She did really well! It was pretty funny and she ended up eating the entire bag of gummy bears that I brought to keep her occupied. She wouldn't let me give them to her one at a time...oh no...she had to have them all at once. So...you'll see a picture with her mouth full! :D
Cassie (my stylist) gave her a comb...good thinking!!
...and the love affair with the gummy bears begins!!
WHAT...you are spraying me with cold WATER...wait, no one said anything about this!
Don't care...have gummy bears!
Have Gummy bears...AND A COMB!!!
She discovered the mirror at this point and got really quiet and interested.
Oops...dropped one! Must...save...the...gummy bears...
Hmmm...what is she doing to me?
Ahh...don't care, have gummy bears!
Seriously...don't care anymore, just focus on the gummy bears. 
Cassie and Zada (uh, mom...I'm done...no more pictures please!)

Halloween For Zada
Hi,
It's been a while since my last post. I'd like to say that I've been busy, well sort of, but not really. Well, anyway...
She was a turtle Princess/Ballerina. She has been a "tiny turtle" since the day she was born, but the only turtle costume I could find were for boys. MIL Sharyl put together a really amazing little tutu/skirt. I SO do not have that gene in my body! :D
Enjoy!
Are we done yet?

Adventures in Potty Land
I decided that it was time for Zada to get a potty chair. It is early yet, I know, but I thought well, at least it will be there for her to see and maybe she'll let me know when she is ready.
I went to Walmart for my regular weekly shopping and saw this really cute chair (Zada's is yellow though)that makes flushing noises and tells her what a good job she did.
I get it home and as soon as it is out of the box upstairs she MUST sit on it and "flush" it. I think, "GREAT,this will be easier than I thought." Then I realized she does not want to go downstairs she wants to stay on her potty (sounds like pah-te). I pick her up and Zada screams, "No, NO, NO, NOOOOO!!!" I try to calmly explain that it is a potty and not a toy. Uh...no go, I end up dragging her downstairs and putting the baby gate up, because she continually tried to climb the stairs to get to her potty.
Well, we try a couple times throughout the day with no success (ie, no liquid in the chair). I'm not worried because, again, I just wanted her to get used to it. I am however glad she likes it and isn't running away screaming!
Then I'm getting her bath ready and the water is running, I get her undressed and put her on the potty, immediately I hear this tinkle sound. She stands up and points with a big "O" on her face. She is saying in Zada speak - Look what I did. After a round of praises and hugs, she proceeds to sit back on the potty again. I explain, no you went potty, it's time to get in the bathtub. We had more sucess with this than just going downstairs, because the bathtub has toys! I could not believe it, she actually went potty.
This morning, I start to get her ready and ask, "do you need to go potty?" Zada says yes, with a vigorous nod. I set her on it, she isn't going to run anywhere and I proceed to brush my teeth, then I hear the tell-tale tinkle. Whoopie. She went potty again!!!
Now, getting her dressed after the potty is another story...

Family Vacation
John came home for a mini vacation. It was wonderful. There will be a bunch of pictures, but I hope you enjoy them. We had a great time!
Zada had this enormous grin on her face the entire time daddy was home. He is so wrapped around her finger. 
Our little girl turned 18 months while daddy was home! She is 32" tall and weighs 21# and 4ozs. (tall and skinny...hahaha)
She was so pleased with herself for getting up to the slide. She was just cracking up the whole time. What a little ham!
The swing was another favorite! Weeeeeee!
This picture is awesome...I just love it!
Look...I have feet!
You can see how much Daddy enjoyed his time with the girls too!
