Makena walking!

Makena started walking by herself this week. Here's a video.

Some Makena videos

I put a couple more videos of Makena up on youtube. Blog about them, too.

The first one of her in the box was completely unassisted. She pulled the box down, emptied it, tipped it over, and got in it. Hilarious.

House is sold

We're free and clear of the Sand Point Way house. Feels good.

I put up some more photos of Makena on picasa.

Finally, more pics.

I got the Montana pics on picasa and some of Makena around the house.

First time playing in the grass

...and it wasn't too bad.

I get a little ink on the Avvo Blog

I finally got unlazy and wrote a blog entry for Avvo. Prepare to be bored:

Are Q&A sites slowly eroding the natrual language search problem?

Sitting, Screaming, and Squeaking

And here is a bunch of pictures. Mackenzie took her camera to Sun Peaks and documented every waking second. And yes, we're super into ourselves, as you can tell from the sheer quantity of pictures, which I'm sad to say, are only a small fraction of the total number of exposures we have from that trip. I'm a little self conscience about the whole thing. It's all Mackenzie's fault :) ... and Makena's for being so dang cute.

Baby humor

I've discovered that it typically takes repeating something 3 times for a baby to find it hilarious. Take toe "nibbling" for instance. The baby thought process goes something like this:

Nibble nibble nibble... "What just happened there?"
Nibble nibble nibble... "Hmm... do that again, I am intrigued."
Nibble nibble nibble... "Oh, I see what you're gettig at. That's quite hilarious. Bravo."
