So, as we have noted before when D was learning to roll over, it seems once she figures something out, she's ready to move on to the next thing. She went from this:


to this:




and this is just so you all can hear how she babbles when she doesn't know the camera is on (it's so hard to get candid shots with her so Mark had to be stealth about it, hence the coffee table action).

shiner update and out with Grammy

We took Grammy out to dinner tonight - we went back to Russell St. as Juli cannot get enough pulled pork these days. Doesn't Grammy look great? She just got back from Peru, the Amazon. Took the opportunity to do a shiner update as well. Turning that yellowish old bruise color now. But don't worry folks, there's sure more to come. Just today she wacked her forehead on the rocking chair. Who uses a rocking chair to try and stand anyway? She face plants daily now. Our nerves....our nerves....

shiner

Dalia made contact with the edge of the coffee table yesterday. Here's a shot of her first shiner (much more impressive in person). I was out seeing a client and Mark called to tell me. While the report is that she wailed and cried for a long time, by the time he called me she was back to her old self, playing and screaming away. I like the first one, cuz she looks tuff.

more from our visit with Jim and Ali

Here are a few more fun photos from our time with aunt and uncle. Dalia loved them! She had no problem identifying Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Ali by the end of the weekend. Also, she is a mad waver now - waving at everything from people to grass and flowers. Also, she is doing something that resembles clapping (though it looks more like wax on, wax off). And, she is in the beginning stages of crawling, which we have some killer video of on Ali's camera. And finally, this child is screaming just like you might expect a little girl to scream. It's her new favorite way of communicating, especially with the cats.

Aunt Ali and Uncle Jimmy are here

Dalia's aunt and uncle are here. We went to Multnomah Falls yesterday and took these rad photos with Ali's kick ass camera.




Later, we went to Russell St. BBQ (Juli experienced this for the first time, now that she's a carnivore). Boy was it good.

hangin with thom and steph

FINALLY, photos with thom and steph don't include crying pouts. We had such a great time hangin' out with you guys. Thanks for the break. Dalia loves cardboard, just like cats.

post naptime

We love having Daddy greet Dalia when she is done with her naps. She loves it too. Here are some classic shots with Daddy.
