The Ol' Burp-Cloth-to-the-Head Game

Happy Birthday, Tim!

Look who's 24! The smell of something baking woke him up this morning, so he went downstairs to investigate; however, I hadn't put the frosting and candles on his birthday cupcakes because I had to feed Aislin. So as he was walking down the hallway, I yelled, "Don't come in here! Go back upstairs!!!"
Once everything was ready, I sang happy birthday from the hallway so he'd know to come back down.
Basically, he had cupcakes for breakfast :P

LOL

She has teeth! The better to shred paper with, I suppose. Since we can't eat around her without evoking one of her long drawn-out whines, we've been feeding her grains of rice here and there and little pieces of bread. I pictured myself feeding her baby food only, at least for now, and doing things by the book...but then my ears started hurting from her incessant whines, so I decided to accept the rules as mere suggestions ;)

She laughs a lot more now, too! She's consistently ticklish around her tummy and saying, "Da!" seems to crack her up, too. Please ignore the weird laughter in the background... I swear, I was only laughing that way to make her laugh!

Aislin, the Human Paper Shredder

Aislin has developed a fascination for paper. Even in her fussiest moments, a piece of paper can appease her like nothing else. We try not to let her get too carried away with dining on paper, but we couldn't save our Netflix envelope. Since it was so damaged that we figured the U.S. Postal Service would never accept it, we're hoping Netflix will accept two DVDs in one envelope :P

Almost a Pro

I can finally sit her on the floor and place toys in front of her, and she'll sit contently for a good period of time. She doesn't even need a pillow behind her anymore. Sometimes she'll take an occasional face-dive but luckily we have plush carpets ;)
