Not pau yet, but....

I can't stand it...blog. must. be. updated.

Yeah, I know, I promised to outsource, but as Allison pointed out in the comment section, precious Tomie development time is being lost to sloth and indifference. (ahem...DAD)

So here goes. Tomie is really beginning to smile, laugh and talk to mom and dad. And we are her helpless servants, playing the fool for that not so elusive smile. What we have learned are these (for now) sure fire ways of making her higness crack a smile.
1) Stick out your tongue and giver her a raspberry
2) Sing A, I, U, E, O as a scale
3) Make Piggy noises
4) Kiss her belly

In other news...Grandma and Grandpa have come back and are staying for 3 weeks! Yey! So in addition to cleaning up the house again, they have been taking Tomie for stroller rides all over the neighborhood so that Mommy can blog....um...I mean work on her dissertation!
