Time for the obligatory summertime pool video!

This time, though, it's choreographed! 

Something about the way Abbie waves her arms in this cracks me up every time I watch this video!

Sometimes I worry that we are bad parents...


Abbie insisted today on wearing her hair in a side ponytail, "like the girl in Napoleon Dynamite."

As she checked out my handiwork in the mirror, she said, "No other girl in my class has thought about doing this!  I'm going to be the first."

Yes, I thought.  I have no doubt that you will be the first... in kindergarten.   

You know what, though?  She looked really cute.

This isn't the clearest picture but it's the only one I took.

Yee-Haw!

The Girl Scouts had their Daddy (and Granddaddy)-daughter dance today, and the Mlineks rocked it.

(Miss Lucy insisted on jumping into the picture and bringing the crazy, as she so often does.)

 While the cow-folk were doing the "Tush-Push" (I am not even making that up!), Ruth was sitting around at home, being happy for no reason at all:

A good day all around!

Moment in time

Ruth just turned 6 months old, and here a few things about her now:

*She sticks her tongue out all the time.  Her tongue does not just stick out, she curls it up on one side of her lip, like she's concentrating on something.  She probably spends a good half of her day like that.

*She has learned how to cluck her tongue, and it makes her very proud if you cluck back at her.  I think she's under the impression that this is actual communicating.

*She is still not rolling from back to front, or really making any moves towards mobility.  She seems pretty content to just lie around and let all of us suckers entertain her.  The one thing she loves, though, is kicking her legs.  When I put her in her bouncy seat, she will kick her legs with all she's got, making the seat bounce up and down violently.

Here's a cute video of Miss Ruth, showing off both her total lack of understanding about moving around and her favorite tongue position:

Good morning!

Ruth kept me up more than usual last night, but it is impossible to feel grouchy when this is what you wake up to:
