22 months

	Happy (belated) 4th of July!	from Mt. Wilson
	Z turned 22 months on the 4th of July. To celebrate, we got an annual pass to the Long Beach Aquarium.  The aquarium is one of her favorite places to go.  The aviary was a pleasant surprise!  Z was a little afraid of getting so close to the birds, but as evident in the pic she quickly got over her fear.  I, on the other hand, was on high alert the entirely time since these birds were super aggressive-never quite sure if they were coming over to drink or attack my eyes.... Now that Z is a 22 month old big girl: became even more of a parrot: will try to repeat what I say. says "bye bye!!!" angrily when she's mad at me or telling me to get lost.  The same phrase is used also (minus the anger) when she wants to take care of business undisturbed. when asked how old she is, will say " two fejaeifeea....." uses the Ipad like a pro.  moved from the bench on the carousel to the actual horse ride! firs time riding on a horse on a carousel!
