Knuffle Bunny from The Frost Family on Vimeo.
Helen started loving the book Knuffle Bunny by Mo Willems when she was about 8 months old. Now that she's 18 months old, it's still one of her very favorites. Check out this video to hear her helping me read it.
The adults dragged the kids around the yard on a sled:
On Sunday, we went to Brad and Candice's where Helen worked on perfecting her spoon-feeding skills. Apparently, it helps to open your mouth really wide:
Brad took this photo on his iPhone and then fixed it up in Photoshop. Pretty sweet:
On Monday, we went to Jessica's to finish off the lovely BBQ weekend. Here's a video of Helen playing hide-and-seek on the swings:
Here's one of the preview shots from Helen's photo shoot on Saturday. Tatiana found this great photographer who only takes outdoor shots, so we waited for spring and ended up spending a very chilly morning in a park in St. Paul right on the river. Helen loved it despite the cold. She's still running around saying, "Kim! Kim!" and pretending to take pictures. I'll post more of these 18 month photos when I get them.
Every day with Helen is a happy mother's day, but Sunday was especially lovely. We spent the afternoon at Fort Snelling State Park - one of my very favorite destinations in the Twin Cities.
Two really funny things happened on our walk through the woods. First she's learning about her last name, so I turned to her and asked her what her last name is and she stopped in her tracks, looked up at the sky and said, "uuuuuuuuuh. hmmmmmm. fffffffff... uuuuuuuh.... FOSS!!!!!" and we cracked up. She was so proud of herself and kept repeating it. "Henum! Foss!"
And here's a little video:
