Escuola di Papa

I can read!
Seriously? Seriously.
There were a few naysayers when Papa Ben started me on my early reading curriculum.
Well, I forgive them. In time, I'm sure Papa Ben will, too.

Who Used to be in charge here?

"Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century ... "

You vote - who's got the best roar?

My old friend, Joss (those in the inner circle call her J-Faz) had a party last month. She's one now and her mom gets to go to Africa all the time for work. Joss's mom brought back this lion for the birthday party - cool, huh?

Anyway, we all got to pose as lions - something I've wanted to do ever since I can remember - maybe even since March!

I gave it my best shot, but totally forgot to roar in the first picture.

Sofi did a bang-up job if you ask me. I hate to admit it, but I think she's got me beat in the roar department. For now, anyway. I did do an ok on my second attempt, but I think the gold medal goes to Sofi... this time. I'm still working on it.




















Either way, check out the boys - they're not scary at ALL! In fact, they're just adorable. C'mon fellas!

I found my voice!

Here are some photos of me singing. It's a good time!

Working with mama!

April is a busy month for mama,
so I went to work with her one Saturday. So did dad!

Lots of cool people to meet. I wanted to help with the mural,
but was informed that my first painting experiences should be with watercolors.
Can you believe that? So uncool. As soon as I can talk, I'll have something to say about it.

Baby Cam

I'm taking a documentary film class and tried out my

new skills with the camera before Seth's birthday party last month.

Check it out! I'm pretty good!

Another day in Longmont

Another day with Omi and Opa who had their surprises with me today:

While eating oatmeal, with each spoonful, I would clamp down on the spoon with my strong teeth and not let go for some time. That went for all the food I had today, except eating mashed potatoes - I fed them to myself!Finger foods work differently.

Kasperle helps me to learn German.

He asks: "Wo ist der Ball?" and I point to it.

Playing with the colorful rings: So far I had always managed to get them off the peg, today I put some back on. Applause from the oldies.

Opa and I played soccer today with a large, orange ball; I was chasing it through the house.
