Giggles

We have had a few moments where Karis has let out a solitary giggle. Tara and I usually turn towards each other as if to say. "Did you hear that?" Well as you are about to witness, this past weekend there was no mistaking it. Karis is a full fledged giggler. Enjoy!

New Developmental Milestone Discovered

We believe that we may have discovered a new developmental milestone that falls right between rolling over and giggling. It is Shopping! My guess is that this milestone may have been overlooked as it is theoretically only applicable to female babies. As you can see below Karis reached out and grabbed the jeans that she thought would look best on her.



Karis then proceeded to try on a bandana, commenting: "Ahhh, gooo, phhhh!" Which is translated from baby talk as: "That's how I roll!"



She then tried on some sun glasses. The style is large these days so she found the biggest pair around.



We think this may be a break through in child development. So all you developmental psychologist that read this blog, please contact us... We could use your input on which journal would be most appropriate for a submission.

Some Like it Hot

We think Karis might be teething. They say it's more painful than child birth apparently... Our doctor pointed us to a homeopathic pain reliever to apply to her gums. We have another idea. A little spice should numb those gums up really well!

Say Cheese!

We got our first portraits of Karis this past week. I wasn't there but Tara said that she was crying and was really tired. It's amazing that any of these turned out at all! Maybe these people are just really good with photo shop? Anyway, we had to scan the pictures in because it was a ridiculous amount of money to get the digitals...
