baby in a basket

These pics are from this afternoon after our long walk. I bought a new collapsible basket for her toys and she climbed in herself! Big fun!
 
  

After our walk, we played at the playground for a while. Check out this cutie pie! She's so confident now on the steps and going down the slide.

let's slide!
she's very cautious on the steps
when she gets near the edge, she says "Be careful!"
she likes to wave to the camera
"Hold you, mama"
having fun at the playground!

whee!!!

AB likes the slide!

here are some videos from the digital camera ... great fun!





At the end of this one, she heard some neighbors playing and got distracted, and we never got her to say "hi Grandma!"

ready to go for a walk!

After putting the dogs in after their romp, we got ready to go for a walk ourselves. AB came out with my sunglasses on (upside down, it was cute!), so we brought them with. She took them off when we got her back into her coat and asked for help putting them back on, so they were right side up in the pics. Still cute as can be!

Sunday morning romp with the pups

she found the boarding card stub from one of our trips and carried it around this morning
she kept saying "go America! Go Bangkok!" (we are going to Bangkok in a couple of weeks...)
isn't she darling?
what a great smile
waving to show off her new gloves :)
about to take off the hat
I said "nooooooooo!"

Hi Niki!

shopping with MeiMei and GeGe

AB's friends came up to play tonight, and the new shopping cart was the hit of the evening! Everyone wanted it - and since it's a new toy and sharing at this age is a challenge anyway, it was a little tense. We managed to get the kids to share the handle and push it together, most of the time, and then take turns on the bike so that everyone had something to play with. Isn't the Birthday Bear so perfect in the cart? Thank you, Cousin CSH!!! :)
up and down the hall they go
