Family Picture

Family picture time in front of the nice new , WARM, wood stove.
Everybody's smiling but me!!!

Keeping warm

Of course, Casablanca is usually warm and sunny..

except in the winter...........

.

When it's cold, damp and RAINY!!!

Chow time

After six months of breast milk I've moved up the ladder to
veggie soups with meat, chicken, or egg yolk,
nice fruit dishes of all kinds...
I'm also eating rice and "oats"and "petit suisse"

Yes, of course, it does take a bit of practice......

but Mommy's such a good cook!!

Carrots are my favorite veggie..

And I like my "petite suisse" and fruits best...

My favorites ??

Let's see, pears, apples, kiwis and oranges!!!!

On my last Dr.'s visit I was 8 kilos and 63cm long...

that was before I began "eating" !!

Grandma can't wait till the next visit to see how much I've grown....

Eating is such FUN!!!

A quiet , rainy Sunday

Greetings from Casablanca where I'm spending a week.
The week end was rainy and cold, so everyone entertained themselves indoors.
Tammy practiced her yoga......

I decided to sit this one out and just take pictures!!!! :-)

Mehdi introduced Maya to the piano......

"Looks easier than it is"

" I can't smile now, Grandma, I'm concentrating!!"

First Christmas.......

First Christmas present!

" Does it taste as good as it looks? "

" Hey, somebody, help me open this, please!!"

She's not sure what it is, but she does like her new music box..

Christmas Visit

I'm way behind time posting pictures

of our wonderful Christmas visit...
But at last here are a few.

Tammy, Mehdi and Maya came for four days and I took well over,
two hundred pictures ..
I still had the time to play and cuddle Maya

and fix a lovely Christmas dinner!!

A "smooch" from Gandma, who's sooo glad to see Maya!

Maya 's wondering whether "Nonno"'s going to "smooch" her, too!

And she hopes he shaved this morning!!

She loved the Christmas tree and Grandma's songs!!

Nonno with Maya and her lovely praying angel....

she loves to listen to it!!

Play time

"I was having a great time on my play rug,

playing with Mr. Giraffe...then...

.... I turned and saw Mrs. Elephant.....wow , what a surprise!!

What big blue eyes you have, Mrs. Elephant!!!!"

" Just before bedtime, tucked between two blankets

made by my great Grandma Hoke,

I decided to get acquainted with my new playmate bunny rabbit"

"I'm sure we're going to be best of friends!!
