P.SThose of you who aren't interested in pictures of my kid might want to head away now. I promise, pretty much all that is going to be in this post is Z. For those of you who like knitting combined with children, I will say that all the pictures also feature a hand knit hat. But mostly this is about Z enjoying a kite flying afternoon with her father.
Last year she was almost afraid of the kite. This year, she wasn't happy until she got to fly it herself. She had so much fun with Daddy and Grandpa while doing this, and she was so excited when she got to hold onto the string reel all by herself. She watched John intently when he adjusted the kite to try to get it to do different things. She spent the weekend telling us that she wanted to fly the kite. She loved the process of figuring out how the reel worked and took it so seriously when she got to hold it her self. Watch out world! Here comes another engineer.
P.S. to no one in particular, the jean jacket is from BabyGap --and is a size 4-5 for a little girl. More proof that the toddler will not be with us much longer. I'm such a sucker for little jean jackets. This child/jacket combination got more than a few positive comments. I can't help but feel that every now and again I do okay with her wardrobe.

She looks adorable! I use to love flying kites with my dad.
Very cute. I don't think I've ever gotten to see or use one of the kites with the big reel like that. It was always the cheap kites ($3 in a plastic bag) that never flew terribly well or were very sturdy.
What great pictures! She's beautiful!
Oh, my gosh! She sure doesn't look like a baby anymore! What a cutie pie. :)
What a beautiful child. Little jean jackets from Gap are the very best; I used to like sewing those cute appliques on the pocket flaps and on the underside of the collar (little hidden surprises.)
She's adorable! Love the hat!
What a face on that child. . .
What great pictures! No, Z is not much longer for the toddler world, is she? It looks as though you all had a great day. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, she's really growing up, and SO intent!
Wow what a beautiful grand daughter. Her pictures just make me smile on the inside as well as the outside.
She is beautiful! So glad I got to meet the family when you were in Ann Arbor and visiting Grandma at the office.
Oh my gosh! One word: precious!
Your daughter is just beautiful. What an expressive little face! The hat's not bad, either :)
OMG! She is soooo big! Time flies. Wait... does this mean I've aged too? That can't be, right?
I can't believe she's so grown-up, and what a FASHION PLATE, and those EYES, that SKIN, that MOUTH! Watch out world, Ms. Z's a-comin'! :)
