Markers

This above picture is Linnea looking at a lil chicken in a bookstore. Yes, you read that correctly. A little chicken in a bookstore. This bookstore also has cats roaming around, birds chirping in the cages, a ferret in cage and I think some lizards too and probably more! We have only been to The Wild Rumpus two times so its hard to remember. But it is FANTASTIC! It is right by Lake Harriet in Mpls so the two times we have gone we end up going on a walk around the lake as well. They have storytime every Monday morning so we headed there two weeks ago and had a great time! She of course chases the chicken around. The girl loves animals.
It got so cold we had to put her back in her fleece sleeper last week!
Since it has been so cold and rainy we have to keep ourselves occupied inside. She still loves her teapot she got for her bday and has figured out how to turn the music on and hide things in the top and open it up and then gets very excited that whatever she put in there is still in there!
so cute!


Linnea and daddy have a blast playing together! He can get her to laugh like no other! As you can see here is he chasing her with a tshirt on his head. She loves it and wanted something on her head too!
Just some cute shots of our happy lil girl! She hasnt said too many more words other than diaper yet but she is trying. She is really getting smart. She recognizes when we are getting ready to go somewhere and gets her shoes. She knows when we have arrived home in the car and points to the house and squeals. She knows when she is done eating or riding in the stroller and puts her hands on the latch like she is trying to get out. She hands us things when we ask and she puts things in the garbage or trash when we ask!

Here is a close up of her with her shorts on her head while playing with daddy!

And a bowl on her head below.
She is really into trying to put things on her head.

Here she is "helping" daddy in the kitchen.


Along with doing laps of the house, being chased by daddy, taking all of her toys out, looking at books, riding in our new jogger, bringing things to the fridge and garbage for us (which is so cute and makes me thing we will have a good helper in the future), she also likes to put things in one place and then move them to a new, "better" place.
Here is an example.
She first put all these markers on one couch only to realize they would be much better on the love seat.


Whew that was a long blog with lots of info and pictures! Thanks for reading til the end!
Hope you enjoyed it!

I'm glad to see that your house looks just like mine after a little one has been playing! :) It's funny how they have these specific ideas as to where they want things. At least she didn't color on the couch once she moved them (Dylan has some artwork underneath one of our cushions...) I'm glad we were able to meet up yesterday- that was fun!
