Happy Birthday Zoe!

Zoe's birthday fell on a Sunday this year. Daddy had church obligations the day before and the day after, so we kept things simple. We had a nice steak dinner (I think Zoe only ate the cucumbers) and then had a few friends over for cake and ice cream.

Zoe requested a My Little Pony Cake. I think it turned out okay. This is my interpretation of her favorite pony "Scootaloo". Here is the birthday girl waiting for the song to be complete...
Trying to blow out the candles after the were re-lit. Noah and Jenna were a little too eager and did it for her. In the end I ended up "helping" her. She doesn't quiet get the concept, I guess we need to work on it before next year.

The following morning Zoe had her 3 year check up. She now weighs 28 lbs. and is 34 1/4 inches tall. Still small, but at least on the growth chart. I think her big attitude, independence, and determination make up for her small stature. I am so proud of her on deciding to be a "big girl" and say goodbye to the diaper. She decided it was time to use the potty all on her own and this time around potty training was a breeze.
