Nina's First Year

Well, it would've been great if I bothered to publish this back in January, but a little distance from these video clips probably helped me narrow it down to the best of the best. The whole movie is still on the longer side, about 12 minutes, but that's only about one minute for each month of her first year! I must say it will be a thoroughly enjoyable 12 minutes, so grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine and get ready to feel really happy!

Fun Around Town

Now that Nina can go running anywhere she has discovered a whole new area of the museum. She took care of babies, built a rocket, drove the city bus (while gnawing on an onion), and of course went back to her favorite: driving the chicken tractor. Click the links for videos.

Our new favorite park is just minutes from the new house, and it doesn't have any playground, but something better: lots of dogs! We brought out the ball, which is really hard to kick while on a hill.

At home I surprised Nina by popping some packing bubbles, and she loved it!

We had Mother's Day dinner at Nanna and Papa's, where Nina gets to drive her own car!

Last Day of School

After a long winter these toddlers have emerged into spring with new skills, experiences, and love for exploration. When Nina started she just crawled around putting everything in her mouth, and today she scampered through the garden, touching flowers and chasing bubbles. What a great first classroom!

Here is Nina continuing to run long after crossing the finish line...

The Flying Piglet Race

Nina has finished her first official race! The actual 15-foot "course" was not so challenging so she kept running even after receiving her medal. She was all amped up before the start, even did some stretching, and then ran like a headless chicken until I sort of dragged her to the finish line. She loved it.
