Holiday

Time is flying by this December at the Robert's house hold.  Zoë is gaining more opinions each day and learning new words.  She loves to sing the ABC's and Itsy Bitsy Spider songs (only the first parts of each).  She has for some time really liked to count mostly to two, but when she sees two of something she will count them.  When we count together she will say the even numbers and I will say the odd numbers.  She has not counted to 10 all by herself yet but I think she is super close, we get to 5 together and she can finish to 9 most of the time and sometimes to 10.

She has been referring to herself as Zoë instead of Wowie, and also likes to name her dolls Zoë.  I am not sure if its her age but she loves to look at herself in the mirror.  When she gets dressed in the mornings she will say: "Look mirror".  She will dance in front of it, make faces, and check herself out.  Another thing she loves is looking at photos and videos of herself.  Not sure if I should be worried about it or not.

Zoë likes to use "It's everybody's" when she sees something she likes.  So if its everybody's then of course it is okay to play with it.

Z also likes to say: "What this about?" or "What is (fill in blank) doing?" and of course she still always says: "What the noise be?"

We have talked about how we are going to Nana and Pop's for Christmas and that Santa will bring her a gift.  I first asked her about it just before Thanksgiving and I ask what she would like for Christmas and she said "Candies" and I said "What kind of Candies would you like" and she replied "Blue Candies".  I have asked her many times and still the same response, with only "Red Candies" recently added.

Zoë learned to climb out of her crib on Thanksgiving day, so about a week later we decided to upgrade her to a big girl bed.  She has been doing awesome in her big girl bed!

She wanted me to take a photo of her in her big girl bed, pretending to sleep.
