Bluet shares her toys

It doesn't happen often, but occasionally Bluet takes an interest in Ilona - for instance, she is quite amused when Ilona smiles at her, or here, Bluet asked whether she could show Ilona her toys

Also, here are some more pictures from last weekend, Ilona just chillin', Bluet focussing on blowing bubbles, and some Ilona smiles

Walking in the state park

Bluet spots a turtle, can you?

Ilona video

Ilona was smiling a lot in response to me talking or smiling, (and laughing too) so I tried to take a video. Unfortunately the camera was not as effective at eliciting these responses

Ilona Smiles

Emily's phone

I also managed to recently get my hands on Emily's phone for long enough to download and upload some photographs. Let's see what is going on


Well, here are two different approaches to child rearing. I prefer to spin Bluet round and round and round, whilst Emily likes to play aeroplanes:

Here is Bluet with her 'whiskers'

Emily is better at getting Ilona to smile than I am

 
Bluet eating a new foodstuff. Or maybe it is a David Blaine style magic trick?

Emily took Bluet to Target. For entertainments, Bluet was given a book to draw in. This is a picture of Ilona sucking her dummy

Here is Ilona not sucking a dummy

and here is me with Ilona

Afternoon Activities

Every afternoon, once Emily gets home, Bluet takes a minute or two to play on her changing mat. This is a special time of day for everyone. First, she looks at the book of faces hanging above her bed, then, with a smile she....well, I don't want to spoil the rest of the film for you (in case there is a twist at the end). Then., it's off to the park (not included in video). Enjoy.

Mornin'

Bluet, this morning, just before the Nanny arrived to feed and look after her, sitting upright on the sofa, then falling over. There are some cheeky smiles along the way.

 

Celebrating with a Smile

Today is the one month birthday of Bluet. Fortunately she is too young to expect cake or presents on such a day. However, she did greet us with a charming smile this morning; as she'd just eaten we'll assume it meant she was happy. Have to stop now, she just woke up from her nap (Dad is babysitting again).
