Perfect Beach Day

radarbee@gmail.com (hannahbee) — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 03:33:00 +0000

The day after the 50' waves at Mavericks surf competition, we ventured out to the more protected south facing Limantour Beach. The waves were still big, but it was sunny, warm and calm enough for Alma to thoroughly enjoy herself under her watchful papa's eye.

Ponies with Frances

The pony ride only lasted a few minutes, but I think they were some of the happiest of Alma's life to date!

She seems to have no fear of the cold. Even her Canadian grandparents were impressed.

Lead the way, Alma!

Pumpkins!

radarbee@gmail.com (hannahbee) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:35:00 +0000

Alma hits the patch.

Every pumpkin presents a weight lifting challenge.

She's got one...

Yay!

Many pumpkins were nearly smashed on the ground.

She loved riding in the wagon.

Even more fun with a friend (River).

The bounty. Four smaller pumpkins added by Alma. I think she could have gone on forever.

She really liked meeting the horse up close.

And the bunnies, bees, ducks and other friends. Thank you Peterson's Farm!

Neighborhood Nature Appreciation

Our daily morning walk includes visiting the ducks...

and trying to explain that these berries are for the birds to eat, not us.

Who's that cool girl on "C" Street?

Drawing, everywhere

radarbee@gmail.com (hannahbee) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:49:00 +0000

It's so hard to capture Alma without her noticing the camera, but I was able to sneak in on her while she was drawing last week. I love her soft commentary. She says many words now...mama, dada/baba, no (a favorite), nose, kittie, Katie (our neighbor), tea, knee, hot, hat, up, duck, and as of today, button (for belly button). But her babbling is so sweet, her made up words, her approximation of "cockadoodble-doo" ("baba-deee!") and great animal sounds for owls, cats, monkeys, etc. She loves to read books now, too. We spend hours on the floor going through her little library. It's so fun to watch her make connections between the images in the books and the world she knows, which is rapidly expanding. She is so bright, funny and sensitive, and very determined when she puts her mind to something. It is amazing to witness all the "firsts" as she begins to talk.
