19 Months

Ada is more like 20 months, but who’s counting :)

Ada is one energetic little girl. She may take a short break for sesame street, lunch and a nap, but on a normal day she prefers to play, run, play, and run some more. She increases her vocabulary on a daily basis and has learned to jump with both feet off the ground. She started saying her name too. She alternates saying Ada and “I” when she wants to do something. Ada loves slides, preferably the taller, scarier ones and does not want help going down them :)

These were taken after the zoo, enjoying ice cream on a hot day!

Vancouver Zoo

Oh look, more zoo pictures! :) I believe this is the 4th zoo we have been to in the last 9 months…maybe we’ll be taking a break now :)

I visited this zoo way back during Trinity years and had some good memories (like the tiger feedings) with Todd and friends. This time around with the kiddos was fun too, although a little crazy. I loved the open, park-like, feel of it. I also never knew some male giraffes change colors as they age, the black patches were beautiful!
