Snoozing is what Zias do Best

Happy Birthday Zia!

Happy Birthday to big-girl Zia!  Our family also sold our Camas house and closed on a new house yesterday, and the house signing festivities ended long after she was asleep, but we did our fair share of celebrating too with a party at preschool and an out-to-dinner with dad.  Yesterday was actually just the beginning of four days of birthday fun, with parties and celebrations in true Leo style - just like her mama!

The other day she told the "story of her birth," using photos from the photo book I made to commemorate her first year.  She did a pretty good job with the key facts (such as: "when I was born, I was shiny" and listing the people who held her when she was a baby.  She mistook her lobster costume for an Elmo suit - understandably).

I thought this was a cool definition of Zia - found it on the back of a coaster her Gamma got for her probably 3 years ago!



Big girl on the swings!

She has been into hiking lately.  Here she is hiking at Tryon Creek park.


Here Zia is playing on the play structure at the park right next to her new house.  We are hoping this is our last move for quite a while.
