One of Heather's very favorite songs is "Popcorn Popping." So, for your viewing pleasure:
Oh man, she cracks me up!

Father's Day Craft
5:27 pm
Using an idea I found on Pinterest, Heather and I made these SUPER cool works of art for Kyle for Father's Day:
They are 8x10" canvases that Heather finger-painted on. I used scotch tape to mark off the designs first, then let her have fun. After it all dried, I pulled the tape off and voilà!
I just needed to show you guys because I felt so fantastic about these. I even made my own finger paints! And I think they came out marvelous. They are now on display in Kyle's office. Yay!
Habitot Children's Museum
5:17 pm
We were able to get free passes (through our library) to Habitot Children's Museum in Oakland, so we went to go see what it was all about.
There was a big fire-fighter exhibit out front:
Heather loved this climbing wall, but got stuck at the top and couldn't get back down again. Fortunately, they are smart and the net panels just unscrew.
They have a great big water play area:
And an art room. One whole wall was for painting on, so it was perfect for Heather:
It was a fun morning. Especially for free!
And now, a bonus picture from Kyle's birthday party. Heather's friend Emma is tucking her into her new (to us) toddler bed. (She doesn't sleep in it yet, it's just out for getting used to.)
Adorable, right? Love these girls.
Zoo

We took a little family trip to the Oakland Zoo a while back. Enjoy some pictures!
There was a little play area with animal statues to climb on.
Heather picked up a leaf while we were walking around, and she loved it and cherished it until...
...a goat ate it.
Heather forgave it, though, and I think the goats were her favorite part of the zoo, since she could walk around amongst them and pet them. They're just her size!
And now, artistic animal photos by Kyle:
We had a lot of fun!
Critters
4:04 pm
I think it's high time y'all became familiarized with Heather's crib friends. In this first picture, she's asleep under the blanket ("gankee") I made for her (tied fleece, nothing exotic, y'all).
And in this second picture, she was hanging out on the couch several weeks ago with a cold. To help her feel cozy, I brought all her buddies out. From left, we have Eeyore (used to be "Oree," but is now "Oreo"), Henrietta ("Etta"), and Heather Bunny ("Heh-Bunny").
Since she started putting herself to sleep, these guys are a very important part of her life. Once, when she had a cold, I put Heather Bunny under her head as a pillow, to help relieve her congestion so she could breathe more easily. Ever since, she requests a Heh-Bunny pillow when I put her down. She just thinks it's awesome. And Henrietta and Eeyore must be snuggled in tight under each arm, then her blanket laid on top. Then I turn her projector on (it puts animals up on the ceiling and plays music), give her her binkies, and she's good to go.
