Brand New 2009 Car, A/C Included, Manual Transmission, British Racing Green

Uncle Mike came over on Saturday with a shiny new gift - a car for Lila. We spent the rest of yesterday and today pushing her around our living room and kitchen. Check out the pictures and the movie.

Talking smack!

You can see our little Lila is starting to engage in the long family tradition of running her mouth. She has Dadda, Mamma, Nanna, and said "hi" twice. Next comes Zienkiewicz. Enjoy.

The future is so bright, I gotta wear Sunglasses

Sorry for the inactivity over the last few weeks but our life out here in Chicago has been severely hampered by the cold. We have had 14 straight days of freezing weather so I figured everyone had seen enough pictures of us hanging out in our family room. It was, however, 50 yesterday so we decided to hit the streets and go for a long walk. Check out Lila with her sunglasses. Everyone out there probably will not find this as funny as we did but we kept taking pictures because not only did she not pull the glasses off her face, she love POSING with them on! We find that particularly strange for a 11 month old and most passer byers did as well as we got plenty of smirks and looks from the Bucktown populace. Last picture is a snap shot of our new daunting challenge - a highly mobile baby that is learning to stand. I hope all is well, and as always - enjoy!
