So thirsty! (July 19, 2007)

Chug! Chug! Chug!

Walking Down the Driveway (July 16, 2007)

Alma takes a stroll, down the driveway and back. Stops to sightsee. Takes a spill or two. Gets some help along the way.

For the Birds (July 13, 2007)

Lately, Alma likes to watch the birds in the backyard, and she's learning some sign language. She's started signing "bird" when she sees birds (or when anyone says the word "bird"). No, not *the bird*, but American Sign Language; her rendition is a little cryptic yet; it's quite similar to her signs for milk and bye-bye, but it's a start!

Montage: clips from Alma's first three months

I guess the title of this post says it all. The camera I had could take 10 second, silent, grainy videos. I've lumped 13 or so together here with some music. So here's a blast from the past, from before Alma could hold her own head up or roll over (on purpose).

Music by Colin Meloy.

Walking? (July 9, 2007)

So Sunday (July 8), I was telling the babysitter that Alma like to play with her walker, but can't walk with it. Alma immediately crawled over to the walker, popped up, and walked across the room with it. Now she does it whenever the walker is positioned to go forward. Huh.

Eating Peas (June 30, 2007)

Alma feeds herself peas on a spoon.

Which one? (June 30, 2007)

Alma tries to determine, once and for all, which window blind cord tastes better.

Waving and Crawling (June 29, 2007)

Alma combines two of her many talents into one video. (note: camera shake = camera operator waving at baby)

Cornered! (June 27, 2007)

Alma can't seem to get out from behind the push toy.
