Northwest Trek, Portland and a birthday!

At two months old, Zia is staying up more, interacting more, and smiling!  She has a new toy mat with flashing lights and a mobile that she just loves to play with.  She is getting better at holding up her head, too!  She is now old enough to go in the jogging stroller, with carseat attachment, so she has also been enjoying Greenlake runs with her mom.  She also got a Skype account so she can talk to out-of-towners who would like to see her in action.  Her user name is Ruybalids.

Zia smiles with her whole face.

...and frowns with her whole face too.

Sometimes she smiles with her eyes.

Loves her daddy!

Zia celebrated her two-month birthday with a trip to Northwest Trek to see the bears, wolves, elk, sheep, and owls with her friends Sophie and Eva, 11-month-old twins.

Also, this week, Zia took her first train trip to Portland to visit her grandparents, great grandparent, aunts, uncles and friends.  She was held by a lot of new people and had a great time.  Her mommy was awfully busy tending to her and didn't get a ton of photos, but others did manage to get a few:
