Playing dress up!

My aunt Shawna sent this cute little ballerina outfit to Zanna. She loves it! She flutters about in it and was quite excited to see herself in a full length mirror in her new super cool dance outfit! She reminds me of Shirley Temple in these photos.

I love this picture. Such a cute big smile!

lil jumper

This child is a jumper! She can get on and off the trampoline all by herself and will jump and jump and jump... She likes to do little tricks, her best one yet is landing on her bum!

Some Randomness

If Troop is laying on the floor Zanna is usually laying right by him. Only most of the time she squeezes onto the blanket with him.

My sister Mikelle went to Guatemala for a few weeks and brought back this cute little dress for Zanna. I LOVE it!!

Bath time. This little guy loves being bathed. He kicks his arms and legs and looks like a little frog!

Zanna loves to peak over Troop's cradle when he is sleeping.

How cute is that?

Holding her little brother.

Troop looks so old to me in this picture. I don't know why... maybe it is the expression on his face. He just looks like he knows what is going on.

Tummy time! YAY! I wish this would last longer than just a few minutes.

LIttle climber

Zanna and her crazy daddy climbing on the furniture! This little girl loves to climb. She has also recently learned to climb out of the port-a-crib!! NO!!!

Jathan is always saying we need to get her into rock climbing. I must say I agree... look at that form... ha ha!

Glad we got a two seater!

This Chariot has been awesome. I told Jathan he needed to get me a little infant swing so our little guy could go in the chariot with us. So one day he came home and surprised me with it! Now I can take both of my little kiddos!

When Troop is by Zanna she can not help but rub his hair of his face. Little cutie, I don't blame her!

Zanna decided she would have more fun riding on her daddy's shoulders. Luckily this chariot has a weather guard because we got rained on while on our outing and Troop didn't feel a drop, just slept peacefully!

What better way to end the day? I love snuggling with this sweet little boy!

Three weeks old

This sweet boy is growing so fast! Here are some photos of Troop when he was three weeks old.

Zanna loves sitting in all of Troops fun new things... such as the car seat, the bouncer and the swing. Her favorite is the bouncer. I can't keep her off of it!

You can see just how hairy this little guy was. He has fur all over his face. His cheeks always looked like they were dirty because they were hairy too! His cheek hair has since fallen off. Oh and check out his pouty lips! So cute.

Every morning Zanna wakes up saying "Baby." She loves this little guy. She first called him "toop" but she can now say "Troop". This is a typical morning with her and her little brother.

Fascinated with his tiny ears.

She has really been so sweet with him. The first few times I took Zanna outside with me to start the car without Troop she would get so nervous we were leaving him. She would almost cry saying "baby". I thought it was so sweet of her to be instantly concerned about her little brother.

Vowels

Tonight we put Zanna down to bed and about a half hour later we hear her singing in her crib. (If you have ever seen Monsters inc. when Boo is in the bathroom stall sitting on the toilet singing... that is exactly what Zanna sounds like when she sings these days. So darling.) We decided to go into her room and all lay down on the floor together. Of course as soon as we take Zanna out of her crib she is rolling, hiding under the blanket, grabbing our heads and pulling us under the blanket, she was not about to lay down and be still. She was everywhere! Jathan decides to go over the vowels with her and have her copy him... their conversation is as follows...

Jathan: A
Zanna: A
Jathan: E
Zanna: E
Jathan: I
Zanna: I
Jathan: O
Zanna:O
Jathan: U
Zanna: Me

It was hilarious!! Every time he said "U" Zanna said "Me". So funny! Oh the things children do. Jathan and I cracked up laughing every time!
