Painting again

We painted again. I don't think my parents know what else to do with me when it rains.

This is what my clothes looked like when I started. (Compare to above photo).

Digital artwork

Vivi's computer artwork (ipad painting). Maybe she has a future at Pixar? :)

Waving

Vivi's new trick - waving. She has sort of waved a few times before now, but in the last couple days, she really figured it out. Earlier this week she reached her hand out to everyone she saw but didn't move her fingers. Today, she started waving by moving her fingers and she has been waving at people all day long.

Baby Einstein

See the resemblance?

Nine months old

You don't expect me to sit still very long, do you?

I've got a better idea...

I'll stand and hold the 9

Ta da! -nine -- or six

What's out the window?

Vivi is nine months old! Favorite things to do - pull up on the couch, pull up on the chairs, pull up on the walls, pull up on laundry baskets, pull up on toys, climb stairs, swing, eat (especially whatever is on mommy and daddy's plate). She's crawling, has cut one tooth with another near the surface, and is babbling (dadada, gagaga, bababa, yayaya, nanana, mamama). 15 lbs 10 oz, 25.75 in tall, head is 43 cm.

My own Christmas tree

I got my own Christmas tree - I read ate the instructions.

Then we put lights and little toys on it.

Isn't it pretty?

The little artist

We turned the kitchen into my very own art studio

Finger painting

Leg painting

I think this part needs a little more blue

I can crawl in the paint.

I can even ROLL in the paint

All done - bath time for the painted baby

Spaghetti

Well, this is a new challenge

a few more

Christmas photos - first try

 Since Vivi is home sick (again) from daycare today, I dressed her up in her Christmas clothes and tried to get some photos for a Christmas card. These are all too serious to be card worthy so they're just going on the blog. I'll try again when she is feeling better.

Watch out - I'm going to get you!

48 days and counting

I know it's early - but i think it's time to get ready for CHRISTMAS. It's only 7 weeks away!

All the better to bite you with

Vivi's first tooth is starting to poke through (bottom front left tooth). It's nearly impossible to see (and even more difficult to get a picture of) because she closes her mouth every time we try to look. But we can feel it.

Let me out of here!

Painting and water fun at pre-school

My first masterpiece - it's an abstract.

I think I'll title it "dadadadada"

And now we play with water. I love pre-school.

Decorating for Halloween

Who left these lights in such a mess last year?

I guess it's up to me to untangle them.

Look! A skull.

Pumpkin carving

So that's what's inside a pumpkin.

I fit in the pumpkin!

Happy Halloween!

Pre-School Fall Potluck

My school had a party. The big kids painted pumpkins. We got little ones that we mostly just chewed on.

I don't remember agreeing to this.

I sat surprisingly still for the face painting lady to make a pumpkin on my cheek.
