Beautiful girl-and she has the same fat cheeks as Zanthias
Enjoying the nice weather
Everything is a gun to this kid, even though we don't buy toy guns or anything.
He's happy to have a day outside.

Hmm, which piece of grass should I eat now?

Face decoration time!

Zaphira got ahold of a small piece of wax (food grade at least! from a mini Babybel cheese) today and puked it right back up. While I was busy trying to clean her up, Zanthias was very quiet...too quiet. He found a marker and decorated his face. He liked it, though he didn't like the cleanup.
Zaphira is busy crawling everywhere and pulling herself up on everything. She enjoys yogurt, as does Zanthias. We have to hide it in the fridge or he would eat nothing but yogurt!

Zaphira is getting big!

Playing outside
Enjoying sweet potatoes
Zaphira is totally a daddy's girl

Zaphira has 2 teeth, is crawling like crazy, and pulling herself to stand on everything (and everyone!) Zanthias is adding some new words to his vocabulary and is loving getting outside in the nice weather.

Pics and a tough video

Pretty in pink

Zanthias got a haircut!

Smooshed face Zaphira


Since he won't take regular baths or let us comb his hair, it was time for a haircut. We were sad to see the curls go, but it looks very cute short as well (and it's not nearly as messy!)

snowed in

Getting ready for the hill.
Crashing into bushes
Zaphira likes being outside.

We are officially snowed in. We had about 7" the other day, and Drew even got Monday off work. It was Zanthias's first time on a sled, and he had a great time. Thanks for the floor piano, Wilbur and Deborah-Zanthias really loves it.
