Carla, the Explorer

I sometimes wonder what parents entertained their children with before the mass production of plastics. After watching Carla 'discover' her bellybutton recently, I realized that children in bygone eras were no less entertained than ours are today. I have turned a corner more than once and found her simply fascinated with this wondrous invention of God - her bellybutton.

Showers are more fun without water.

Carla proves in this post that her love for opening and shutting doors knows no bounds. Also, that showers can be more fun without water than with them. In the first video, watch as she learns the fun ways you can make your face change when you press it against glass and in the second, listen along to her myriad of babbles as she opens and shuts the shower door. Hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy her discovering new things each day.

Happy New Year!

Okay, so it's a little late, but I've been sick so cut a 15-month old a break. I've been busy lately, learning how to wave and say 'all done.' I am still working on "Daddy" which right now sounds more like "Ndan-deee." Mom let me wear some more pretty dresses and we even shared a tickle fight together! Mom is starting to bug Dad for a new camera so that she can catch my lightning-quick movements better. I say, 'the best things in life are worth working for.' :)














And they say they aren't getting me a cell phone until I can drive...yeah right!














Blowing kisses with Mommy.














Tickle fight!
