September
New pictures are up from September. The pictures include, in no particular order: a bowling trip for Nancy’s birthday, eating grilled pizza with friends, new toys from Opa (including an “igloo” tent), a going away picnic for our friend Kyla, an afternoon visit from Grandma Lo and Grandpa Bob, playing at a playground and at a fountain nearby, a trip to a dairy farm in Maryland, and a trip to a wedding in Southern Maryland.
Simona’s vocabulary has also broadened and now includes words like Ba ba (baden, or bathe), Na (Nase, or nose), Amn (Amen), Hi, Hola, Baby, Inken (trinken, or drink, but it also sometimes means essen/eat), titte (bitte, or please), Mama, and, as of today, Papa!!
One other amusing Simona story: Her new favorite game is to put her finger in her nose and wait until her dad says, “Finger weg!” (Get your fingers away!). She then laughs her head off and does it again. . . and again . . . and again. You should try it- maybe you’ll be equally entertained!
