Ah, that was a great morning -- she just woke up in a stellar mood! "Hang on," I told Tina. "I have to grab the camera." She just sparkled, giggled, cooed and rolled around with a grin on her face while Daddy blew another whole roll of film.
Our little girl loves to climb. We turned our backs for a minute and found that she was starting up the ladder that Tina had gotten out to festoon the kitchen with Christmas decorations (the kitchen ceiling is one place we're pretty sure she can't get into when we're not looking). We decided to "spot" her and see how far she'd go.
We were pretty amused.
Ta-DA! She seemed pretty pleased with herself, as well.
Ah, nothing like a good bottle of Christmas Red. Thanks!
mmmph.. Yes, this was a good year.
We went with Bil and Nanc up to Nanc's folks, in Marine-On-Saint-Croix. It was Suzie and Duncan's first sledding experience. Duncan didn't care for it, and Suzie...well, she just didn't seem to CARE. But she didn't mind, either.
...and she carries real easy, too!
After a long, long walk on an unusually WARM (40+ degrees) February 20th, she passed out in her carseat on our way to supper. The thing in her mouth is a "baby-mirror" clip that I'd given her to play with.
