Me and My Animal Friends....

Zanna wanted to know what her animals felt like living in their basket, so she joined them. First, she took every single one out, and then got in the basket herself, and then wanted Mommy to put every animal on top of her... and then, we repeated the process...ad nauseum :) Pretty funny.

Bakin' with Aunt Stevie!

Aunt Stevie came to visit a few weeks ago, and she and Zanna baked an angelfood cake together! Aunt Stevie is quite a good baker and Zanna had lots of fun learning from her! Bon Appetit!

Animal book

As I've said before, reading is a very favorite pastime for Zanna.
She especially likes to read books about animals.

Enjoy!

Shout out to the Fam!

Many of our family members have created their own "signs", and Zanna LOVES to talk about them! She'll ask me throughout the day how certain people are doing by showing me their sign... an early version of "hey baby,what's your sign?!" but a non-creeper version!

Beware of Zanna the Tornado!

Our daughter is a tornado!
This was all done in the time it took Cam to cook dinner today...
Ah, cleaning up after a toddler :)
Thanks, Moms, for cleaning up after us!

Princess Playtime!

We've been having fun playing in the princess playbox lately!
As you can see, Mommy thinks it's nearly as fun as Zanna does.
Enjoying the world of toddler-hood!

A Child's Play is her work

Zanna has developed an interest in moving things from one place to another, like cat food into the water bowl.... so, I thought back to my

Montessori days, and remembered that one of the "works" in the toddler room is moving rice from one bowl to the next. Well, I really didn't want to be picking rice up off of the floor for days, so I opted for raw Farfalle pasta. After modeling that this doesn't go into

her mouth, Zanna got VERY into it. She was focused for quite a while on this work. When I become braver, we're going to use water.....:)
