Carrousel Ride


What little girl doesn't love a carrousel ride? I know this will be the first of many, many more. It was the highlight of our day at the zoo...And daddy thought it was pretty fun, too - but he got dizzy.

A Day at the Zoo






What a wonderful dad...what a wonderful day. We took Greta to the zoo! She had her very first carrosel ride with Daddy. We saw elephants and cheetahs and tigers and gorillas! The sun was bright, but there was a nice cool breeze in the shade. We found big wooden rocking chairs in a breezeway and had lunch and enjoyed the people watching, as well. Derek and I decided that one of the best things about being a parent is that you get to enjoy being a kid again and run through the zoo with out any cares...except finding the dippin dots stand.

Tall Drink of Water





Greta loves to have a sip of cold water... and pour it down her front...and pour it down your front. She loves it. She is on her way to becoming a big girl

How did we get off to such a quick start?

Greta is six months old. We wonder where the time went. Each day is so new and full of changes...Greta discovers something different every minute, and with each exciting discovery we find that our lives are more exciting and more enriched as well - more than I ever imagined!

Greta is full of life and love. She shows a dimple right underneath her right eye with every smile. Oh! And her smiles are also showing teeth! She has two front bottom teeth and is currently working on 3 top teeth all at once! She is almost ready for corn on the cob for the Fourth of July!

But, Greta doesn't give out smiles for just anyone. Never have I met a baby that is such a deep thinker and feeler...we call her sensitive, or maybe wise. Greta absorbs every energy around her. I have seen her study the faces of each family member or friend in the room - one by one, as she finds her place in our lives.

Greta loves her daddy and is very excited to celebrate his first Father's Day. Greta loves to feel his kisses on her cheeks and tummy - she giggles with abandon and squeals with glee. Greta thrives with his strong calming way and she adores his silly games.

Greta and me, her mommy, have a different way -I think we share heart strings. I think we are both in love.
