She is a Hawaiian princess (Mommy's from when I was her age). This is her only dress up item so far - though she makes due with bathing suits, hats and Daddy's shoes. Here she is with her camera (you've seen her photography already...)
She can nurse her baby like the best of them.
She can raise one eyebrow. We've known she could wink for sometime now (like a year), but who knew she shared this hereditary trait with me, my brother and Pops? Something Dalia can do that Daddy cant...and now that she knows how, she loves to do it.
She can draw! Here is the latest installment of her faces.Her new found love is mesmerizing enough to post a video - watercolors!
And finally, bilingual counting. She can now count to 13 in English (20 with a little help because for some reason she always jumps back to 7 after 13), identify and say her ABC's, and is learning some Spanish and French. I also notice that she signs still. Many of the signs she learned before she could talk stuck around. Last night we were talking about giraffes (which is about the cutest thing to hear her say) and she did the sign. If she can't get my attention or is really excited about food, she'll sign "more".
Whew, we got a smartie! We are so proud of her playing on her bikes and in the dirt; and hide-and-seek; and making stuff up; playing piano; and her loving empathy and interest in others; and being a total goofball; and her love of swimming; and her directional sensibility (she's better at directions than I am already, thanks to her Daddy's genes). Anyway, these are just a few of the things we are blessed to get to watch her do everyday so I thought I'd share them here.

What a rockstar! But my favorite, the best of the best, that raised eyebrow and funny face. It will come in useful for years to come. :) Love. That. Kid.
Bragging rights are well deserved- Go Dalia! Super cute blog entry. That water color thing looks fun, I may have to try it with Luke (in only a diaper, of course!)
