At Kubota gardens on a sunny day with cousin Kepler

Birthday cake

The first cake Liana really enjoyed.
Chocolate chiffon with chocolate whipped cream frosting and strawberries on the side.

At the conservatory

Okay, I realize Liana is only 21 months, so she and and Jaal are both 21 for a few days.

Jaal will be 22 on Tuesday. And Liana turned 22 months today.

Snow again

Jaal and Melinda wanted to go to the snow with Liana, so this time we bundled her better and she didn't get too cold. Mainly she liked watching people from her cozy sled.

Happy Valentine's Day

More photos of her Wednesday class

It's a co-op preschool meeting once a week for two hours. She loves it.

Smiling for the camera

Liana just started to dress up and make funny faces for the camera. Here she is with Aunt Sue Ellen and in the morning looking out the window at the birds in her robe, glasses and hat.

The snow is all gone. It's 50 degrees and raining. But isn't she cute with her glasses and the doll that happens to look a lot like her, our little Swedish princess.

More snow fun.

Lazy mom's snow play

When it early in the morning and it snows, bring it inside and stay in your robe. :-)

Liana visits the snow.

We went to Snoqualmie pass. At first she was a bit hesitant to experience snow and didn't want to get out of the sled. Later, she liked going down little hills and watching Snowy. Then she got too cold and cried. We had to sing Old MacDonald as we carried her in the backpack to the car. Stopping at the pancake house to warm up was probably her favorite part.

First parade. It's cold out but she is warm.

She took no notice of the parade nor people but seemed to enjoy the part of the walk she was awake for. This is her just waking up from the screaming crowd.
