What About Meow?

How could we have a blog for 5 months and not talk about Oliver?! 

We've been lucky to have so many houseguests since Cece was born. The guestroom happens to be part of Oliver's domain. Guests have no choice but to bunk with him. No one has seemed to mind; he is a very special boy.  Give Ollie one night and he will win your heart forever. 

Guess that makes our cat a dog!

But Seriously, Folks ...

My favorite place to walk with Cecelia is Lincoln Park which gives us a good 2 miles of both wooded and waterfront paths. Here she is all cozied up in the jogger. While the park is impossible to crowd, we rarely get through without being stopped ... usually by the elderly ladies. Cece remains fixed on the sights and sounds around her which leads the ladies to say "She looks so serious!". So I say she is the grumpiest baby ever and never smiles. Ha! No, I don't. I just say she's sleepy and maybe she'll smile next time ... which really is a lot more often than they know. 

Here's Looking Ah Choo, Kid

Earlier this week, Cece was keeping herself entertained when all of a sudden her nose started to crinkle up like it does right before a sneeze. With one eye open, she took a deep breath and out came the sneeze with a perfectly articulated "AH CHOO"! I went for the camera. I didn't think she would make another sneezy face; I only wanted to capture one of the special moments with Cece that makes me laugh ... sometimes until I cry.

Out Came the Sun

Our dear friend, Leslee came for a visit last weekend from San Diego and brought lots of sunshine and smiles. Cece loved her expressions and singing especially Itsy Bitsy Spider which could make Cece stop fussing almost instantly. Not only did Auntie Leslee's visit dry up all the rain, it dried up all the snow we had all weekend, too!

Cute Tube

 

Here is Cece in her video debut on the web! She is playing with my sister who will be mortified about the grunting noises audible in the background. Funny! Meanwhile, I'm going to keep Google-ing "cute" and see how long it takes for this to come up.
