Today's New Skill: Clapping

She's been interesting in hand-clapping, but hasn't really figured it out on her own until now.

Next question... will she still be able to do it tomorrow?


We're busy packing and preparing for our holiday trip to NY! Hopefully the weather is favorable for air-travel. We are so excited about spending Christmas in the Adirondacks with G'ma & G'pa King and Dan & Christina, too!!! YAY!!

Sing-A-Long

Friends invited us to join them at the Library for Spanish Sing-A-Long.



As soon as we sat down, Liv scrambled out of my lap & crawled to the center of the circle... I was like, uh, Liv... notice how most the other kids are sitting with their mommies?

Did she take the shaker from somebody, or was it given to her... I missed it...

A Storm in Alameda


Alameda had Weather today!!
Hail! Thunder! Rainbow!
Yipee!!




Liv bee-lined to the open door to check out the curious new situation



A little unsure at first...




A little more inspection



A little more observation



And back to usual temperment... Cool! Did you see this?
... And yes, she does have paint on her face...



We were doing "Arts & Crafts" at the Paint-Your-Own place.

Missing Dad?

Jeff was at the power plant in Minnesota, I walked in to see Liv with her face stuffed in a ball cap Jeff had given her.

I thought: "aw... she misses Dad... "

then I thought: "nah... she's probably just trying to chew on the embroidery or something. "
But then, upon closer observation...
She was trying to put the cap ON!
I guess I better start getting used to these surprises!
