A little bit of Za

March 23 2017- I figured I needed to jump on here quick and put up a little post about our little cupcake Ziah. She recently turned 18 months. How can it be? Time for another? Haha, Andy says not a chance.

Ziah currently weighs in at roughly 22 pounds and is roughly 32 inches. She thinks she is quite comical these days. She is quite the talker which is so different from the twins. It seems (which they did) that they just started talking and are still learning. She is constantly saying "Mama, Mama." Neither Zoe nor Zayne did that, they do now! She has signed "more" for awhile now. I recently went through a bunch of sign language that I know and that I had taught the twins, not thinking she was paying attention. But, she was.. as I know can go through it all with her and she knows all the signs, "please, more, thank you, eat, drink, sorry, no, etc." She is so smart. Well, that and she tries so hard to keep up with her Brother and Sister. I am sure it won't be long before she passes them. 

She is such a complete joy. So easy. The best eater and the best sleeper in the house. She goes down for naps and bedtime the easiest. Lately she has been a little grumpy. As Zoe says, "Ziah Grumpy" or "Ziah mad." I thought maybe a ear infection but turns out those ears are clear and then maybe teeth but she has all her teeth. The other night she was grumpy and fussy. We sat down for dinner and she sat on my lap because she was fussing. She sat and ate about 6 big shrimp. Shoved the whole shrimp in her mouth. She couldn't get enough. Andy says (laughing) "Maybe she is just hungry." 

Blowing Mom a kiss. 

She is little miss independent also. Although she really loves to be with her MaMa (and secretly I don't mind). But, I think she realize how much work the twins are and how needy they can be and she looks at us like "don't worry about me, I am fine." Like, we were just in Red lodge. We spent a couple mornings swimming. Zoe and Zayne want you holding them, or they want this or that, but either way it's always something and not just with swimming. But, not Ziah. We put her little floaties on and she would just float by herself around the pool with out us holding onto her. Zayne at one point had a little freak out moment when he realized that no one was holding onto Ziah. It was so sweet to see him so scared and afraid for his little sister. 

So, that's Ziah. Sweet as can be. She always has her eye on Zayne. Tries to be a climber but as Andy says "she is the worlds worst climber." Loves to play with Zoe. And recently her new thing is to copy you. I truly, truly can't imagine our lives without her. Like I always say, she is the best gift we never asked for. I joke that she should of been a colicky one because she is so sweet she makes you want more.
Love you to pieces sweet little one.
