Dancin' On Valentine's Day

This week we have learned to both dance and clap our hands! Yay! We are also getting ready for our trip back to Florida to see our Florida friends.

Although we are an 80/20 baby (80% happy / 20% sad) we have almost no pictures of smiling so far this month - and there's only 28 days!

We went to the Cracker Barrel for lunch on the day of the blizzard. Danae couldn't find stars on the menu, so she brought her own.

Look carefully outside. See the snow?

See it now?

How 'bout now? See all 2 feet of it? Wrecked my car! Makes our heater about wheeze itself to death at night! White Doom!

Dancin!

Happy Birthday Girl GG and Don Tony And Stacey Come To Visit

We had a wonderful and exciting week! The Girl GG turned 38 this week and Tony and Stacey came up from Florida to visit! We are also standing for minutes at a time (by ourselves!), reluctantly eating chunks of fruit, and we've learned "hand's up!"!

Happy Birthday Girl GG! 75 is an exciting age!

That's not a candy necklace.

Breakfast with the girls - notice Mommy making a monkey face? Not funny Mommy!

Uncle Tony had to check his Bear-shame in as luggage for the flight down - notice the NFC champions shirt? It's okay Don Tony, Danae still loves you (until she learns about football).

"Ummm, there doesn't seem to be any lunch here."

Hands up with Uncle Tony!

Danae Eats Cheerios and The Colts Win The Superbowl!!

We had a good week (especially Sunday). We started eating Cheerios along with stars, we think that Frank and Bob are expecting company, and we are starting to get the whole "Dadadada" and "Mamama" thing down - although we haven't really connected anybody to these sounds (although when Mommy's working and Danae wakes up, she says "Mamamama" alot more than anything else!).

Yay Colts! The first time the Colts win the Superbowl in 36 years just so happens to be Danae's first Superbowl! Coincidence?

The entryway table has developed a special fascination for us - so many colorful things!

Walking is coming along...and along...and one more step...

Danae eats stars at the GG's house - part 2 next week!

Another silent one

Danae Turns 8 Months Old

Danae Marie is 8 months old tomorrow! We're celebrating with a new installment of the Danae Marie Music Club. This week it's Chet Baker!

Danae now laughs at naptime! She slept from 11:00 til 7:00 last night!

The "psychic baby" thing was just a joke - or was it?

She has now officially assaulted every living thing in the house.

We are still working on solid foods...

We are skipping over learning to walk and are jumping straight into navigating a darkened room.

We are also taking belly-dancing classes.

Here's a family portait of Frank and Bob.

And here's what it's like outside!

Danae Meets The Bunny, Sleeps For Eight Hours, And Tries Potatos

We made a big friend this week. That's right! The bunny! Freaked us out a little at first, but now we walk all over the bunny. It's soft....

We also slept for eight hours straight this week (not pictured). No little wake-ups and no crying. We only did it once, but it proves that we can do it.

And we tried potatos (also not pictured here). Not so delicious. We really didn't even know what to make of them. Is this food?

It has been very, very cold outside. We are well prepared for anything mother nature throws at us. Ice, sleet, snow - whatever!

We really want that camera!

Little Trips

Mommy has taken Danae on many little trips this week!

We went to Girl GG's house and tried on our Christmas outfit the Girl GG made for us! Those puffy sleeves are not as delicious as they look!

We saw Grandma Sue and Cousin Kaine. Cousin Kaine is much less delicious than he looks, too. Grandma Sue, however, is as exactly as delicious as she looks!

Psychic Baby will tell your fortune in the spinny thing for 10 American Dollar! 10!

We are slowly getting used to the real big kitty (Rex the Dog). It's that tongue-as-big-as-my-face thing that freaks us out!

Then we kinda like it!

We had a spectacular bath, filled with duckies and crabby dippies, and much splashing!

Then we decided that we were too mature to be spashing and playing with duckies.

This has happened to all the trees! When the wind blows, all you hear is the cracking of ice.

Danae Marie eats stars!

Bathtime is important and fun. Mostly it's wet.

It also provides an opportunity to wear a new stylish hat!

Danae Eats Stars and Frank Gets A New Friend

We have had a busy week! We went to Port Huron to see the Boy GG, we added zuchinni to our menu, we're cutting a new tooth (the Girl GG is calling it Bob) and we're eating these little star-shaped crackers for babies - they're finger food!



We went to Nana's office and visited with Nana and the Girl GG. Here's Nana trying to figure a way to make Danae into a centerpiece for a Valentine's Day party

The Boy GG's airtube is delicious and fun!

Daddy got a new photo program and now he's getting all artsy. More later!

Danae and her goofy laugh

Here's a silent one from our old camera. She's so little!
