A few firsts

I'm still trying to catch up on the last few months of blogging, so this post will be long. Just a few of Marla's latest "firsts" that I wanted to share.

 

First donut with sprinkles.

 

 

First visit to the Minnesota Zoo. Trying to join the penguins in their tank. 

 

Checking out the tropics with Auntie Alisa and Grandma.

 

It was one of the many below-zero days around here, so the semi-outdoor Minnesota Trail exhibit was chilly. Actually, it was only chilly for those of us not bundled up in a down jacket and being pushed around in a stroller.

 

This actually wasn't Marla's first time at Mediterranean Cruise Cafe to watch my sister bellydance, but it was the first time it really made an impression.

 

She now talks about Auntie Alisa's dancing and pretty dress almost daily.

 

First bubble bath!

 

 

First time making and decorating cut-out cookies for Valentine's Day.

 

 

First Valentine exchange at daycare.

 

First time helping clean up after she emptied an entire box of tissues all over her room.

 

 

First time finger painting at home. Might be the last...

 

First Oreo cookie. She needed no prompting to break apart the halves and eat the cream out of the center. That's my girl!
