Zoelicious is one!!!

My precious little angel is one today! It's so crazy that one year ago today I held my 5 lb 7 oz, 18 in sweetheart for the first time. I was so extremely nervous to have two children. If you know Kyren, you know exactly why I would be nervous. You see this little sweetheart's big brother can be quite the handful (actually he's always a handful). But that's also what we love about him! And the closer time came to meeting our little Zoe, the more anxious I got about if I could handle TWO Kyrens. Well turns out, she was exactly what our little growing family needed. She is the sweetest, most girly little lady! I absolutely love her!!! She has brought so much joy and fun to our lifes over this last year.
Here are a couple of things about Zoe:
She was Born on February 24, 2009 (What would have been my Grandma Sorenson's 100th Birthday)
Born at 3:49 a.m.
I pushed one tiny practice push and on the next push she came completely out, head and body.
She weighed a tiny 5 lbs 7 oz
18 inches long
Zoe started sleeping through the night completely at 8 weeks
I was actually able to nurse Zoe (Breastfeeding is really hard for my tiny babies' mouths)
Nursing took us 7 weeks to get down, then I dried up shortly after going back to work when she was 6 months old
She didn't roll very much
She sat up at 5 months
crawled at 7 months
was almost 7 months before she would eat baby food
stood up in the middle of the floor at 7 1/2 months
walked at 11 months
She says mama and dada
she's a total mommy's girl
Loves to snuggle and get tickled.
Absolutely adores her big brother ( I love the bond they have, they love each other so much, but also love to pester each other)
She loves dolls and stuffed animals
She LOVES to eat too
And she still has NO teeth ( I can see three coming in, but they have not broken through yet)

We had her birthday party on Sunday and will be going out to dinner tonight to celebrate. I will post pictures soon!
I love this little lady with all my heart and I'm so proud to call her mine.
