Like Father, Like Daughter
For the most part everyone that meets Bee says she looks just like Cory. I think they are right! The other day Cory noticed that he was wearing similar color pants to Bee so I took some "twin" pictures! When Cory sticks out his belly they look exactly alike!
Tooth update: Two of the three new molars have started to appear above the gum lines. It's nice to see progress with her teeth because it helps to justify all of the pain/grumpiness Bee has been dealing with! Hopefully Bee will be feeling better today!

Bird Watching In Central Park
We took Bee to the zoo in Central Park! It is now my favorite zoo!
The rainforest is amazing! The animals are free to move and fly around. As you walk you have to make sure you don't hit a bird or get hit by a flying bird! It's so fun! Bee love it too! We wish Bee's Uncle Nate and Aunt Meg were here because they love birds!
A really neat part of this zoo is the Children's Zoo! There are many interactive things for the kids to do and the ground is paved with a spongy type material! We will be coming here a lot this year!
Bee saw so many birds and ducks at the zoo. I was amazed at all the unique types!
Bee and the birds! Bee's current way to sign "bird" is by placing one finger on her mouth.

15 Month Old Baby Bee
Sue Rock held a "Sewing for Haiti" event this past Monday. Tons of people came out to make clothes to send to Haiti. We were working on wrap skirts. I was working on sorting the fabric.
Video of Bee looking at her new book! Mimi and Papa made a book just for Bee! It has pictures of them with animals! Bee loves it!

Kale wins!
Amy and I went to our weekly visit to the Children's musuem. We couldn't resist putting the girls in their matching "Mimi" outfits! I like all of the fake trees inside the museum!
Baby Bee has grown so fast! When I first started taking Bee to the museum she could only look!
Question? What is Kale?
Answer! A dark leafy green vegetable!
Bonus!!! It is one of the best vegetables for you!
How: I like to eat it raw, steamed, sauteed, juiced, and dehydrated. But my favorite...
My friend Amy's own "Kale Chips!"
Her Kale Chips are dehydrated with maintains the ability to call it "raw" and coated with one of the amazing sauces that she has perfected!
Kale info from wikipedia.org
Nutritional value
Kale is considered to be a highly nutritious vegetable with powerful antioxidant properties; kale is considered to be anti-inflammatory.[2]
Kale is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. Because of its high vitamin K content, patients taking anti-coagulants such as warfarin are encouraged to avoid this food since it increases the vitamin K concentration in the blood, which is what the drugs are often attempting to lower.
Kale, as with broccoli and other brassicas, contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced), a chemical believed to have potent anti-cancer properties.[3]
Amy has her kale chips in many healthfood and other specialty shops around Brooklyn and Manhattan and she just started selling on Etsy. You can now get them delivered to your door! Check it out!
