Zana's friend Julia came over on December 18th for a little play date (I know, I know - it is January now - it has taken me a little while to update the blog). They had a great time together. Zana and Julia were born only a couple of days apart. They are both getting so big!
Zana loves her Papa. She lights up when he comes in the room. Here are a few pics of Zana and Papa spending time together.
Grammy and Jay-Pa bought Zana a Jungle Crawl and Cruise gym for Christmas. She loves it! It lights up and plays music when she touches the toys that hang from it. She has figured out how to drop balls onto the ball ramp. She also likes to drop her pacifier onto the ball ramp and into the hippo and elephant's ears. She is pulling herself up onto her knees and into a half-standing position. She likes to pull herself up on her Jungle Gym so that she can look in the mirror and play with the toys that are on the top of the gym. She also likes to lick the monkey and the lights. The poor baby had pink eye the night that we put her gym together. You can tell how swollen her left eye is in the pictures below. However, even pink eye couldn't keep her from playing with her new toy. She loves it!
We are taking a Parents and Me swim class in February, so we went ahead and bought Zana her very first swimsuit. She knows that her swimsuit is something special because she squeals and kicks her legs every time that we put it on her. She is definitely gonna be a little swimmer.

My poor baby girl almost threw up when she tasted peas for the first time. I tried them, and I can't say I blame her. Here's a little video of all the excitement - and a video of Zana washing down the horrible taste with a little water.
Everyone knows that Zana loves to take a bath . . . and suck on her toes . . . and play with Bailey. Here are a couple of videos of Zana enjoying all three.
Zana got some new shoes, so naturally she decided to taste them as soon as we left the store.
New Year's Eve was my grandparents' (Zana's great-grandparents) 70th Wedding Anniversary. A lot of family came into town to help them celebrate. We all ate and celebrated at the 50 Yard Line. Zana had fun watching everyone in their "party hats".
Zana had a wonderful first Christmas. We celebrated Christmas in Lubbock with my family and then traveled to Abilene the weekend after Christmas to celebrate with Jonathan's family. Here are some pics:
Aunt Winnie bought Zana a doll with a pacifier - she didn't know what to think at first because the doll was bigger than her . . . 
. . . and tasting them
Here is a little video of Zana traveling backwards in her Princess Walker that she got for Christmas.
