Never a dull moment with Miss Z around!!! I have gotten a few "Where are you guys???" emails so I thought I better make the time for a post! We just had a wonderful time with my friends (and Zaela's Godparents!) from Wisconsin who came to visit us,,, wish they could have stayed longer! Thanks for coming Jay, Kel, and Kasey!!!! And here are some of our highlights since the last post.....

Today we went to the LA Zoo and checked out some animals!! She is a climber!!! The park is a little stressful for mom now!!!!!!!

Took a tumbling class at My Little Gym.... not sure if they want us back after she tore the place up on her first visit! lol

"Who Let the Dogs Out," by Zaela Rose !!!!

We are HERE!

Here we are !!! For many reasons I just haven't had the time to blog and really have no idea how you "good" bloggers keep up! The holidays were so busy and flew by way too fast. Zaela had a great time this year talking about Santa and the 16' Nutcracker displayed down the street! We are still hearing about the Nutcracker EVERYDAY!!!! In usual Zaela form, she was the center of attention and loved having grandma and grandpa here for 2 weeks!

She is back in daycare now and adjusting well. We have a Dr. appt on the 18th to try to find out why she favors her right eye so much... other than that..... all good and weighing in just shy of 37lbs these days!

So here are some pics and a little video....

Fall Fun!

As usual there never seems to be enough time in the day to get that blog post in!! Well, I made the time today because I know grandma and grandpa are patiently waiting for some new pics! Zaela is still talking about her trip to the pumpkin patch,,,she had soooo much fun! She took her first official plane ride in her very own seat and we spent Halloween with Nikko, Matt, and Fiori! Here are some highlights.....

***Happy Birthday Baby***

My little girl turned "2" on the 18th and woke up saying "NO!" Yup, right on schedule for the terrible 2's!!! lol! We had a fun Birthday Party complete with neighbors and friends. Little girl even blew out her candles.... twice! Yes, she loved the birthday song and blowing out the candles so much that we had to do a replay : )

She is learning something new everyday and it is hard to keep up with her. She can count, sing her ABC's, and knows her colors. She also started full time daycare on Oct. 6th. I am so fortunate to have found a wonderful in home daycare near my home! The first week there was some crying, but everything has fallen into place and she is having a great time with Laura and the other kids!

First day at Daycare!
