Granddaughter Elizabeth Ann (Elle) is now 9 months old.   She rolls all around the floors, sits up, goes after the cat, and has started scooting (almost crawling) over the floors.  She also is really able to move rapidly across the house in her walker (video of that is here).   We’ve been actively baby-proofing the house for the fourth time in 32 years, locking down the electrical outlets and installing baby gates on the stairs.    Elle has just started to get upper front teeth and has a pretty complete row of teeth on the bottom.  She’s eating solid foods and loves sweet potatoes especially.   She’s still not sleeping through the night, but is a pretty happy kid in general.  Her sister Alex can really make her laugh.    The video below shows her scooting across the floor to get a toy car, which she promptly sends driving across the room.  More videos are on our YouTube channel here, and photos are on our Picasa site here.

Bill and five-and-one-quarter year old Alex (that’s the way she describes her age) helped open S. Lake Union Park in Seattle today, Saturday, September 25th. We drove down to the neighborhood, then took the South Lake Union Streetcar to the Park. This was Alex’s first ride on the streetcar (she loves trains and Thomas the Train). At the Park we kayaked for the first on S. Lake Union, Alex got her face painted and potted a red current bush plant which be brought home to be added to the craziness of plantings on our little lot. We got ice cream cones and the beautiful new park, then took the streetcar back to our car and came home. One photo of us kayaking is below but more photos are on our Picasa photo site here.
