Zoe, Lilia and Lev: February 2011

Friday, February 25, 2011

When I asked Lilia to smile and say cheese she jumped down off of her chair so she could properly pose for this picture. This is the face she made for the camera. She's turning into a little ham just like her sister. In the past month or so Lilia has really started to say a lot! She's speaking in a lot of short (3 or 4 words) sentences these days and saying a lot of new words every day. There are still a few sounds that she can't make but her speech is getting more clear as her teeth come in (she still only has a few teeth!). Her favorite foods are sushi (just veggie for now), graham crackers and grapes and her favorite things to play with are her babies and her cars. She also loves drawing with crayons, doing laps on the slide at the playground and bubble baths (which she now demands each night as soon as she is done with her dinner). She also loves to sing songs and to do just about anything that Zoe is doing.

Baby

Lilia loves her baby and loves feeding the baby or taking the baby shopping in her shopping cart or for a stroll in her doll stroller.

We visit the California Academy of Sciences regularly but this was the first time we made it to the amazing living roof exhibit.

Peppa Pig ears

Grammy is visiting for the weekend and brought Zoe a Peppa Pig workbook. They've been busy doing all sorts of Peppa related activities including making these pig ears. Peppa is an English cartoon character and we're just crazy about her.
