uh-oh-oh

Ramona's has ditched Raffi and Dan Zanes in favor of new flashier tunes that have music videos. She first heard this tune in a cafe, and was instantly smitten. So much so that we bought the music video from itunes.

a little bit of christmas and beyond

As you can see these photos start with Ramona's new underpants. She thinks they are wonderful. I thought I'd be artistic and do our christmas photo's backward ending with the stocking. Its a statement, I am just not quite sure what...

all things ramona

I love Ramona.

She makes us all laugh. Today she insisted on wearing her underpants over her pajama's all morning. It was quite a trial to get her to take them off and keep them off when we went out to play with friends this morning.

I realized at some point this week that Ramona is also nearly two years old. Which would explain this sudden desire of hers to do everything by herself, and the constant no no no. However if I actually do something right she applauds me like my kindergarten teacher would and it does feel extremely gratifying.

Ramona is entering official childhood with the same grace she had when she entered our lives. She is charming, thoughtful and incredibly silly. Here are a few favorites from the past few months and one reflective shot from exactly a year ago. I have posted it before but I simply love the photo! Note the little pink winter vest she is wearing...she still insists on wearing it everyday despite the fact that it flips up its so short and itches her chin.

love mary and matthew and ramona!
