Zoey's first birthday

Wow! I can't believe it has already been a year! My little girl is getting so big! We had a really fun day with her! We started the day by singing happy birthday to her, then I made her some scrambled eggs (she has never had that before). She loved them! Then we skyped grandma and grandpa Stegen and opened the present they sent (cute blanket, book, card, and outfits). We played until naptime. Dad came home from school and we all went to the Greenbrier toy store...way fun! She loved playing with all the toys and seeing the giant stuffed dogs. She loves puppies! Now she sees them and says "woof woof!" The chocolate shop gave Zoey a free delicious chocolate lollipop:) After the Greenbrier we took Jason back to school, Zoey napped again, and I made Zoey's Elmo cake. We had a party for her that night with our friends and their kids, it was so much fun! We sang to Zoey and she had a funny look on her face, not knowing what was going on. We gave her cake, but it was pretty uneventful. She didn't even get messy...not like Zoey! Anyway then she opened a few gifts and played with her friends the rest of the night. She was so tired at the end of the night that I took her into her room and she reached for her crib! I love my Zoey girl! She is so smart and goofy! She learns so much everyday! Some things she can say: Mommy, Dada, bye-bye daddy, Hi, backpack, map, no-no, num num or yum, ball, doggie, hot, boogie (when dad is cleaning her nose!), owie, and some others I can't think of. She loves to give kisses and blow kisses (says mwah), wave, throw balls, kick balls, starting to run, plays peek a boo and says boo or baa, airplane with dad, plays pat-a-cake, eating pretty much anything now, can push play on the dvd player to play her elmo movie, loves to read her books with mom or by herself, swimming (can't get enough of the water) and she loves to dance! Those are just a few things she does! What a year- she has learned all of these things, been to california, st. george, virginia beach, Richmond, DC, and Utah a couple times of course. She has done well with all of the plane rides... lets hope it stays that way! Jason and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect daughter:)
