Zoo a la carte

Last weekend we took Aaliyah to the Milwaukee Zoo. It was the first time this year and was Zoo a la carte which was a lot of fun with 25 different food vendors and music! It was the perfect day to be outside.

Sting ray exhibit, she liked it because of the water.

They were pretty slimy

Aaliyah with a baby gorilla

It was so cute, she fed them one piece at a time instead of holding out her hand. She kept dropping them, but she had fun.

Ozaukee County Fair

A couple weeks (Aug. 4) we officially became members of First Immanuel Church. After we went out to breakfast with Tom and Cindy. Then in the afternoon went to the Ozaukee County Fair. It was a great day! Here are some pics from the fair.

Feeding the goats....she thought it was so funny!

Two Year Portraits

There were so many good pictures, hard to chose just a couple to post. My little girl is looking so grown up! At her 2 yr checkup, she weighs 27 lbs and healthy as can be. She only had to go to the doctor for the routine checkups which is awesome! We're still working on using words, but she is definitely improving. She finally says dada!! It's the cutest thing. Everything is mine or mamas or dadas. She says please so cute! Had a couple terrible two tantrums. We started to potty train, but not really pushing it. Aaliyah sleeps in her big bed now in her new room, she loves it! We do have to lay with her before she goes to sleep. Dad spoiled her by letting her fall asleep on the couch, so we're working on that. Her favorite things are bubbles and the swing; anything outside. She is still a pretty good eater, loves her rice and juice, go-gurt and cheese.

Aaliyah is 2

Happy Birthday to our little princess Aaliyah. For her 2nd birthday, she had a strawberry shortcake themed party. At this age she's really not into anything specific, so I just picked it because it's super cute! We had her party the day before her birthday and who would've thought it'd be in the 60's! So, this year we did everything inside. It was really nice and she had a lot of fun opening gifts and eating her icecream cake. She got a play tent, dr. kit, leapfrog pad, potato head to name a few.
