This and That

Hats

Fiona is very into hats lately. She notices anyone wearing a hat, and likes to try on her hat collection (and it is quite a collection) at least once a day.

She's Lucky She's Not Jewish, 'Cuz This Kid's a Ham!

Fiona continues to grow and develop at amazing rates. Every day she utters new words, and enjoys mimicking just about everything we say and do. Today, while I was making dinner, she touched the oven, let me know it was hot, and then blew on it to help cool it down. She has also mastered the cheesy grin, as you can see in these photos.

She is offically bi-pedal as of about 2 weeks ago. She took her time graduating from crawling to walking, but seems to realize the benefits of walking finally, and just how quickly she can get around.

We're so enjoying watching her grow, although this past week I had some pretty sentimental moments as I realized babyhood is over. Our baby is now truly a toddler, and gaining independence at such mind-blowing speed, it's scary.

Planting with Grandma

Grandma came for a visit last month, and helped me make my yard look beautiful. Fiona was happy to help.

Easter 2010

Easter this year was rather unorthodox for our family. Fiona came down with pneumonia last week, so we've been cooped up in the house for the past 5 days. We really wanted to attend church this Sunday, as our church has moved from a junior high school (after 13 years!) to a warehouse. Long story... Anyway, we were able to watch the service online, which was something, at least.

My sister gave me the bright idea of coloring eggs with Fiona this weekend. As you can see, there was much double-dipping between colors, and the child seemed to have more fun dropping, cracking, and peeling the eggs than actually dyeing the stupid things. All in all, it was a fun event and a hilarious memory.

More photos to come....
