Pics and vids for the grandparents and lurkers

It's been a while...and I know these could cheer up a few of you out there...

(It's heavy on the Pheebs in honor of her upcoming birthday :)

Reading together...

Phoebe self-applauding every time she pushed the red button to pop up the panda.

Afternoon walk (which Raina was actually excited about)

Yay for consignment shops and $5 tunnels!

Hamming it up at the dinner table

Adding a little cheese...

And a little more :)

Practicing her spoon/fork techniques

They're finally starting to play together...it's cute...but inevitably gets ugly!

The vid to go with the photo above...

I think it's a cruel trick that babies can go up steps before they can walk!

Our zoo friend

Ripping tissue paper with Aunt Emily

New toy

"Gentle" is not a concept she understands just yet...

At that dirty phase...

Ending with my favorite funny face :)
