Dinner Time

Simone started eating rice cereal this weekend.

At first, she wasn't to sure about it,

but after a third of a bowl, she decided she

liked it and starting grunting for more.

I really do mean grunting; sometimes she

can't get the spoon fast enough.

Granny Hits the Town

On Sunday we hit the local coffee shop and

Simone hammed-it-up for some pictures

while we sipped iced drinks.

We like to call this "the Granny Shot".

Granny in her bonnet and shades.

Big Blues

Her eyes looked so blue against my shirt.

Toes

I couple of weeks ago, feet were merely flying objects

in the periphery. Then they became objects to grab.

And, suddenly, they were objects that can be

crammed in the mouth.

More shots from Cathy

Here are some images from when Jon and Cathy were here,

compliments of Cathy again.

The Laugh Track

Simone likes to check out a baby that looks remarkably like herself and
smile and laugh with her.



(Yes, the guy handling the camera and making funny noises is Dad.
What has become of me? )

Westcoast Visitors

Jon and Cathy Ward, Jen's brother and sister-in-law,

came all the way out to DC from Portland

to meet Simone.

They were hoping for spring and nearly got snow,

but the weather didn't stop us from taking

in a couple of DC sites.



Cathy and Jon are both very good photographers,

so we posed for a few black and whites with Cathy.

Hope you enjoy.
