Lily discovered this week that she can, without assistance, climb the tree in our front yard. What sort of tree is it? Well, it looks like an Evergreen with dreads. I haven’t a clue.. but it’s fun and has lots of low branches. Some images of then and now, along with some pics of her […]
Big Meadows Reservoir hike
A few days ago, the three of us hiked around Big Meadows Reservoir, west of South Fork, Colorado. Her immense love for the flowers was delightful. The endless curiosity is admirable. We shall go back and discover more soon!
Eureka
“Buzz… Buzz…. Buzz…. That’s what bees sound like!” “Do you know why bees make that sound?” “Yep, it’s their wings.” “You are correct. How did you come to this conclusion?” “The vacuum taught me. She knows a lot of stuff…” Followed by her voicing a good bit of conversation for the vacuum. ____________________________ Today, while […]
Recognizing Fouled Hay
London pees. Lots. Grass is notoriously annoyed by it.. in fact, it ceases to exist in the presence of it. Today we raked up a bit of dead grass, and even with watering and snow, and rain (haha), it reeeeked. London’s pee is so seriously pungent that the entire area smells of it (it’s not […]
Our Hike
We went hiking today with a friend who hasn’t had much exposure to Lily. After being in her presence for a few hours, he concluded that talking with her is like talking to a little adult. He seemed pleased with her ability to communicate and articulate her thoughts so completely. She managed quite well […]

Then & Now And Now… She started spontaneously singing this, along with the dialog that follows. I tried to encourage her to give me a little more footage, but discovered singing in a whisper is well, I sound like I’m 6. AND she copies me (on the quiet factor). But, hey, it was worth it […]
Planetarium, Parks, and Boxes
Lily, Russ and I are going to Lily’s first ever trip to a planetarium Friday. The last time Russ and I went to one was a few months before I got pregnant. I think she will be in heaven (we’ve waited this long so that there wouldn’t be any fear of the dark/big). She and […]

We Live on the Earth
The sun wakes up because we go to sleep. And we live on the Earth. The moon is a very little planet. Well, it’s not really a planet, it’s a satellite. A satellite? Ok. So, why do we only live on the earth? Because the earth is the only planet in our solar system […]
A Part of Our Solar System
Lily has decided that Luis (from Meet the Robinsons) is definitely a part of our solar system. “So is Jupes.”
