Petting Zoo

Arya and I are currently up in Iowa. The other day, Aunt Shannon, Gramma Suzanne and I took Arya to the Olsen Park zoo. (It is really only around 15 animals, but they call it a zoo.) We had a lot of fun petting the baby goats and even feeding them. Gramma Suzanne had goats jumping on her trying to get the food. Eventually the staff had to hold away the bigs ones so Arya could feed the little ones and not get trampled. Also, one of the goats tried to eat Arya's skirt and my shirt sleeve! It was a fun adventure!

Gerber

We are going to be entering Arya in the Gerber Baby contest. Entry closes on the 26th. We are entering her this weekend. I am unable to pick which photo to use, so I am having you help me! In the comments please tell me which picture I should enter.
Now they want "the happiest, healthiest" face. So which of these pictures demonstrates that the best?

Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Arya can now point out her nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and belly button. She can also do the same on Mommy and Daddy. Now we are working on feet
I often sing "Head and Shoulders" with her pointing out the body parts as we go ending with "eyes, ears, mouth and nose." We have a book from the doctor that has the whole song.

Bedtime Story

The other night Bradley read Arya a bed time story. I had never heard such a rousing, exciting version of  "Green Eggs and Ham." It may not have been relaxing but it was endearing.



Google Fiber

Google Fiber is coming to Kansas City. If you want to know more about it click here. You have to have a certain number of sign ups in your neighborhood to get it. We need a few more (9 as of this morning) so on Saturday Bradley and Arya went out to promote it to our neighbors. They decked out our wagon, wore google shirts and Daddy did Arya's hair (As the picture clearly demonstrates.)
