Zoo & Few

First time at the zoo last week! Went with mommy, daddy, Aunt Alethea, and cousins Jeff, Jasmine, Caeden, & Colton! Got to see so many animals! Got to ride the carousel, pet a goat, & ride a duck (a pretend duck)! We took lots of pictures & had so much fun!

I put Diella in her bed the other night, and I knew she was very tired, but noticed that she didnt close her eyes right away. A moment later, I hear her quietly singing! She was singing herself to sleep! It was the cutest thing I've ever heard! I went to grab my phone to videotape it (of course you wouldnt have been able to see anything, but at least hear her beautiful little lullaby)... and right as I grabbed it & walked in there, she must have fallen asleep, so I didnt get to record it, boo.... but I will always have that memory! And maybe she'll do it again someday! :)

It's cool enough when you teach your child something & they learn it, but when they pick up on things that you've never shown them how to do, I think that's even more amazing! (at least for as young as she is now)... When I call one of our kitties over to come play with us, I usually rub my thumb with my first to fingers, not really thinking about it, I've just always done that... well the other day, I sat Diella down in the yard & the kitties were nearby... she loves the kitties, smiles real big & just stares at them, hoping they'll come to her... but then I look over and she's rubbing her finger & thumb together!!! How does she notice that I did something That small, then connect it in her head that I'm trying to get the kitties to come, Then do it herself!!?? Genius baby! It was so cool to see! (and she's done it more than once) So cool!

There are a few other little things that she's done lately, that I make mental notes to put them up on here, but of course I never wrote them down (like I usually do) and I just cant recall them right now... so I apologize & will get them up as soon as they resurface!! :)
