Getting all the culture

This is a baby who enjoys the symphony and local art installations.  Or at least, this is a baby who cautiously clapped at a kids' BSO event and was drawn like a crow to the shiny metal across the street.

Bees, bees!

Despite a long cold winter and only very occasional sightings, the bees are hanging in there.  Eric's fondant offering seems to have done the trick.

Energetic Thursday night

This is a baby who digs a good carousel

After switching no less than six times to a new animal, we persuaded the bug to sit still (unhappily so) until the ride started.  Luckily, after things picked up, she was thrilled and shrieked happily until voicing her extreme displeasure that the ride was over.

Still in heavy rotation!

This is a baby with specific goals.

This is a baby who demanded to wear goggles, climb a ladder, and fling one shoe across the kitchen.

This is a baby who climbs chairs

I wish you guys could see the ridiculous acrobatics this baby performs to get on top of this chair.  First, there is the long reach across the chair to grip the back of the seat.  Then, an impressive double knee bend and leg float to bring her thighs onto the seat, followed by an amazing feat of upper body strength to haul herself up on top.  Finally, she celebrates with a chair-tipping dance of triumph.

On occasion, this is also a baby that likes to sit on chairs.
