our vee
rarely
sits still
anymore.

if you try
to get her to
sit still

20 months old

it is like you
are torturing her.

20 months old

quiet moments
of reading
have become
rarer
and rarer...

20_4031

now
she is
always
up
to something
when our
heads are
turned!

20_4033

vee just
wants to
be outside.

20_4235

and
go
go
go!

20_4026

mostly
she loves
to go
to the playgrounds...

and
play
in the sand.

and playing
in
lego forts...

and
sliding down
slides too.



. . . . .

when it is
cold and rainy
outside
we have
to resort to
indoor playgrounds...

co-op café play area (23mai).

when we were
visiting friends
in the
netherlands
this past month
we had a chance
to take her
to the nijntje museum
(aka dick bruna house)
in utrecht...

20_4162

an
amazing
playground
for
little ones...

20_4133

complete
with all
the things
vee had
seen in
her
nijntje books.

20_4154

there were
lots of
fun
things to do..

20_4139

but alas
all good things
must end
and
it is time
to head home...

there will
be more
time
for play
tomorrow
little vee.

7 months

weegrub_7months_veechair


this month
has been quite 
the adventure
for our wee vee...
she has
crossed borders
and 
ascended
high
into the mountains-
10,000- feet 
above sea level.

little vee
gets around.

in mid-march
we headed
north to
goettigen, germany
for a conference.
afterwards
we continued north
to visit
my aunt conny,
uncle edgar, 
& cousin tina
in bremen.

edgar and conny
were the first relatives
(besides omi)
to see vee
just a few hours
after she was born.

vee was quite smitten 
with aunt conny.

cousin tina gave vee
a gigantic teddy bear.

vee watched
uncle edgar
make us
flaming bananas.

. . . . . . .

at the end
of march
we took
a trip
to the mountains
of the valais
for a weekend
in a cabin
with our friends
christophe & jesse.

vee loved kelly.
they were soon
fast friends.

weegrub_7months_veekelly2

we took many trips with kelly...

we went in the gondola
up to
the the mountain titlis.

  weegrub_7months_momtitlus1

10,000 feet high!
the highest any of us
had been...

 weegrub_7months_dadtitlus1

she also saw castles
from grandson
to chillon.

. . . . . . .

vee is also
full of adventure
in everyday life.

she is curious
about everything.

she wants
to face out
in the carrier
when we take walks.

weegrub_7months_2heads

anything within
her reach is fair game.
from bottles to fondue forks.

weegrub_7months_bottlestealing


she has made
a forray into solid foods!

weegrub_7months_solids_peas















the verdict: not interested.


weegrub_7months_solids_first


we are still working
on that.

. . . . . . .

life with vee
is increasing
more fun
but more of a challenge.
every day
she learns something new
and so do we.

it's easy
to fall in love
with this little girl
as she shows us
more and more
of her personality
every day.
