First swimming experience

Zoey had her first trip to the pool a few days ago. She seemed to like the water.

She's starting to develop her personality. For the most part, she has a happy personality (smiles and laughs a lot), but she can get REALLY cranky. I was trying to put her to bed this evening and had a tantrum.

Sounds strange, but I'm actually glad to see that she has a temper.

While she was having her tantrum, I was actually happy/relieved. A few minutes later, she fell fast asleep.

I've always been stubborn, temperamental, and strong-willed. Michael is as well. I think it's important not to be too nice and to stand up for one's self. I'm glad to see Zoey make noise when she's not happy about something.

3 pairs of shoes

So I came home from work a few days ago to discover that Zoey is now the proud owner of 3 pairs of new shoes. Even though she does not walk yet. I walked into the living room and Mommy was trying pairs of baby shoes on Zoey.

At least, as the baby of the family, she's not getting less attention or very many hand-me-downs. I know it's difficult for the 2nd child, getting all of the hand-me-downs. However, Zoey's doing quite well on that front ... think Mommy is vicariously living the childhood she always wanted and buying Zoey all sorts of cute baby girl outfits, clothes, shoes.

Zoey and Michael share a closet for their clothes, and despite being younger, she has managed to take up more than half of the closet space with her clothes. Quite impressive.

I actually counted the sections, Zoey's on the left, Michael's on the right. I counted each section and they were evenly split, except for the middle section. That ended up being all Zoey's clothes, so it's essentially a 60-40 split of closet space for clothes (in her favor).

I'll have to explain to big brother ... you share a closet with a girl, get used to it. You'll grow up and have a wife someday and it will be the same, so you might as well get accustomed to it at an early age.

Lost first tooth

Zoey lost her first tooth this evening! It was the lower left central incisor.  She was so excited this evening, jumping up and down and s...
