Raven | March 2007

Updated: 5.3.2007 \| Added 6 new pictures. This completes this month

If you can believe it, Raven has become a little camera shy! We have to spend a few minutes in front of the computer, showing her pictures and talking about everyone that loves her and wants to see her pictures to convince her to let us take pictures now. She hams it up some, and moves really fast, so the number of "usable pictures" has fallen off sharply. We are trying though.

	As seen on Tallen's site (a different picture), they enjoy the same toys and playing together. Raven loves her little brother and takes excellent care not to hurt him by accident.
	She is done, and putting up the blocks. Tallen later had something to say on the matter. He wasn't done playing.
	Raven gives us a grin when we tell her how proud of her we are.
	She does show us what she wants to play with next. It's story time!
	Asked for a photo of her smiling, she worked VERY hard not to.
	She couldn't help herself though, and we got this one.
	After placing the soap bubbles on her chin she annouced "Hey look, I have a beard like Daddy!"
	Mommy drys her off with the really soft baby towels she still uses.
	At the store the other day, Raven announced that Mommy has sunglasses, and Daddy has sunglasses, and Grandma Nay has sunglasses, where are hers? You can guess what happened next, right?
	Proud of them, she models them for us.
	The TV doesn't lose her attention for long though. Got to love Sponge-Bob
	I took a photo that showed a lot of white background and clipped this out. Green eyes today.
	Raven pops a fruit snack
	Wanted you to see the length of her hair. Remember, these are tight curls!
	Hey, put up your dukes and fight like a man.
	Does this remind you of anyone?
	Raven attempted to give Tallen a hug, but he was on a mission and wouldn't be still...
	...so she kissed his head instead.
	We didn't have a lot of pictures, so put batteries in the camera and sent Glenn on a mission. The following pictures are the result of that mission.
	Glenn is making Raven into "Miss Piggy".
	What Daddy? Oh, you interrupted my program for this?
	Okay, I will pose for a treat!
	How's this? You like this? I got more where that came from!
	See? This is a really big smile.
	And you like this pose?
	What about if I sit over here?
	Is this cute enough for you Daddy?
	Here, let me hold Tallen up... you like this?
	Okay, is it treat time yet?
	What? Oh my gosh Daddy, that is so funny.
	Okay, enough posing, let me work.
	Pretty proud of herself for how high this stack got.
	Hmmm, a book I haven't seen in a while.
	Cheese. Candy now?
	Okay, the little cutie reminds me of Britene some days! Sitting in the wicker basket (because she can) and giving me a look!
	She got busy exploring the cell phone bag I gave her (she has three cell phones!)
	Oops, busted with the crackers (again!)
	They were playing downstairs and having big fun rearranging the furniture. Tallen just loves his (my) pillow.
	So, like I was saying Grandma Nay, if you leave now, you can be back before Dora is over and we can all eat FRIES together!
	It's early morning at the house, and I am certain the sun coming in from the CLOSED blinds was enough to make even Stevie Wonder squint.
	Dang, these things just don't want to stay where I put them!
	Making a case for McDonald's (again). It doesn't take much to fling a fries craving on her.
	Hey, you are blocking the view to the TV. The least you could do is move a little to the left!
	A game she and her Mommy play involves Raven running to do what Mommy calls out in a song (If you are happy and you know it). Here, we see the wind in her hair as she runs from the TV to the couch.
	This big grin is just because she loves her Mommy.
