23 months and almost a big sister

Hard to believe that in 3 weeks time Christmas will be over, baby will be here and Zoe will be turning 2. Oh and it will be 2014. Right.

So this post will be short and sweet. Zoe's vocabulary is blowing up and every day she is picking up new words and sounds. "See you soon" is probably her most common phrase. She keeps us laughing although she is definitely also testing her limits.

She can be quite whiny at times and full of joy and mischief at others. Curious George is her favorite right now and since mommy is 9 months pregnant she watches more than she should, I'm not too ashamed to admit. Its just for a time.

She successfully moved into her toddler bed right after Thanksgiving and hasn't looked back. Twice she has fallen out somehow, and once or twice she has gotten out of bed in the morning before we went to get her but she doesn't get out otherwise or put up a fight about bed. She points to the crib and says "baby" and seems content with the transition. Yay.

She loves drawing (coloring) and playing with her doll. I'm excited about the toys she is getting for Christmas- doll accessories and a play kitchen- that will help keep her occupied as we add a baby into the mix around here.
Speaking of which, unless baby comes early which does not look likely, I am scheduled for a c-section on December 30th. We'll have a quiet Christmas, just the three of us, and then my parents will come down that following weekend to celebrate with us and to keep Zoe while we're in the hospital. So yeah, just over a week to go! We can't wait!
