Smiley

I just love a picture with a couple of big smiles.

Rock Concert

With some vacation I was finally able to join Maggie and Sydney for a Mr. Knickknack concert. There we listened to 45 minutes of what all seemed to be variations on the either the alphabet song or a song where he just pointed at children and said "You!", and they would look around confused thinking, "Me?!". Sydney clapped and had a good time pining over all the other children's toys, and watching while up on on my shoulders.

Splashing

This girl loves water and loves to splash. I caught this one outside the other day while she proceeded to soak herself and the blanket (b/c she won't stand on grass :) ) and right before she actually tried to crawl into the water part thinking that it looked like a perfectly good place for bath time.

Camping?

You might ask yourself what a picture of three guys camping would be doing on Sydney's blog. But a closer look reveals three dad's who look a bit tired after a night out in the wild under the stars. After a couple days of fishing and a night around a campfire, why no smiles? Three dads who had a night away from diapers and pureed bananas and bath time. Three dads whose only care was how rear the steak was off the grill and how good the fish were biting. But yet, no smiles. The reason is that apparently some other family nearby couldn't bear a night out without their little one, and so, on cue at 5:30 in the morning a baby started crying. I thought maybe it was my imagination and I had become so used to it that I was hearing things. It couldn't possibly be. There it was again though, louder and screaming and I woke up realizing it was actually a baby. I couldn't believe it. Only our luck and I don't think any of us really slept all that well the rest of the morning. So then here's the picture, probably caught a moment before we were actually smiling, but a better representation of what each of was thinking right about this time.

Round and Round

Her face belies the fun she's having going round and round on the carousel. Now if she even senses a carousel nearby it becomes a mighty struggle to hold her.

What's that...up in the air?

I swear that a moment earlier she was staring at the sky and pointing at something, but of course I think she's starting to pick up a sense of humor and left me looking....well, up.
