Random Bath Pictures

Look I have letters stuck to me.

This is how you rinse.

Getting Help

This is what Z does when we ask her to look up at the camera. We now just ask her to look at the camera.

Margarita Pizza

We usually don't post about our dinners but I am so proud of Jason and his grilled Margarita Pizza. It was so yummy, so fresh and so healthy. Thank you honey for being so awesome at everything!

Sit Down and Smile...Please!!!

Running toward camera with tongue out.

Bouncing up and down instead of being still.

Finally a smile while she's not running wild.

Painting

I finally introduced painting to Ziva. Almost a year later than my mother did for me. Oh well. Z loves it! Any time she sees the plastic table cloth she asks to paint. She did a really good job and can't wait to get to paint again.

Two brushes.

She gets this ninja painting style from her mom.

Hand prints. Smack!!

My Little Artist

Crossed Feet

Not the a good picture of Ziva but I wanted to show how Ziva sits when she reads. She always crosses her feet. What a good little lady.

Baby Sister

"Baby Siser" is a very hot topic here in the Brown house. Ziva asks about her, reads about her in her new "big sister book" and then there's the patting my tummy to "love" siser. We are practising being gentle with baby with Z's doll. Ziva likes to give her a bottle. We can't wait to see what she does when she really meets her baby sister.

Working Out

We decided that Ziva needed to shed a couple of pounds, so we started her on an exercising plan. Just kidding. Once again my little girl is copying her mommy. This time with working out. On her very own, she found two toys that looked like weights and then drug out my mat. She also stands and does shoulder presses but won't let me take pictures of that. I am sad to say that she has been working out more than me lately.

Quietly Playing

If you were to walk in to our house don't be surprised to find Ziva setting at her table playing quietly. Such a blessing. Sometimes it's reading. Sometimes it coloring. This time it is playing with her puzzle. If you look closely at the bottom puzzle you will see the pieces are in the wrong places. He he.

Big Girl Cup

Jason decided it was time for Ziva to start drinking out of a "big girl cup." Only at the table or in the kitchen. It is messy and will take a while for her to learn how to handle it completely. As the one who will mostly clean up after these messes, I don't mind. Cleaning the mess is small compared to the learning and growth she is going though. Plus she has to learn sometime. It is worth her being so proud of herself. Can't spend the whole time worried about a mess. Childhood won't wait.

Gather Around

This is how I found Ziva's Pooh Bear toys the other night. Gathered around the radio. But we don't gather around the radio...so is it the TV?

Ready to Go

Lately, Ziva has been getting herself ready to "go." No, we don't let her walk out the door this way. It is cute though. It is hard for me not to take offense. She is in the mimicking stage majorly and its very enlightening to see yourself through your child's eyes. But I do not go out looking that way.

Bye Bye. Let's go!

Take Me!

Ziva couldn't stay out of Daddy's suit case when he was getting ready for his Key West trip.

Faces of Z

It's getting harder and harder to take a picture of Ziva when she is looking at the camera. So any I can get that are halfway decent are gonna get posted.

Fake Smile

Real Frown

Real Giggle

Silly Girl

I know. I know. You don't have to say it. Our child is crazy. We love that she has no shame. Just hoping it doesn't happen in public when she's older.

Ziva is wearing my fingerless gloves (good for hand sewing when your cold) and then my gardening gloves. She's not wearing a shirt and has wet pants because she drinks out of a "big girl cup."

I can only say...Her father did this.

Tea for Two

Pouring the tea. Actually Ziva calls it "toffy." Cause that is what mommy drinks.

"Here you go Mr. Pig."
