Wild Child

I begged Mommy to let me sport a mohawk and she did!

The Cat and I

So, "Uncle" Willie and I have a love-hate relationship. I love him, he hates me. Unless I'm eating and then he sidles up beneath my high-chair for what Mommy calls the "dropsies buffet." I don't know what that means but I do know that I love Willie. I love giving him 'pancake hugs' and laughing at him and, as you can see in these videos, I think he likes playing with me a little bit too.

I like to play on the stairs with Willie. I try to get him to come up to the bars by throwing my toys down at him. Also, sometimes Mommy brings home these cool plastic things. The sun sparkles when it hits them and I can bend them all over and they don't break! The best thing is that Uncle Willie likes them as much as me! He even knows how to grab them from me. He's the best.

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!
