The irony that her nickname is Zee-Zee, and she is the Queen of 23 Minute Naps is not lost on us, but we're telling ourselves God gave her those big blues so they could sparkle as much as possible. Sleep is negotiable.
It took 11 months, but we can finally see her two little teeth that popped through at the end of last month. She's already quite the little meat eater. She loves hot dogs and chicken nuggets, roast and any chicken we have for dinner. Berries of all kinds are her favorite, and she eats cuties by the handful everyday. Less noticeable than her teeth is the tiny bit of hair growing just a little bit longer than the rest behind her ear. It's pretty sweet.
Zina continues to love clapping, especially for herself, and she puts her hand to her mouth to blow a kiss. She is known to pound on her tray when we're not moving fast enough, and she loves to do little head butts with Daddy.
If it's really quiet, and she's nowhere to be seen, you can usually find her standing up at a window to look outside or unraveling toilet paper in the bathroom. She lights up whenever you sit down to read her a book, and she loves standing up at the piano to reach for the keys. One of her favorite spots is on Daddy's lap at the piano. She even sang a few times too!
Somehow Zina always seems to find writing utensils and knows the general motion of coloring. Thankfully caps have been on and she hasn't figured out how to press hard enough to do any damage yet. Try taking it away, and she will let you know she does not like it one bit.
The dishwasher has become her new best friend, and she has a knack for pulling out spoons. She loves them so much that she took a whole nap while I was holding her while on a zoom call with my moms group, and she didn't let go before, during or after the nap. Taking away spoons gets the same response as taking away writing utensils.
We're all pretty taken with our little Zee. When I was pregnant with her, I ate a ton of sour patch kids. I'm not a fruity candy gal usually, but the craving was strong! It turns out we got a little sour patch girl of our own...she's got quite the punch to her personality, but we just can't seem to get enough!
