Road trip.

Out getting some pictures developed (last minute anniversary stuff) before swimming lessons at the pool. Hailey seems to be happiest when out and about. Either the stroller to the seawall or back seat in the pickup.

Favorite past times:
- pulling herself into a standing position on anything at all available including a handful of human skin.
- walking if possible and trying not to smack her head on the corner of the coffee table. Or the floor next to it if she goes down sidways. Ouch.
- testing out her yelling (singing?) voice at top volume.
- waking up way too early on a weekend morning and smiling so broadly that she always gets an involuntary one right back.

This one really is on fire.

It's been a hit song from the very first time hearing it on the radio (long before any inauguration renditions). The handle of a skip rope makes a really good microphone for impromptu performances we found out.

Words of the week:

"ValenTimes Day"

"Daddy, it happened by Axe-culent"

"The evil step mother, and the evil step father, and the evil step Wolf!"

On seeing angry birds: "You're not supposed to break up the playground. That's not nice!"

"It's not 'car' it's 'kyar'" (or vice versa).

Many more that we forget on a daily basis of course. Need to start posting as they happen.

New favorite game for Rhea is 'hide and see'. Now we have to learn when not to play it.
