.....the more things stay the same. Dust is settling and things are finally (sort of) trying to seem like normal. What approaches normal these days anyway. I mean - I've been through this profound life-altering experience and yet, the dishes still have to be done... there is a sour milk smell in the living room where EFP puked up a whole bottle (we have since treated the carpet and the smell is just about gone, thankfully) of milk with cereal. There are toys - little minutia of little people. Tiny teddy bears (that she has yet to express an interest in) and books (ok, there were a ton of books before... but they were mine or DHs and usually did not contain an entire forest of cardboard for one word: ball) everywhere. Balls are rolling freely in the house and I am sure there is an noticeable odor - sort of milk, pooh, sweet potatos and baby shampoo......and laughter. A lot of laughter... There is something else, a sort of 'now what' feeling. We went through all this ...

I mean Empress!! Here she is in all her glory! Is my baby a cutie pie or what? I finally was able to show her off at the monthly knitting circle - and what a hit she was! Of course - I was a wreck thinking I shouldn't have brought her - but the ladies seemed to like seeing her this one time. I obviously can't make a habit of it. She looked so cute in her Chinese Princess Dress and was squeaky shoeing all over the old wood floors - then as you can see disaster struck... fish here there and everywhere.................. well, you will see for yourself! The other little group of pics is my darling with her Zebra (a family heirloom - thanks Sissy!) and she finally learned how to use it and was all over the place tonight. She has also figured out that she can run away. When it was bedtime (and believe me it was... she was really floppy and tired!) we headed toward the stairs and then all of a sudden she was off... down the hall, cracking herself up!! She did it twice more.. ...

Quiet day here, we are on the mend. That is EFP and Mommy are..... Daddy is just getting the bug now. We dressed our little citizen in the requisite RW&B and took some pics. We snapped of few of her new locomotion... and her old one, big red wagon. She really loves that wagon!!! She has a new word and an accompanying sign (I may have accidently taught her) "EAT" and she points to her mouth! She did that 6 times today.. amply making up for the last few days with little solids. It is so cute. She has also added "down" and she points both hands down... for getting out of her booster seat. I think I mentioned that now she also asks for naps and bedtime by pointing to herself and then up the stairs. I am thinking that the next word/sign is "Uppie" and boy are we in for it then! So enough talk - here are the pix and there are more in the photo album under Fourth of July.

We are still under quarantine - but I think we may just emerge briefly to celebrate the Nation's Independence Day later today. I know I should be in bed... but its my last chance to burn the midnight oil so to speak. So you all know my Velcro baby right? Well a seriously funny (ok I didn't really think so at the exact time but whatever) thing happened today. Chloe was playing with daddy in the LR - doing whatever and she was pretty happy so I went upstairs to take a shower (needed desperately) and after clean, I wrapped my hair in a towel and put on my brand new bathrobe (summer cotton with pink flowers) and went down to check on my baby and DH. SHE BURST INTO TEARS WHEN SHE SAW ME!!!! Got frightened and reached for her daddy!! She had no idea who I was even when I told her I was her Mommy - she looked at me like "Who are you? I have never seen you before in my life - and what the h*ll is that get-up you are wearing? And what have you ...
