outside. 

Dislikes: empty bottle, when you say "all done" while eating, diaper changes,  being told "no", getting cleaned up, 

Guessing:

Weight: about 23lbs

Height: about 29 inches

And still has the flaming red hair!
