Easter

This year Nina is too little to enjoy coloring Easter eggs and visits from that bunny dude, but pretty Easter dresses are for girls of any age!


Our daughter doesn't just look pretty, but she is also developing new skills by the day! In her first month or so of life, she would make these tiny little squeaks - we called them kitty kat noises. Then later she started making all sorts of odd sounds ('goo!', 'ack!, 'ugle!'). Now we can have little conversations where we repeat the sounds she makes, and it encourages her to make more. Here this last week, she has cranked it up a notch and started making loud screeching and squawking noises. She totally likes to yell at her toys in the baby gym.

Speaking of which, here is the little monkey in the jungle gym....
Now the purpose of the second picture was not just to show you the bananas on her bum (which are totally the bomb), but to illustrate a new trick. When Nina is placed on her back she can roll herself onto her side! Actually either side. She has rolled over from her stomach to her back a few random times over the past month. Now it looks like rolling from back to front is in her future. I suppose she just needs to figure out what to do with that lower shoulder.

And finally, by popular demand, here is another shot in the bumbo seat.
Right after we took this picture, we put Nina in the baby jogger for the first time. We took a couple mile walk and she did just fine in it. Won't be long before Mirko can take her on his running adventures.
