Leo saw this little girl at the Macy's light show in Philadelphia and just had to join in:

Lousa talks

Louisa is just starting to make communicative sounds at will. You can see her focus her energy on getting the sound out. And, um, what a sound.

She does know about turn-taking in conversation, but she's got a thing or two to learn about relaxing her vocal chords.

Besides all of the questionable behavior documented below, we also did manage to have a little fun last weekend.

First, we went to Alara's birthday party. Balloons! Cake! Stickers! And...an indoor bouncy! A good time was had by all.


And we stopped at the toy store, just to see what Santa's working on this year.



It was a bit much for some of us.



But we recovered. Whew!

Bad habits

Drooling.



Ahem.



Eating in front of others.



Thumb-sucking.
