happy double, zuzu!

newborn


 my sweet girl turned two years old on monday! we took her to the aquarium in chattanooga to celebrate. it was the perfect weather so we got there a little early and played in the water outside the aquarium until they opened. zu especially loved seeing the butterflies, penguins and turtles. we took her out for a burger and icecream for lunch, then went to the aquarium for another hour, then went back home. zu had such a good day she sang to us the entire drive back. then we had to go to bed a little early on account of having sung through naptime! zu is loving this birthday week--her party is on saturday, so she's been singing happy-double everyday.

it really is hard to believe that my baby is two now--these two years have gone so quickly! life with kids is life in warpspeed. i'm so happy to be zu's mommy--i couldn't ask for a sweeter toddler.

  2. Happy birthday, Zuzu! And, please, enlighten me on how you bathe a toddler and an infant together! Right now, Tyson bathes Milo and I bathe Linus while Milo is getting his pajamas on and then we all read a story together. It's all we've been able to come up with.

    2. Aw sweet! I don't think our bath tub is big enough for that. It sounds precious though. :)
