Wet, wild and wacky

This little family decided to venture into the wild, wild side that is Camden NJ. The purpose -- to investigate the Adventure Aquarium and visit its illustrious shark tunnel and other wonders. The little Miss M seemed to have a fantastic time -- she looked excitedly at the big rays, sharks and scuba divers in the main tanks! Mom got in the action by touching a shark and Dad got into the action by wearing the 3-D glasses for the thrilling 4-D experience. We also touched a ray (less smooth than the shark) as well as admired the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Pictures of the adventure are below.






In other news -- miss M is becoming more and more independent. She is officially, officially walking, it is by far her primary mode of locomotion. As we mentioned earlier she has gone on a kind of an eating strike, she will only eat what she feeds herself, which has left us scrambling to make sure that she eats something besides cheerios.


We have branched out to teething cookies, which is good because she is getting two more teeth on top, for a total of 6 teeth (if you're counting).


Next on the food list is alphabet pasta with butter and parmesan (which was one of Mom's favourite treats when she was a girl, it was all I would eat on the trip to California). She is a very determined eater, even if she doesn't quite have the hang of feeding herself yet.


Finally for this update -- she is on the cusp of her first words -- The talker was caught on film practicing for what I hope will be her first word -- "Mama".
