This video is from the spring of ‘09, during a period where we were trying to teach Reina some table manners. Up to this point, if she wanted down from her high chair, she would point and yell “DOWN!” (and she does in the video).
See where that gets her…
Reina’s 3rd Halloween (and first as a big sister) was a fabulous one filled with food, campfires, s’mores, pumpkin carving, and trick-or-treating…
Thing 1 and Thing 2
I don’t know how she defeated the latch on Mommy’s make-up drawer, but this was the result. Look up “Caught Red-Handed” in the dictionary and this photo should appear:
Everyone is asking about Reina’s reaction so far to the new face of the family, so I thought I’d give a report.
So far things have splendid. Reina really hasn’t acted out and she’s been very interested in Sohni. As she and I were leaving the house yesterday, she even had the wherewithal to utter a slight “Bye Sohni.” Of course anytime we’re holding Sohni, Reina wants to be picked up too, but I think that is to be expected.
Here is a picture of Reina and Sohni together:

Here is the first pic of Miss Sohni. I’ll have some more pictures up later today.

Reina will be a big sister in just 2 more weeks. On the big day, in the morning of June 2nd, Reina will be Twittering from the hospital. We we also have a guest blogger announcing the birth here on the site!
Stay tuned!
Reina’s Aunt Jamie put on a wonderful (and early) Easter Egg Hunt over the weekend. The best part? Reina was the sole huntress and, as such, collected all the eggs. Something like 50 of them…With beautiful weather and the lush landscape of the famed “uberdeck” we got some great shots. I’ve put them up over at Shutterfly (public link). Enjoy!
The Great Egg Hunt
This is Reina’s new kitchen, with cool appliances to boot! Our living room has been turned into Imaginary Land, complete with said kitchen, dollhouse, and a small wooden castle.
