Yes I Can

You know that special power Obama has to charm, disarm, and mean no harm?  

That's me in a nutshell.

Clutch Purse

I had such an exhausting day shopping, I crashed as soon as I walked in the door, changed my diaper, and put on some cozy Jamjams.  I forgot to take off my handbag.  Silly, really.

Gettin' Inuit

Mommy put me in all these clothes so I could play in a thing the natives here call snow.

Whose idea was snow?  I don't think they understand the nature of playing outside.  

Action Lil'

Digitalis Diminutivicus

All this fabulous music in my head.

What can be done?

My fingers are just too small to go polyphonic.

Enfants de Chef

circa 1968
7 stitches from being too demonstrative on some cement stairs.  Spent the day at Grandma's baking cookies.

Notice the famed "Pickles".

Such a Pain

Daddy only makes one kind of bread, so I gave a call to Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of (The Bread Bible).

She talked me through a few things since I told her I can't read.

After I got it down, I taught Daddy.

 And we made these after a week of my lessons.

MorMor and Mama

This is one of my favorite pictures of my Mama and MorMor.

These Magic Moments

These grown ups think this is such a big deal. 

 I was born doing this. 

 Anyway, I know I want to remember this moment, always....

Wheels!

My MorMor and Grandpa Joe sent this awesome ride in the mail.

I let my Daddy help me put it together, but don't tell him that.

Thanks Grandpa and MorMor!  I LOVE my bike!

Woodchuck

Daddy said times are so tight we can't afford to go to the playground.

Soon as Nudelman finds a rat, I'll clobber it with this stick.

Parts and Parcel

Daddy said he's building my bike.

I said I'm building my bike.
I hope Daddy knows what he's doing.  My safety is riding on those wheels.

The Japanese Maple

Dad's favorite tree in November.

Vargas Girl?

I think Marilyn started like this.  

Pie Face

Some say the worst part of baking is cleaning up.

I beg to differ.

Sell, Baby, Sell!

I'm a Wiz in the kitchen.

But I'm not about to "stir with spoon 200 strokes."

That's why I use the Kitchen-Aid Artisan Mixer!

This baby makes this baby's job easier.

LouAnne

I'll have a bite o' the Jello® with marshmallows and a smidge of Sara Lee® Cheese Cake. And no Cool Whip® on my Jello®, I'm tryin' to cut down on non dairy whipped toppings, bless your heart.

Shoe Sighs

Something is not right.

Are they on the wrong feet?

Purple Haze

These glasses help me see clearly...

when I'm sleepin' with the fishes.

Drinking Problem

I hope soon I can move to a drinking glass.

I'm too attached to my sippy cup.

Diminutive Devil

OK, I'll wear 'em.

But I don't need 'em

ReKlein

Calvin Klein's rep called me about a new diaper they're working on.  Daddy said I could do it, but I had to practice my "serious" look.

No, No, not the Nose!

This right here, Daddy-o is the only thing I hope not to inherit.

Oh, Shoot!

Trying my hand at photography.  I'm good at so many things I figured why not.

All the pictures are upside down.  

 I might need a few lessons in "up" and "down".
