New Toy

Thanks, Grandma H. Alathea's enjoying her new toy. Now we've got it attached to her crib, and she likes playing with it in bed a lot.


Whenever a new baby toy comes out for Alathea to play with, Sophia is even more excited about it than the baby.

Quotable

After playing the game "Memory" with her stuffed monkey, Belle, Sophia happily announced, "I got all the matches. Belle didn't even get one!" Poor Belle.

6 Months Old

Here's Alathea's first time in a highchair and first taste of rice cereal--and a taste may be all it was. It's hard to tell how much she actually swallowed. We got more down when we tried again later in the day.

It's feast or famine with Sophia. Most of the time she comes into contact with an electronic device (Skype on the computer or the telephone, for example), she clams up. For some reason she's shouting on this video. Not sure why? :-)

Spinning a Yarn

Sophia tells great stories at times, but so far I haven't managed to record my favorite specimens, and my 3-year-old doesn't do retakes. But here's a taste of Sophia spinning a yarn...

Just Hangin' at Home

Alathea loves being in the bath. She goes nuts the minute she hits the water--splashing droplets all over the bathroom and writhing around like a bug on his back. It's hilarious but hard to capture without indecent exposure, so this picture will have to suffice.
