Sunday Skyping with Rosie

Silly Rosie.

She loved being upside down, and she loved saying 'upside down'. 

A current favorite book.  And no wonder why.

A quick game of peek-a-boo and then goodbye until next week.

Sunday Skyping with Rosie

Today Rosie was prepared for me with a book of colors.  We talked about her favorite colors -- which are pretty much all of them.

Then she got 'Angelina Ice Skates'.

Then she got close so we could have a little chat, Rosie style.

She helped her Dad put clean clothes on hangers.

 She modeled her Easter bunny ears.  She also showed me how the bunny hops but action shots are tough with still pictures.

 Keeping with the bunny theme she put the dancing bunny on the John Deere tractor.

And then she blew me a kiss goodbye.

Sunday Skyping with Rosie

Rosie showed me so many things this week.

She drew me a picture ...

... and we discussed the crayon colors.

She showed me some spin art that she did while at daycare lastweek.

She modeled her very stylish sunglasses.

I picked up my phone and we had a little conversation.

She checked her messages.

We had a chat.

She got silly.

And she blew kisses to me when we said goodbye.

Rosie read a lot of books for me today.  

The last book was 'Angelina Ballerina'...

... which led to dancing with her Dad.

Easter Update

My Skype pictures of Rosie in her Easter finery were pretty grainy so  Gus sent a much clearer one that I posted this morning.  I knew there was something very familiar about Rosie in her latest photo so I located this one of Gus which was taken in December 1982 when he was 10 months old.  Rosie is now 20 months old but the likeness can't be denied.

Rosie now selects her own clothes every day.  She certainly picked out a perfect Easter outfit -- so pretty in blue.  (Sorry for the poor quality of the picture.  I am just happy that Skype has been working better lately.)

Rosie climbed onto the couch so that she and I could have a chat.

Happy Easter !

Surprise Skyping with Rosie

Gus is on school vacation so we did a little Skyping.  He and Rosie are going to the zoo today so while he gathered things for their outing Rosie and I had a very nice chat.  What a happy surprise!

Sunday Skyping with Rosie on Saturday

Poor Rosie is covered in hives -- she is apparently allergic to penicillin which she has been taking for an ear infection.  Amazingly she is sweet and silly, and doesn't seem too bothered by her ailments.  There are no hives on her face but I saw her little tummy and it is hard to believe how happy she is.  And very entertaining.  

She built towers with Legos.

She laughed -- a lot.

She told me all about the animals in her book.

And she waved Goodbye!

Sunday Skyping with Rosie

Skyping is getting harder and harder.  Today I took just one picture, almost as soon as we started.  The video was working great and Rosie (newly recovered from an ear infection) was very entertaining.  And then my video froze -- I could hear the Portland end talking, and they could still see me, but the screen remained frozen.  This is so disappointing; time to give Skype some feedback I think.  Anyway, I'm glad we got to spend some time together.  And I am so happy that Rosie is feeling better.

Rosie was having fun with Play-Doh today.  I love watching her in action.

Sunday Skyping with Rosie

Rosie looked like a princess today.  She has just received a big box of hand-me-downs and because there are so many pretty things to choose from, she is actually wearing 2 dresses, plus a layer of crinolines!
