Happy Thanksgiving!

We took a walk up Stone Mountain today. It was my first time. Helen's second. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (i.e. I made it up). There were a lot of people going up and in the park for Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful day - warm and sunny by late morning. Here's Helen during a break going up. So happy and cute. Cath - that's the hat of Sophia's I was talking about - the braids are sooooo cute!
Who's the pretty baby in the mirror? Helen smiles shyly at herself. :-)
Helen's new Jenny Jump up. I love that foot.

Brrrrr. It's getting cold out.

I was trying to be all stealthy when I started this video. Sometimes it seems as soon as I point the camera at Helen, she stops doing whatever it was I wanted to catch. Anyway - it gets better at the end. This is another long video, so again, beware.

Helen video from Sat. 11/15

Warning - this video is over a minute and a half long. It's kind of dark as usual too, but she's really cute in it. We're going to have to buy some stage set lighting or something so you can see her in these better...

3 and a half month old Helen

Hi Aunt Judy. I'm sorry it took so long for my mom to upload new pictures. I kept telling her she needed to, but did she listen? Nooooooo....Here's one of me looking up at daddy. He came over to say hi.
I'm pleased as punch in this photo. If you were wearing something this cute, you would be too.
Check out my swirly tuft of hair sticking up at the back of my head - I've been working on that for weeks.Look at my rotund little belly - my mommy feeds me well.

Hi from Helen

Helen got the croup last Friday but is doing well. Her voice is still a little hoarse as you'll notice in the video, poor little bird. Daddy took her on a brisk walk today up Stone Mountain with her - the fresh cool air is good for her little lungs (mom found out after they got back - no worries, she was wearing a hat).

Happy Helen

Seriously serious.
I love her little ruffle butt.

Some video of Helen playing

Helen really likes her playing mat - thanks to C, B and T for this great toy! :-)
