RSS feed of Selected Photos of Dennis

This has been a pretty busy month. Weather in Texas is creeping towards the hot side, so we've been scrambling to do outdoor activities while it's still possible to do so without melting. We made trips to the Frankie Carter Park, Bay Area Park, Mercer Arboretum, and Houston Zoo. (We've posted a separate Photo Gallery of the Mercer Arboretum) We also visited Aylin's house and the pediatrician. On April 21st, 2008 Dennis weighed 16lb 6 oz., 27" length, 17.75 Head circumference.

Dennis's starting getting her two top teeth in, they're big compared to the bottom two teeth, and there seems to be a gap between them. She's standing up a lot longer now, and can take a step or two or three before plopping back down. She can also walk assisted. (Be sure to see the Proto-walking Video Clips) . She can climb up stairs, and crawl really fast.

Dennis loves to play with her Little Tikes people, and her blocks, and light switches. She loves container play, and taking and putting things in holes and boxes.

Dennis hasn't been saying much other than the ubiquitous "eh”, her all-purpose syllable, to get attention. On walks she likes us to pick up pinecones for her collection, clover flowers to eat, light poles and fire hydrants to touch, and small trees to explore. She's amused by Hunter and the cats running around.

She loves to eat chicken, papaya, mangos, cheerios and carrots. She's okay with peas, asparagus and sweet potatoes. She also likes canned tomatoes but the acidity will cause redness on her skin wherever it comes in direct contact.

Dennis loves to go outside and play in her sandbox, keeping the sand in the sandbox and out of the bed has been our challenge.

Julie celebrated her first Mother's Day. And we took some photos in front of our fruit bushes.

Dennis's going be turning the big 1.0 on Friday, May 23rd. We've setup a webpage where you can leave her a personalize birthday greeting/wish. If you haven't already done so, go there and let her know how much you love her.

We're currently planning the Dennis Tour Northeast Edition - a trip from Balitmore to Boston. We'll post a photo gallery before we leave. It will of course include photos from Dennis's first Birthday Party (Dennis v1.0)
