Ella Meet Simone. Simone, Ella.

Simone and Ella are starting to show a little interest in each other.

Simone is seeing Ella for the first time, which makes Ella want

to lick Simone all over again.

Philly Family

Great Aunt Phyllis and family friend, Anne,
came down from Philadelphia to meet Simone.

Phyllis got to see Simone and reminisced about

holding Jen when she was this age, a few years ago...

Ella was also glad to see Phyllis and Anne.

Philly Family No. 2

Quality baby holding time.

Simone loves to taste the world.

First Smithsonian

Simone gets bundled up on a cold, wintery Saturday
to visit the Botanical Garden by the Capitol.

Warm and green, perfect for a nap.

Lovely flowers.

Bath, sans Sponge

Simone took her first bath in the tub this week. The following is what may have been running through her mind at the time.




"This is different."

"Water feels weird."

















"But I like it."
















"Until they ambushed me and dumped water on my head."

And Now, a Floral Interlude
