I am so excited for my little one's 1st birthday-- I am so excited to throw her a party with lots of our favorite people and people that are important to Zoey.
Thats the thing about my baby-- she truly has the biggest heart. She loves people. She is sad, when they are sad, and happy when they are. She is my favorite little human.
As of right now, my two big ideas for her party would be either a book party, or a themed party around her favorite book, Brown Bear, Brown Bear. She loves loves loves that book. If she is ever upset or sad she finds her book and will flip the pages over and over. I want to have a good time and keep it simple, but also something that when she looks back at the pictures when she is older, she will appreciate it. Either way I am so very excited, and I can't believe I will be the mom of a 1 year old.
As of now Zoey can drink out of anything by herself, read books, play, go to sleep, and crawl, sign more, bye and all done all by herself.
She has taken her first steps and is slowly gaining more strength in her legs to stabilize herself when she gets a little wobbly. She has started to feed herself with a spoon as well and that has been fun to watch her learn to do that.
Future things: She is still learning more signs and signing was so nice to teach her so that we can understand what she wants. We will be buying a little toilet to set in the bathroom floor to get her used to seeing one and to see if it sparks any interest. I'm not super pushy about things, but I feel that by introducing it earlier it may help spike interest about it sooner. And, of course I imagine her fully walking at least by 14 months. If not, then it's okay but I think with all the warm weather it will get us outside and walking more to get those muscles in her cute tiny but chubby legs moving.
She is truly heaven set and has already blessed more peoples lives then I think she knows. She is so special- and she calls me mama.
Have a great day everyone!
P.S.-- if any of you parents or soon to be parents have other tricks and things you did to help with potty training, walking let me know. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
