soundtrack to corn on the cob

don't you wish you remembered the first time you ate corn on the cob, smothered in butter?

mmm, corn...

hammock vs piggy

lilah loves swinging.  lilah loves piggy.  oh no!  what should we do?!  

both, of course.

Granny's Birthday

 

happy birthday, Granny!

we ate apple cinnamon cake and had tea and opened presents.  

all before dinner!

we love you, Granny!

Un. Deux. Trois. CinqSixNeufDix!

apparently, this is something Steven and Lilah were doing the other day, and Lilah has taken it on board to be the personal representative of funny-french speaking.

watch you don't pee your pants in the last 15 seconds.  (Rikki, i'm talking to you.)

baby theia learns how to jump on the bed

although she seems distracted at first, keep watching to see theia jump (probably for the first time in her life!).  

more music

we think lilah likes the drums more than the piano, but that is probably due to the fact that it's only an electric piano.  if she had a real one, i can guarantee she'd prefer playing on that.

lilah's first gig

without pictures, i am hoping you can imagine the blissed-out look on lilah's face as a three-piece rockabilly band (stand up bass, drums, electric guitar) performed a couple of '50s rock songs in the Glasgow University Union Debating Chamber at 6:30 pm on 20 June, 2009.

i forgot the camera.  

i also forgot the earplugs (but to be fair, how often do craft fairs have live bands?).

when the musicians were doing their soundcheck, the drummer gave lilah her very own personal drum-fill.  she loved it.  lilah loves drums.  i am so. not. surprised. 

and the guitar player made his guitar "whistle" (the slide whee-wheoouw) for / at little lilah.

she danced during the songs, clapped at the end, and screamed for more when the band left the stage.

future musician?  who knows.  

future music lover/festival attendee/concert-goer?  you bet your life she is.
