Altoid & Other Cuties' Thread

Look for "heigh Ho, Mozart" There's a couple out like that. Another one in the series is "Good Night, Ludwig."

These sound like good suggestions. Thanks!

My 1 year old loves the "Baby Beethoven DVD". Has lil' Altoid seen this product? Maybe a nice Xmas gift for her!

I haven't seen the Baby Beethoven one, but having been a babysitter, I think I've seen all the other "Baby Einstein" videos, and some wannabe versions too. I like playing Name That Tune with the soundtracks.

We believe that means, "Merry Christmas to all, and happy holidays to the rest of you."

That goes for Piq and me, too.

Such a beautiful child....

[OperaTenor]

Here she is, five months old on New Year's Day:

And this morning, roughing it:

My guess is that you'll be quite happy when she graduates from fifth chair to potty chair.

:D
The year's best quip so far!

[piqaboo]

An excellent point indeed!

So far we have partially achieved intermediate step of high chair. If chair surface is slick, Altoid slides into the straps, but is happy to be in chair with a bit of texture to the seat!

Key difference in pix 4 & 5 months - a careful observer could locate a maternal shoulder behind the nearly-invisibly propped up child at 4 months. At 5 months, she's relying only on the bear for support.

pott-y chair! pott-y chair! pott-y chair!!!!!

That collar in the last pic looks like the one that GC wore in the posted opera pics. Now where is that thread so I can post them side by side?

Progress on the solid food front: We're not sure if she's trying to eat this or give herself an avocado facial.

[GreatCarouser]

Not just progress on the solid food front. Do my eyes deceive me or is she sitting upright without assistance AND using a utensil!!!???

[lliam]

It looks to me that she loves her food, just like her Mother.

What a wonderful photograph.

[OperaTenor]

GC, correct on both counts. However, she only bats ~.500 when it comes to hitting the target(her mouth), as evidenced by the avocado facial she's giving herself.

[mmichaelson]

Avocado facials are wonderful though!



She's getting so big!!!

[GreatCarouser]

Please send some avocado along with the quart of baby drool!

Old wrinkle-face.

Update on Altoid's wonderful Christmas.

[i](Somewhere on the board are shots of the amazing gifts sent to her by generous and sneaky people - I thought they were on this thread..... hmmmmmmmmm) :p

Altoid appreciated each and every gift and interaction. Its fascinating to watch her change in her handling and view of them.

Thank you all again!

Now Im headed out for a baby-fix!

[OperaTenor]

Actually, the photos are on the "Something Nice" thread.

She is a beauty indeed!
Free flute lessons if you move back this direction when she's ripe.

However, I've seen what happens when you spit up in a flute so we'll have to limit the avocado intake prior to lesson time.

(EEEEWWWW)
