All about Zada

Zada is a little sweetheart, with an opinion. I can already tell she has a little attitude. I'm afraid her tantrums will be much worse when she's two. She already trys to play Ted and I against each other. Seriously. When I get after her, (for example for throwing food at the dinner table) before she starts crying, she looks over at Ted. As if to say, 'Do you see how mean she is?' Then she looks back at me and wails. We still love her. We are just afraid of her growing up!

Zada loves to pester and take down her older brother. Good thing he is such a nice guy and doesn't REALLY fight back. When Ted and Troy are wrestling, she gets right in there with them. She loves her stuffed animals. And in the evenings after her bath she heads to the bookshelf to do a little reading in the buff. She is a great eater and there are very few things she won't eat, among them baby food. She is officially on solids. Which is great until it comes to the diapers. . .

We went to the doctor this morning and Zada is 21lbs. 4 oz (55th percentile). She is 29 1/2 inches tall (65th percentile). She did really well for getting 5 shots! So sad! But she is happily eating some crackers at the moment. She has four teeth, and is not just walking, but running now. She likes to climb up on things, and is a little dancer when we get a beat going. She recognizes the words, Dada, Troy, and shoes. She won't leave on headbands anymore, so I have to do her hair in the morning. Hence, she gets pony tails a lot. She is our beautiful baby Zada and we love her so much!
