Little Miss Attitude

It is hard to believe that our little unexpected blessing from God is almost 15 months. She is growing so fast and is now a full fledged toddler. She started walking right around her first birthday. In fact it was the day of her birthday party that she decided to display her new found talent. The whole family was at the house and she started putting on a show for them. By now she is quite thrilled about her new freedom and loves to explore the house. She gets quite upset if you put her in her pack-n-play. She believes she deserves the same freedom as her big brother and sister. She has a fairly large vocabulary and is starting to put two-word phrases together. She loves her brother and sister and is starting to interact with them in terms of playing. Her favorite game is to throw her toys out of the pack-n-play and wait for Cayden or Hannah to throw them back in. She thinks it is so funny. She is starting to want to wrestle with Craigan in the mornings. It is the tradition of Cayden and Hannah that when they wake up and get in our bed they wrestle with their Daddy. Now Zoe has caught on and does her form of wrestling with him. Over the past few weeks she has developed a little bit of an attitude. When something is not how she wants she will fuss and sometimes throw her body back like she is pitching a fit. It is quite cute but I am doing my best to discourage the attitude. If I say "Zoe Sarah that is not necessary" she puts her head down in shame. It is so cute and I am very impressed that at almost 15 months she knows that when I say her middle name that I am serious. Despite her little attitude she is a little sweet heart. I am so thankful that God in his sovereignty gave us a third child despite our fears. She is an absolute blessing (as are all our children) and I am humbled that God has chosen Craigan and myself to raise them to be godly men and women. It is an awesome and scary responsibility but we are trusting God for guidance.

I thought of a few other cute things to say about Zoe. She loves music. She loves to dance and it is so cute when she shakes her little rear end and twist her shoulder (which is her signature move). She likes to sing. Her favorite song is the ABC song. She can't say all of the letters but she gets the rhythm and you know what she is singing. She knows what sound a dog, duck and horse makes and she is learning her body parts and how to say them. It is amazing how much they can learn at this age.
