Remi Goes to the Aquarium

We took Remi to the Dallas World Aquarium yesterday and she loved it.  The sharks, crocs, penguins, monkeys were all very cool but Remi enjoyed seeing the elementary school kid exhibit the most. Initially bus loads of kids swarmed the building and Remi just couldn’t keep up with them.  They calmed down just enough to let our little baby to really begin to notice the animals.  I was a little worried that she would see the glass of each aquarium and just assume they were TV.  It was obvious she understood this wasn’t just TV…and not just because she couldn’t play with the remote.

Misc. December & January Pics

Random assorted pics from December & January:

Climbing Stairs

Remi will be 11 months old on March 6.  She has been climbing stairs for a month but can now do both flights in roughly half a minute.  As she nears the top of the stairs she grunts, “Meow!” which is, of course, Remi-speak for Cat.  Remi’s rendition of the sound “meow” is truncated into a single syllable…so, “Mow”.

We are dog-sitting for a few days and that has been a blast for Remi.  Initially the dog was classified as a “Meow” but in less than one day Anna had Remi calling him “Bow wow”.  We notice mimicry popping up all over.  When I change her diaper I rub an alcohol-based sanitizer into my hands. Remi copies the hand movements.  If she gets a hold of a towel she will initiate a game of “Peek-a-boo” by covering her head and ever-so-slowly exposing her face -all while laughing hysterically.  She is impossibly cute.

She loves art and especially text.  She has 3 pieces of art hanging in her room which she must admire for several minutes before leaving.  We have to move from picture-to-picture so Remi can point, touch and smile at each one.  If I wear a t-shirt with printed text she will awkwardly trace the outlines of each letter.  She traces a lot with her magic index finger.  Following patterns in fabric or the corners of a room.  She is a very aware little person.

These are some pics we took as she climbed the stairs today. She was ready for a nap so she got a little moody toward the end.  The climb goes a long way toward helping her nap easily.

Christmas-ish Pics

Yeah, I realize Christmas was 2 months ago.  Look, the website broke & work got busy.  Here is a collection of pics from around Christmas time. Grandma, Mac, Robin, Seda & Daegan even came down to Dallas.

Finally, some new pics!

These are all between month 3-4.  Just random pictures including Anna’s “The Many Hats of Remi” sequence.

Lashes

Mom requested pics of Remi’s eye lashes.  They are long.  These pics were taken on July 4th…Remi’s 3 month birthday!!

Manual focusing in a low light situation with no flash = less than crisp photos.  Love the bokeh though.

Memorial Day Pics

A few shots of Remi’s first Memorial Day.  We waited until the sun was less intense and went to play in the back yard.

Remi Pics [May 2]

Here are a few new pics of Rem-rem:

thumbsucker

Anna noticed it a couple days ago but now we have photographic proof: Remi is a thumbsucker!

Just like her daddy used to be.  Ahh…I’m so proud.

Remi in Nike

A few new pics of Remi.  She is wearing her little Nike cap and socks. This is right after a diper change…she is quite the little eater.  We are pretty much down to a routine of eat/burp/sleep/diaper change.  She throws in a few minutes of crying if we wait too long to do her favorite part of the routine (eating).  Other than that she is a good baby.
