Guess the baby food

Guess the baby food! Vivi has tried 9 foods so far (rice cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, avocados, zucchini, prunes peaches and mango) - 5 of these are shown in pictures. Can you guess which foods are which?

Sitting up

I can sit up by myself now - not for very long and I have to focus very hard - but it's a start.

5 months (a little late)

With all our traveling, I forgot to take "5 month" photos of Vivi on July 15. Better late than never. 

Is this how I am supposed to hold this thing?

Now what?

Does this count as smiling for the camera?

How about this?

What does this button do?

Blowing Bubbles

Vivi has been working on learning how to blow bubbles - you can see her attempts at the beginning and end of this video.

Visiting Granny and a new voice

We're visiting Vivi's granny. Unfortunately it's for a sad reason - Vivi's "Papa" (paternal grandfather) passed away on Friday after a long battle with cancer. We are happy she had a chance to meet him.

Vivi has been loving the baby toys at her granny's house that have accumulated from the other grandchildren who have outgrown them and the attention of family members. And she has found her voice (again). This time it's a high voice (compare to the voice she found last month -  http://a-grand-adventure-2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/beginning-to-babble.html).

Happy 4th of July

Ready to celebrate in my red, white, and blue!
