A mover and shaker

While we were on vacation (more on that to come soon), Veda decided it was time to become mobile. She was highly motivated by the cats, especially Pancho, who was incredibly patient and gentle as she chased after him (albeit at a snail's pace) and then proceeded to tug and pull and swat at him. At first, she was a bit awkward...

Fast forward 2 weeks.  the girl is on the move. It's definitely a game changer. We've quickly had to do some minor childproofing and we can no longer put Veda down and expect her to stay put. At the same time, her new found independence means she is capable of entertaining herself for longer periods of time. And she's pretty psyched to be on the go!

songs: Arcade Fire "Wasted Hours" and Devendra Banhart "Baby"

Still here...

hello friends!! i cannot believe i've let so much time go between postings.. i guess i got lost in the lazy days of summer. that, and we've been away the better part of the last 2 weeks visiting family in idaho. so many things to share in the next week or two (hopefully i'll have my stuff together). after spending time in a real house with room to breathe, i have house hunting on my mind. you know, the sort with  s p a c e  and  an outdoor area. these pics of a lovely backyard studio have me drooling. and dreaming...
