Zahara Turns 3!

Zahara and AngelinaThere’s a birthday in Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s household: daughter Zahara turns 3 today!

Pitt and Jolie (who rocked the red carpet at last night’s Critics’ Choice Awards) adopted Zahara in Ethiopia in 2005 (her name means “flower” in Swahili).

When they adopted the girl — whom they affectionately call “Z” — “she was 6 months old and not 9 lbs,” Jolie said at the time. “Her skin, you could squeeze it, it stuck together.

“It was terrifying,” Jolie added. Shortly after Brangelina took the baby under their wings, she “gained 6 lbs. … We are calling her chubby,” Jolie said in 2005. “She’s, you know, she’s just a totally different baby.”

Z’s now feistier than ever, Jolie has said. When the family welcomed daughter Shiloh in 2006, Jolie told Anderson Cooper: “Z’s a little jealous because she’s still a little girl.”
