Sorry for the delay. We're all doing fine. The baby (not so much a baby anymore) is doing really, really well, though she's not talking much. I mean, she makes tons of noises and busts out the occasional "Mama" and "Dada" and "ball," but really, I expected more, and her sentence structure is horrible. She is experimenting with her eyebrow and forehead expressions, and the other day looked at R and I, scrunched up her face in mock soulful pain, and sang, "Ooooooh." I have no idea where she got that.
We got a bike seat for her and she seems to enjoy it a great deal. It sits on the front of my bike rather than the back and she makes for a terrific windbreak.
Okay, some photos. I hope someone is still looking at this blog!
Howard and Mary come every week so Rachel and I can slip out to the gym and get some exercise sans baby. Zora and Mary are the best of buddies.
Zora's Aunt Mary (of the Freed Clan in Virginia) sent Zora some egg-shaped shakers she LOVES. She's shaking them here. She appreciated the packaging almost as much-- a cardboard tube and a silk handkerchief.
I've been working on some clothing design. I call this one "Dress I."

R has been baking bread lately-- amazing bread. Zora is a fan of all food, really, but fresh bread with a little butter and a pinch of kosher salt? It makes her very happy.
It's a shame our neighborhood has no proper hills.
