The 2nd Birthday!

Well it is not over yet but I cannot believe I am already putting up 2 year old pics...where does the time go? It started at 6am. I had put balloons in her room along with her presents. When we went in she noticed them and from that moment on had a balloon in hand for the first hour of the day and many times so far.
We tried to open gifts but only got through two of the 6 since she was way too preoccupied with the balloons.
When we finally got the balloons away from her we went to Target to pick up daddy's paycheck and to get her tricycle. Which she was super excited about. She talked about it all the way home. We got home and put it together. She had been using the seat as a hat and was utterly devastated that we would take it away to attach it and she could not have it back. That set the trike back for a good 30 minutes which we filled opening other presents. She got paint, giant paper, a smock and a leaptop from her great uncle bryan. From mommy she got a stroller with baby doll. She sat in the stroller and wanted to use the paci for the doll. Silly girl!
After she got a little tired of that she wanted to paint.

It was almost nap time but one last thing, we needed to call Grandma Sue back so she could wish the little one a happy birthday over the phone. Well, she loves the phone and whenever I am on it she says "hello" but to put it up to her ear and have someone talk to her..no she doesn't like that. She was crawling out of my arms. That leads us to right now nap time...ahhhhhhhhh. Then on to McDonalds for her favorite foods and monkey joe's for some jumping!!

Pirate Hats


Z and I made pirate hats tonight because the animals on Timmy Time had on pirate hats. She also loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates and the pirates on Imagination Movers so I figured it was definitely time to learn to make a pirate hat. It didn't fit so well especially when you used it the right way which is why all of these pics make her look like she works at a restaurant but we had fun.
(PS she just had spaghetti o's which is why the stained shirt and face)

Potty Time

So, we just decided to introduce...the potty. (These are horrible pics by the way I was trying to snap them all quickly and while moving)

As you can probably tell there is something missing...

Yes Zatanna believes that it is much funner as a hat and or lifesaver...
Luckily, she has not gone potty in it yet. Although, I did get a report she did fart on it once...so, one step at a time I guess ;) 
Oh and no the markings on the tub are not permanent. That is bathtub markers. Sometimes mommy leaves the art work until the next bath time.

18 month stats

Z had her 18 month checkup on the 16th of Sept. Here are her stats
Height: 31 3/4inches
Weight: 23 lbs 2 oz
Head: 18.25 inches

She had her last shot until kindergarten I think so that is wonderful!!! The doctor said she looks great and was impressed that she can put simple sentences together. I did not tell her she could Z said something (I wish I could remember what) and she said "she is already forming sentences...well that is ahead of the curve". Beyond that everything else was exactly on the same curve she has always been on from height to head circumference :)

A few super cute pics from today

Sink Time

I did not know that other kids loved the sink until I saw another post about playing in the sink. On a sad mommy note, the last time we did this Z ended up turning on the hot water without mommy (who was making cinnamon rolls right next to her) noticing until the cries started. Safe to say I had my eyes glued to her for this one.


Eckerts

Here is some pictures of Zatanna picking apples at Eckerts in Belleville,IL . She was so good. I was especially proud because she would only take a thirty minute nap before we went.

All the new things

Z is 17 months as of the 4th of August. She can say a ton of stuff and communicates very well. "Again" is her new favorite word.  I made a funny face at her in the bathtub that included crossing my eyes...let's just say that after the tenth "again" this gets a little difficult.
She has been getting significantly grumpier every time she does not get her way. I used to think maybe we would just fly through the terrible twos and threes because she was such a sweetheart all the time. However, now you can tell the cat "no" and she will slam herself on the floor and start to cry...talk about a new world.
I am starting to worry that she may have feet like her mom. When I was growing up I had arches that were too high so I could never find shoes that fit and ended up wearing boys shoes for some of my growing up years but now they have wide width so hopefully that will work. I can shove her feet into a size 5 but she cries and the size 6 shoes that Doug parents bought for her tonight are huge on her so I think she may never wear anything except flip flops. :)
She eats anything with noodles but very little meat. She loves couscous and runs around saying "coo coos" while you are cooking it. Luckily, she also likes fruits and veggies (I have never seen a little kid just eat lettuce with nothing else surrounding it) She will demand silverware now and is very good at the spoon. The fork she can use but she usually stabs it, brings it up to her mouth and then just removes it with her fingers.
She starts Little Gym again this Sat. I am really excited I missed it. We have so much fun there.
Anyway, that is my condensed post for everything that has been happening.

OK so it has been a while...here is Z helping me with the laundry

15 month checkup

Zatanna had her 15 month checkup today. Here are the stats
Height 30 1/2
Weight 21 lbs 13 oz
Head 18 inches

She was given two shots she had already had before so no worries. We were told there is only one more at 18 months and then we are done until kindergarten!!! Hallelujah! At least this time she was only upset for a minute and then was her usually happy self. She came home and ate some pringles and was ready for a nap.
The doctor says she looks great and hopefully we will not see her again until Sept.
