This is Freyja's little vintage German girl dress. I absolutely love it, and when I see it I think of little girls with head scarves collecting flowers in a basket while strolling in a meadow somewhere a la Heidi, singing Von Trapp children, and little boys in lederhosen. When she wore it last all the little old ladies thought she was just adorable. Unfortunately, she wasn't being very adorable when I was trying to take her picture in it. She was frowning at me, making unpleasant faces, and furiously rubbing her eyes. This one is the happiest of all the shots I took. Apparently my desire to take photos wasn't nearly as pressing as her need to take a nap. Oh well, maybe next time...Wednesday, August 20, 2008
The Hills Are Alive...

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(Melting voice....)
I also like her with a frowning face! You know, other people's kids are even cute when they're screaming! Especially on photos, that are silent, har-har.
(We're going through a rough phase with Timothy, he screams at the top of his lungs every time something is not quite to his liking, which is, unfortunately, often... I'm afraid I will be even less tolerant once the baby is born and he'll be constantly threatening to wake her up. Oh well, challenges are there to be met.)
Freyja does the exact same thing...mostly if you're trying to remove her from something she's not supposed to be messing with. Yay! She also has another nice trick. When she's decided that she's done eating...rather than just STOPPING, she starts throwing food on the floor. Why does she do that? Who knows. I'm sure she'll stop eventually.
