The stuff she says that makes me warm and fuzzy all over.

• Thank you, Mommy.
• I love you, Mommy.
• Bless you, Mommy. {when I sneeze}
• Be careful, Mommy! {when I stand on a chair to reach for something}
• This is not “baby”, this is Zoe!
• Mommy, you want some {insert whatever we’re eating here}?
• I take care of Mommy. {while covering me with a blanket}
• Mommy, are you okay?

[Note that she says this stuff to Daddy too, but Mommy’s the one recording this so Mommy gets all the love right now. ;]

Who knew a little two-year-old could be so sweet?

Another sniff-she’s-growing-up-so-fast moment: my baby learned to pronounce the “g” sound!

Until today, it’s been “doonight” (goodnight) and “doddie” (doggie) and all kinds of awesome mispronunciations. Literally overnight, it’s gone! Waaaahhhh.

She hasn’t caught on to the “k” sound yet though, so I’m gonna cherish that one for a bit longer. Looking forward to a zoo trip to see the “monteys” sometime soon.

It’s been at least a week or so, but Zoe has started stringing words together to make up full, if short, sentences!

This morning as I tried to rock her back to sleep (or at least to a state where she might try to go back to sleep), she asked, “Beh Beh tsai na li?” (Where is Bear Bear?)

And also, after asking for Dada and I said Dada’s sleeping, she said “Dada sleeping. Home.” which almost made me tear because Dada hasn’t been home since the 30th! Waaaah.

Still signing, too. She also asked for Ahma, and I replied that Ahma’s sleeping. She made the sleeping sign over my face and said “Ahma sleeping. Mommy sleeping.”

Guess I shouldn’t be all that surprised since she’s been singing full songs in both Chinese and English (but mostly Chinese) for a few months now, but still!

And yesterday, “He guo zi.” (Drink fruit juice.) Ha!
