17 Months!


Hello - Mike here, Marnie's had a busy week/month so she asked me to get a few photos up this evening. While I was at it thought I would jot down a few words

Maude's steamrolling the English language. We figure she's at around 150 words (and picking up new ones each day lately) and well over a dozen animal noises to go along with it (she's getting particularly good at her bear growl).


We've been out and about the town on our bikes a lot lately. We got a trailer to tow her in and while she wasn't quite warm to it at first now she's pretty game for a ride (she also tends to snooze in it as we pedal along). We hit grocery stores, parks, splash pools, the library - anywhere we can get to around here. Fortunately St Paul is a great bike city (and Dad is glad it's mostly flat).

And now off to the pictures--

Hats! (selection by Maude)

Stretching it out at the park.

Splash Pool!

 Somehow I picked the coolest afternoon
in several weeks to check this place out.
The good news - not crowded when it's cloudy!

 Can't the paparazzi just let me 
go to the farmer's market?

the Children's Museum.
 What do you mean these 
aren't my socks?
Who put their freakin' 
pineapple in my cart??
