Stephie's newest hobbies

**This post brought to you by GrAllen!**
Climbing on the coffee table is Stephie's latest pastime.How's this, Gramps?After lots of table-fun, Stephie spent at least 45 minutes trying to figure out the buckles on the portable high-chair.The whole experience had to include a test drive.When told not to stand on the tray, she sat upon it instead.Stephie insisted on putting everything in its place.When I asked Stephie if she was going to be an engineer, she said "Yaaaahh."She was finally able to lock the buckle but hasn't yet figured out how to unlock it (thank goodness!)

Kisses for Robert!

Tonight we had our friends Anne, Tim, and Robert (2 years old) over for dinner. Meet Robert. Isn't he cute?Stephie thought so too. The "leopardess" stalks her prey......c'mon, just a little kiss!"I'm outta here, man!"Don't worry, Stephie wasn't completely rejected. Later Robert agreed to a high five.

Tram time

These pictures are a few weeks old, but look at how much fun Stephie had with Faux Pas exploring the tram in their backyard! She even learned to "mind the gap" getting on and off. Fun!
