I am 18 months old....that's 1 1/2 you know!

On the train at the zoo

Birthday dinner photo shoot....

Yesterday was my 1.5 birthday.  To celebrate we all took a trip to the Austin Zoo.  I loved looking at the animals but did not get too close.  These days I am so very into letting everyone know my likes and dislikes.  I say "Yeah" a lot and I love to shake my head "No."  Like when asked if I am ready for bed, I now shake my head "No", or if asked if I want to get in the pool.  That's a big "No."  My favorite things are my dogs (I hug them and love on them all day long), pens (perhaps I shall become a writer?), and I am still a big fan of the cows.  I will say "Mama", "Dada", and a version of sister that sounds somewhat German: "Zestah".  Uncle John is "GaGA",  the dogs are "Gah", and there is a whole lot of pointing to let everyone know what I want or where I want to go.  I am still pretty good at getting them to carry me around as it is my favorite mode of transportation.  I love my Zestah like nothing else.  The minute she enters a room a run to her and give her a hug and a kiss (although sometimes that kiss turns into a bite).  I love to chase her around and generally just emulate her every move.  She is amazing.
