Zuri is growing up so quickly! She is really into modeling these days. When we go out shopping, we always wipe the shopping cart handles and kid seat before placing Zuri into the shopping cart. For Christmas Zuri got a doll stroller to push around. A couple weeks ago I had given Zuri a wipe to play with, and she proceeded to wipe the handle of the stroller with the wipe! I laughed so hard. A few days later we were eating dinner and had a napkin near her at the table. She would pick up the napkin, wipe her mouth, get a drink from the sippy cup, wipe her mouth, and eat something. She repeated the process several times. Whoever taught her to be neat and tidy? Lol. After dinner we always rinse her hands and face off at in the kitchen sink, well, she now goes straight to the hand towel and dries her hands. She wants to do everything herself--it is so fun to watch as she grows into this little independent person!
Her favorite time is bath time. All we have to do is say the word "bath" and she is racing up the stairs. She has also become a social butterfly. If there are other kids in the area, J and I become non-existent. Tonight was a perfect example. We had a wedding reception to attend but it was for adults only, so we had a baby-sitter all lined up for Zuri. This morning the sitter called to let us know that she wouldn't be able to watch Zuri due to illness in the house. Our neighbor was kind enough to watch her for us, even though they had plans this evening--they were able to push them back a bit. Anyhow, we dropped Zuri off and she went right inside (she had already caught sight of the kids) without a fuss. When we went to pick her up, she was excited to see us, showing us all the nifty toys they had, but she didn't want to leave. Funny kid.
On another note, all you who know me, know that I am not an expert in the culinary field. I detested cooking growing up, and still don't have a fondness for it now. At work Schelley brought in little mini cheesecakes which were oh-so delightful. One of my other coworkers asked for the recipe, and when I heard how easy (*ahem, I mean difficult ;-) ) they are, I got the recipe as well and have been itching to try them. We had Sunday dinner at the Lucero's last week and I offered to bring the dessert. I made the cheesecakes and Josh made homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream. They both turned out heavenly. I even took a picture of my masterpiece!
Zuri got to spend some time bonding with her great-grandpa Lucero. He was her favorite person of the night, even eclipsing her Auntie Shawnie (whom she preferred over me all night--she loves her Auntie Shawnie).
By the end of the night, Zuri was worn out and fell asleep within minutes of getting into the car. Precious moments!
