A preview of things to come.

"What is on the computer screen is really interesting."
"What did you say mom?"

The girl giggles

Once.
Twice.
There she goes!

Activities other than Emma?

Today, remarkably was my first day "out"- doing recreational activities other than Emma watching or work. It was a beautiful blue-bird day and it seems I can still remember how to tele.

Sid has been engaged in weekly fly-tying "outings" for awhile now; after 6pm evening fly-crafting gatherings are easier to swing than ski days...I like the artistry in this shot; evidence of the love he has for his work, and tarpon.

After noon grumps

Emma appears to be a morning person: all smiles until around 3pm. Then life becomes a bit less happy. During this period, she seems to prefer to be left to her own devices in her swing with her music; where she will sit content until bed. Often we want her to play with us during this period.
She complies because she loves us, but under duress.

Morning Smiles

This appears to be the honeymoon period. Emma wakes up around 8am. Happy. Smiling at us and the world. If we turn on the mobile, she will do her morning run and happy girations for at least 1/2 hour. I think it is because she loves her sleeping outfit.

Note from the world of G-diapers

We just spent $150 on Mr. Rotorooter because of our attempts to be more green. Seems our plumbing was clogged up with g-diapers. Darn it.

Message: no more g-diapers down the circa 1920s toilet pipe. To the garbage! Which isn't the end of the world but is still a bummer.

Smile

Emma is a bit of a deadpan for the camera. Her expressions, or lack there of, remind me of the Russian Tzar family portraits. Very serious. So, we absolutely have to post the smiling ones when we get them.
