Outside

Little bug costume

Annah wearing Maya's old ladybug costume. We lost the little antennas that went on her head, but she didn't seem to mind.

Walk to the music store

I was putting new strings on Maya's violin this afternoon when I realized I needed some peg paste so I bundled up my junior associate and off we went to the music store in Highland.

Poop

While we were at the book signing this afternoon Annah and Zaheeda went next door to do some shopping at Southdale Mall. What seemed like a good idea went bad in a hurry when nature called and Annah answered. She made a mess all over her clothes carrying harness, everything... Zaheeda didn't have a change of clothes so she bought her a new outfit, cleaned her up and put the soiled stuff in the shopping bag. Recently Annah has taken up eating solids and the night before she had the Gerber prunes. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the cause and effect of this incident.

Out for a walk

Doctor

Annah went in for her six month checkup and shots this morning. She has a small ear infection and needs to start putting on some weight, but other than that she's fit as a fiddle.

Annah and the Sock Monkey

Unable to watch the Packers

It was better for Annah to look away....

Super Baby

In the Pen

Looks like something right out of MSNBC's Lock Up.

Sleeping

Annah finally slept through the night last night. For the last week she has been getting up about every hour on the hour to eat which means Zaheeda is up every hour on the hour. Granted I usually sleep through all that but them I'm stuck dealing with a less that pleasant wife the next day - it's like the trickle down theory of family harmony - we all eventually have to pay a price. We figured part of the problem was that she's been struggling with this little cold, so we put the vaporizer next to her crib and apparently that did the trick. She slept!
