Mother's Day and More

With the return of the sunshine, we've gotten to enjoy Como - walking around the lake or conservatory 5 days in a row. Nina has been barking at dogs, smelling and then uprooting flowers, and dancing to the big bands playing in the pavillion.

Running amok

Nina has been extremely busy as of late.  She must investigate every sound, object, nook, and cranny.  She's having fun demonstrating her busy lifestyle for Nana, who's come to visit during our lovely Minnesota spring.  Luckily, Nina is keeping her active, running all throughout the house.

Photoshoot

We got some professional pictures done the other day and while we're still waiting on the higher-resolution pictures, here are some of our favorites. We're glad she got these taken before she came down with her current cold!

10 Months

Nina has hit double digits! She's crawling, climbing, and cruising at a much faster pace than her parents can maintain. She's always thrilled to see dogs, be outside, and play with her friends.

Fish face

Nina thinks her new fish face is pretty funny.  We do too.

Happy May Day!

With the cold weather outside, it was a great day to go inside and enjoy the Pan Asian Festival downtown. Nina loved watching all the dancers and listening to the music. Happy birthday wishes to both Bruce and Colleen!

Spring, is that you?

While Mother Nature in Minnesota has shown glimpses of wonderful weather but nothing consistent, we're at least making good progress. Nina no longer needs to wear a big coat in her car seat and outside walks are much easier. We've enjoyed some time at the park, but we're getting antsy for consecutive sunny days. Happy early birthday to Papa Rick!
