The princess surveys her subjects. See this image larger. Yay, morning boat-ride! All these pictures were taken on September 4th. See this image larger. *Say, Nina, is that a park?* See this image larger. Ian, Nina and Grampa Dave all enjoy a quick ride on the teeter-totter. See this image larger. Ian senses danger but […]
September 3rd, as we approached the cottage, Dairy Queen ran out into the street and forced us to stop. See this image larger. I’ll have to double-check… I don’t think this is her first ice cream. It probably IS her first Dairy Queen, though. And also possibly her first actual cone. See this image larger. […]
Dialogue, September 1-3rd Ian to Mommy: “You have a cool belly button.” Nina: “Babysitter.” (Nina said this while pointing at the Elmo book where he has his first babysitter.) Nina with stroller: “Beep beep!” Ian to Daddy: “Mommy’s car has a p button. Where’s your car’s p button, Daddy?.” (P is for “Park.”) Ian: “They’re […]
Video, August 21st Click here to check out a video of Nina seeing the Sesame Street website for the first time! There’s one point where you’re going to see me tear up a bit — Nina’s mouth drops open in amazement and she looks at me like “This is great, isn’t it awesome, Daddy?” You […]
Video, August 21st Click here to check out a video of Nina feeding Ian a couple of cheerios. (I know this is how we all get colds, I’m sort of over it.) Ian’s quote at the beginning of the video is also priceless. Nina’s “no” still sometimes means yes. We’re working on that. Video, August […]
Video, August 15th Click here to check out a video of Nina being her usual awesome. Note that at the beginning I tell her to “turn that around” and she immediately spins in a circle, as if I am the caller at a square dance or something. She even folds her hand behind her back, […]
August 12th, and there’s still some pig-tail action happening here! She’s trying on some shoes we got at a garage sale next door. Melissa and I spent a fortune over there and got a lot of clothes for Nina. They have excellent taste! See this image larger. “Hep! Hep! Hep!” (Help!) See this image larger. […]
August 7th, I love this picture of Nina in her shoes holding Elmo. There’s something very “matter of fact” about her pose. See this image larger. *I know, Elmo, let’s go pla- Zzzzzz* See this image larger. Despite multiple attempts, neither emerged as a beautiful butterfly. See this image larger. Dialogue August 8th Ian – […]
On August 5th, Mommy went on a field trip with Ian to see… uh… (checks calendar) Meijer Gardens. Hmmm. Doesn’t look like Meijer Gardens, but I was not there. You’re going to see that most of this entry is made up, unless Mommy wants to insert some caption comments at the end. (No pressure, sweetie!) […]
Video Click here to check out a video of Ian getting back into swimming. Ian’s last swim class experience had us wondering if he would ever hit the water again. But he gave it a chance, and even with a water-choking setback he had a blast. He made me proud. Dialogue August 2nd, Me: I’m […]
