Hmm, what was the plan here???

To give her credit, Linlee did look at me and say “wah-er” for the first time when I caught her trying to climb into the sink. Yay! (She wanted to play in it, though, not drink it!)

Motherbridge of Love

Sam (Just Keep Swimming) sent me this link. I’ve bawled all three times I’ve watched it: Motherbridge of Love. (Note to the grandmas; no need to buy Linlee the book, I’ve already ordered it.)

Some really cute pictures!

Linlee’s speech therapist brought a ball pit today! Have a look…

The one below is my favorite. (I fell into the ball pit trying to get this shot!)

Linlee thought it was a riot when Miss Irna climbed in with her.

Bubbles with Miss Irna…

This next picture is from this morning. Linlee was trying to eat [...]

Penguin Night Light

So, I plugged in Linlee’s new penguin night light before bed. What a big hit! (Thanks again, Anne!) Isn’t this the cutest thing?

“Hey, what is this?”

“Hmm, let me see…”

“It looks cold, but it doesn’t feel cold.”

“I really like my penguin light!”

“Mmmwahhh!”

Play Date

Anne and Rachel came over today. The girls had fun. They are both so darn cute! Anne brought an early Christmas present for Linlee (so she could start using it right away); a penguin plate, cup and night light. What a perfect gift for a little girl who loves penguins! [...]

Cuddle Time with Happy Penguin

Linlee seems very pleased to be back home among her familiar surroundings. I think she played with every toy she owns yesterday. She had a fun time in Spokane, but a trip like that wears a little girl out. When I put her to bed last night, she never made a peep. [...]

Linlee’s New Word

We are home again. The drive back was easy. Linlee is a good traveler and the mountain pass was sunny with dry roads – yippee! Over Thanksgiving, Linlee learned a new word. She was turning her nose at her pancakes for breakfast yesterday. My mom suggested we put a little [...]

Fun morning with Mama and Mémé

This morning we took Linlee to the Spokane Children’s museum. Then we went back to Riverfront Park to feed the ducks one more time and out to lunch. We ladies had a lovely time.

Our Day

Today was a very nice day. The high in Spokane was only 24º, so my mom and I took Linlee to the mall to play in the play area there. What were we thinking? The mall on the day after Thanksgiving? Crazy busy! But Linlee had fun and also got [...]

Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving with my family. I missed my Rob, but it is what it is. I didn’t end up getting any great pictures of my relatives (rats!), so I only have a few of Linlee to show off.
Here is Miss Linlee getting sips of grandpa’s 7-Up.
