cowboys

Zoey thinks every hat is a cowboy hat.  She puts on her sunhat and says, "Ride 'em cowboys!"  The cutest, though, is when she tries to say, "Yee-hah!" because she says it, "Nee-hah!" It almost sounds like she is saying hello in Chinese.

some random words

Today we watched some video of Zoey from July of 2009 and it brought tears to my eyes because of how much she has changed.  I want to remember more.  Here are some things I want to remember.

- She said totally for the first time this week.  As in, "It is totawee raining outside," and "I am totawee   hungry."  It cracks me up. 

- Hayley = HayHay
Dallin = DalDal
Taylor = ShayShay
She never deviates from these and I love it.

- In the car a few weeks ago she said, "Mommy, some words are so hard for me to say! Like enephant (elephant) and helicockter (helicopter) and hosipel (hospital)."  All I could do was agree with her - they are hard words to say!

- She told me the other day she needed to send grandma an email (an email!). When I asked what she needed to tell her she said, "It's secret, but very important," with her hand up in the air and a very serious look on her face.  How can I argue with that?

breasts

Within days of arriving home with our new little girl, Kaia:

Z:  Mommy, I am now ready to feed the baby.  My breasts are big like yours.

M and D:  Laughter.

And the next day...

Z:  Mommy, is it white milk or chocolate milk in your breasts?

M:  It's white milk.  Great question, Zoey!

Z: Yeah, it is a good question, huh?

dc, please

This past week I was making lunch for Zoey.

M: What would you like to drink, babe?

Z: Diet Coke, please!

Yeah, I am the best example, ever. (I did not give it to her, in case you were worried. She had milk. Wholesome milk.)

nekkid

Zoey, running nekkid up and down the hallway, with her flashlight beaming all over her body.

M: Zoey, what are you doing?!?

Z: This? I'm just flashing myself.

blue's clues

M: Zoey, I can't get that "Blue's Clues" song out of my head!

Z: You just need to use soap and water and wash it out.

sleepy legs

M: Brian, both of my legs are asleep! Ugh!

Z (Yelling from the other room): Mommy, just tell them to wake up!
