Nila and a New Camera

We have a new video camera, so expect lots of new Nila videos.

This video is of Nila just doing Nila things outside of our apartment.

Nila Learns to Drive

One of Nila's new favorite things is putting the key in the ignition. She says "Nila turn it. Nila turn it."

A couple of times last week she actually did turn it!

Then she frantically tried to put it in drive. Maybe I should stop letting her have the keys...

From Nila's Second Birthday

Angie and I took Nila to the zoo today for her second birthday. Grandma Kay - the original Nila - met us there and we had a great day. The weather was beautiful and we beat the crowds by heading out early. Plus, Grandma Kay is a zoo insider, so we got to ride things for free!

After the zoo, we got ready for the Tuesday night birthday party. We knew a Tuesday night party would limit the guest list, but we all had a good time and it didn't push Nila past her limits (still in bed by 8!).

See more pictures below.

Good to Go. Park.

I got the following message from Angie while I am at work today:

So Nila just got her shoes on, gathered her Dora bag, and was standing at the kitchen gate. I asked what was up and she said "good to go park"

So, Angie's going to take her to the park.

Update: I got the following set of messages when they returned. It seems Nila didn't stay at the park too long.

She didn't even stay at the park for long... just long enough to touch everything and swing on the swing once.

Yeah. When we got back, she went to the table, ate some more of her lunch, then brought it to the coffee table, ate some more...then sat with me for half a minute to read that parenting magazine... I said something about her being sleepy, and she got up, got her purple blanket and laid down on the floor.

I had to literally pick her up to take her upstairs.

She is asleep.
