Appeasement.

by Alexa on September 23, 2008

I am aware that posting has slowed to a trickle around here, and I will attempt to placate you by offering this poor-quality 55-second video of my baby hopping around in the uncoordinated fashion one would expect, given her parentage:

Regular posting will resume later this week. Pinkie swear.

As much as I enjoy your writing and want to know how you are and what is new – I have to say that I completely love distractions like this one. Keep them coming.

Totally forgiven, for that is the cutest viedo ever!! I can’t get over those adorable little legs, squeals and the fact that she’s already hanging out in a jumper!! She’s so amazing! and beautiful too!

So cute. With her little arms not showing most of the time, and the surprised look on her face, she looks like she woke up to find herself in a runaway shopping cart bumping downhill across the parking lot.

Super duper cutie!

Her cheeks are sooo sweet. I just bet you kiss ‘em a million times a day.

It is like tiny baby tap dancing. I love it! Forgot all about lack of posts. What posts?

It is so good to see her getting bigger, accomplishing milestones, growing up… Just…wow.

Love this! We have the exact same sitch going on here. Rainforest Jumper w/ books/pillows, etc. to help them reach the ground. Isn’t it fun watching her “get it”? All of a sudden Matthew was realizing that the music played when he moved. MAGIC!

I love seeing pics of her – she is just too gorgeous!

She’s a maniac! Maniac!

Rock out, Simone. Join your parents in a group happy dance, no matter how uncoordinated.

She looks like she’s tap dancing! I love that coy little wave in the middle…what a charmer! My word but that girl is a sweetheart!

I think this video could probably bring about world peace, so you’re forgiven for the irregular posting!

So cute! We had that same jumperoo and my son lived in it for about 6 months. He got really good at what we called the Irish jig, which was an extremely fast and ferocious bounce from one leg to another. It amused us for hours! You have much to look forward to. Sadly, he grew out of it around a year old, but I have lots of videos and pictures.
