telling a story

Ramona is not intimidated by the words in her books, she just makes up her own.

celebrating hanukah

Ramona loved watching the candles and trying to touch them. She doesn't quite get the concept of hot yet, but she sure likes saying "hot". She really enjoyed being able to stand on the chair so she could see the candles. She couldn't get the dreidel to spin, but liked to grab it when someone else got it going.

remembering a hot summer day

looking at these photos is a sweet reminder of a hot summer day. Ramona sure had a good time!

She's crawling!

She can already pull herself up even on this yoga bolster.

We went to our friends' engagement party and Ramona had a ball while they opened gifts.

feeding herself!

she's got the thumb and fore finger grasp down well enough to put a puff (like a cheerio) in her mouth

we hung out in Laurelhurst Park with our friends Laurie, Johnny & Sabina

good times with the grandparents in eugene

a "yes" girl

she loves nodding her head up and down. we hope this is a sign of good things to come.

more fun at the pool

she loves to eat

getting more on her face than in her mouth

Class is more fun with our friend Sabina and her mom Laurie.

swimming with mama

We take turns going in the pool with Ramona (we learned it's easier for one of us to be dry to help once class is over) and today was my turn. More songs and playing.

being cute

reading

She is really enjoying books lately.

squealing

This is an older video of Ramona squealing in her exersaucer, but she still does it every morning.
