Wow.....it has been FOREVER since I've posted......I'm kind of a procrastinator if you hadn't noticed yet!
L, my friend Al, and I went to the zoo on Friday....L had sooo much fun, her favorite animals were the fish. She kept pointing at the tanks and saying, "shish, shish, shish!" It was super cute. She really liked the meerkats in the kiddie area, too. She called them kitties. We even rode on the carousal, which was a little scary for her...but I think she still had fun on it.
We went into the gift shop right before we left and she picked out an elephant toy to take home. So wish hubby had been there to see her, but he was working.
This morning we went to a photographer friend's house and L got her picture taken a few times. The friend is building up her portfolio so she did it for free and we even get a print of our favorite one and have the option to buy more if we'd like. I feel like a horrible mom....she's never had any professional photos taken of her....not even at a department store! =( I need to get her into a mutual friend's studio and have a bunch done of her and our family before she's a teenager!
My nephew turned four this month....he's getting so big and way too smart. He knows his abc's and no one's ever really sat down with him to teach him....we went to visit the fam on his b-day and he kept trying to get L to say them with him....she just said "e" over and over again.....it's so fun to watch her interact with her cousins...it'd be nice if we lived closer.
Easter's coming up and I'm so excited for L to participate in egg hunting this year.....I think she's totally going to love it! We've already signed up for a local egg hunt on the Saturday before. She'll be 19 months on Easter so she will actually be interested in it this year...last year she was only 7 months and wasn't really impressed by the basket my grandma bought for her....but we did visit my great grandmother that day and got some five generation photos with her, my grandpa, my dad, myself, and L. Not too soon either...since she has now passed away....I'm so glad that L will have those photos and I can tell her about her great-great grandmother when she gets older!
We went and looked at laptops after L's photo shoot....I was drooling so much over them! I fiddled around with one that I'm really interested in buying.....it would be awesome to get rid of this dinosaur of a computer from 2003.....can't believe how much 7 years dates a computer! Plus hubby and I are both looking forward to having the ability to take our computer with us somewhere....even if it's just to the other room! =)
