Happy birthday to me!
In addition to the many many new videos I've added here, I've also caught up with photo uploads on Flickr. Photos of Alma's birthday party, Sassy's shower, and more are all up now.
Alma sings! (Sept. 19)
Alma has discovered that she like singing, and she's learning lots of new songs these days. Hear her renditions of Twinkle Twinkle, Wheels on the Bus, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and the Alphabet song. This is very cute.
Fire! and Tony! (Sept. 10)
Alma and Cousin Tony wait for Tom to start the fire in the outdoor stove.
Alma dances at the Tri-County Fair (Aug 31)
Alma finds a live jazz trio, a dance floor, and a dance partner at the Tri-County Fair in Northampton, MA.
Swimming! (Aug. 4)
Alma and dad go for a swim in the pool. We're on vacation in the Berkshires, and the sun is elusive. We all hopped in the pool when the rare sunny opportunity presented itself.
Cookie Boogie! (Aug. 1)
Alma has her big skirt on and she's ready to dance. Music by Cookie Monster.

Alma visits the goats (July 21)
We visited the goats at the Hampshire College Farm Center nearly everyday when we lived around the corner from them. Alma grew quite attached to her baby goats, and she eventually warmed up to the "nammy goats" and "old mrs. goat" (our name for the older goat in the herd). We were sad to learn that, the same weekend we moved, the goats moved to a new home, one we can't visit so easily.
In any case, we shot quite a bit of video of Alma and her goats, and I had to split it up into three parts to upload with the silly Google video web uploader.

Ball Bounce! (July 6)
Alma, Nocky, and Pop engage in some scientific experiments.
Involving play dough.
And bouncing.

It's been a while...
I guess something about moving twice in one summer, having intermittent (at best) home internet access, and then the google video uploader tool crashing has put a damper on my posting of videos over the last two months. It hasn't, however, slowed down the recording of videos.
Over the last few days, I've attempted to play catch-up with our Alma videos. I now have to run them all through a video editing program (to convert file types and trim the file size) in order to use the slow, crappy Google video web upload. I don't know why the desktop tool crashed or why I can't 1) fix it by uninstalling/reinstalling or 2) find anyone online that has had the same problem. But it makes posting videos take about 10 times longer.
Anyway, expect a blitz of videos in the next few days.

Rearranging (June 26)
This isn't terribly interesting, except that I have no idea why she took half the bottles and boxes out of the cupboard, placed each on the welcome mat, then put them back in the cupboard. It's a perfect example of a time that Alma seems to have a very specific plan in mind, but offers no clue as to what it is.
Grandpop and Mumshkie's June visit (June 21-23)
Alma eats a giant strawberry and swings in the creek. Afterward, she tries to get a stroller ride.

Partytime! (May 31)
We invited a great group of friends over for dinner when we were home in PA in May. Alma and Charli entertained us.
video: Alma goes to the Zoo (May 30)
Alma, Tom, Jessica, and Amama visited the Lehigh Valley Zoo at Trexler Game Preserve.
Has it been two months now?
It's been a while since I posted here, by the look of things.
I guess moving, traveling, and sporadic internet outages have taken a toll on the constant stream of Alma images. But fear not, I have stuff sitting on the hard drive waiting to be shared with the world.
I have actually caught up with the photos. I've posted about a month's worth of stuff over at Flickr. Here are a few highlights.
When you ask Alma to smile for a photo, this is what you get:
We visited our friends the Trachs in Lawrence, MA, and made a quick trip to the beach at Ipswich:
Alma and I baked cupcakes:
Alma was introduced to corn on the cob at Taste of Amherst:
Alma joined us, Pop and Mumshkie, at Tom's residency graduation. She ignored us, however, and played with Mia:
and about 50 more, which you can find here.

With apologies to Harry Belafonte (Mar. 21, 2008)
Alma gets down to Shake Senora with the zeal that only a way-past-bedtime toddler can.
New Discovery: Puddles (Feb. 23, 2008)

oh no! a backlog!
Tons of new photos up over at Flickr--from me, Amama, and Sassy. See them all at the Alma Rose photo pool. Or go to my page and see some additional shots sans bebe.
I hope to upload a bunch of videos tonight/tomorrow. I have a silly backlog from mid-February. And seeing as how it's almost April, I should get on that.

Alma's Antics (Jan. 20, 2008)
Hijinks, Alma-style. I started videotaping her just as she stopped dancing in front of her reflection in the oven door. In her pirate hat.

Alma, Aunt Bean, and Daddy play ball to the tune of Paul Simon.

Little Drummer Girl (January 21, 2008)
I've got a bit of a backlog of videos that I'm working through. They will show up over the next few days and will be quite out of chronological order.
Here's Alma playing the drum. She's ready to start a band--anyone want to join up? I think we especially need a bass player.

Feed the ducks (January 24, 2008)
Alma feeds the ducks at Forest Park. She is still talking about it and ready to go back at a moment's notice.
