LaNea's flash cards

We've been doing flash cards for a long time around our home. Now we've been moving on to sounding out words.  Its obviously a slow process but its so fun to see the shock on LaNea's face each time she realizes what she's sounding out.  The human brain is just amazing!  Every time she figures out a word she always tries to put it in a sentence (who knows why) and they are sometimes so funny.  Here's a few from today...

1. "dog, like we walk the dog"
2. "her, like her broke the toothbrush" (Zoe broke her toothbrush yesterday)
3. "will, not like run...(Her go to response when she has no idea what the word means)
4. "cat, like cat say meow"
5.  "black, like black hair"
6.  "sit, like when you eat you have to sit"
7.  "stop, like red means stop"
8. "cow, like cow says moo"
9.  "that, like the tire is that" (flat, that...totally sound the same)

So here's just some random pictures of our lives lately.

 Great America is a huge part of our lives.  And we love having visitors come with us.
 Zoe has recently fallen in love with stickers.  She pulls them off of EVERYTHING
 LaNea is definitely my little helper.  She's willing to help me do anything if I ask her to.  Even if its cleaning up the dog poo.
 Being pregnant can be hard when both girls want to sit on my lap.  Poor things don't realize how little room is actually there now. :)
Being pregnant has been exhausting but its fun being just a few weeks apart from one of my best friends. 

Zoe's 1!!

Can't believe a year has already come and gone and yet I can't remember what we ever did without this little girl.  She so stubborn but happy all the time.  Still hasn't figured out how to grow hair but I'm hoping it starts soon.  At the drs her numbers were: Weight: 23lbs 13.5oz (91.91%) Height: 32 1/2 in (100%) and Head Circumference: 47 cm (92.60%).  She started walking well in November and has kept it up since.  She has opinions and will let you know them.  She is obsessed with electronics but doesn't love just watching movies.  She'd rather play/mess-up your phone than just hold it still.  She talks to herself and anyone who wants to listen all the time.  The words she does know are "All done" and "bye bye".  She loves to cuddle when she's tired or sad or just woke up or any other time she chooses. Her favorite person tends to be LaNea though I do follow close behind.  We feel pretty lucky to have her around!
 Her Stubborn face letting us know she's going to ignore us.
 She's recently fallen in love with LaNea's chair.  Fortunately LaNea hasn't noticed.
 Trying to teach about presents
 Really doesn't take much to help her smile!
 My sister has the greatest taste in clothes.  She gave the girls these dresses and I love that they match without matching.  
 She knew this one was special the moment she touched it.
 And she was right.  She has wanted one of these for a while but I think its the stupidest toy.  But I finally caved in and got it for her.  She been dragging it everywhere since.  Sorry neighbor downstairs!
 LaNea helped bring Zoe all the presents and stayed by her side just in case she needed any extra help. 


Making her wish and keeping her hands off the cake.


 She's begun using silverware.  Not perfect at it but its so cute to see her try!!



And a perfect Birthday breakfast.  We love this girl!!
