And here she is looking less evil:
These were actually taken yesterday morning when we went to the park, and TECHNICALLY AJ turned six months old today, but we really only got one photo today, with Instagram shortly after we got up this morning:
AJ enjoys sitting on Daddy. I particularly like how his knees form a sort of throne here.
She also briefly enjoyed the baby swing at the park yesterday, but then it became a little too scary. She's not quite big enough.
Her very favorite game is one we learned from Mama Lu, wherein I bounce her on my knees with accompanying narration:
"This is the way the ladies ride: trot, trot, trot, trot!" (measured up and down bouncing)
"This is the way the hoydens ride: gallop-y, gallop-y, gallop-y, gallop-y!" (frantic up and down bouncing)
"This is the way the farm girls ride: higgle-dee, piggle-dee, higgle-dee, piggle-dee!" (slight up and down bouncing with side-to-side swaying)
(The narration has been slightly modified. I also call the baby bunny in The Runaway Bunny "she," and while I was pleased that ONE of the six pirates in This Is Not My Pirate was identified with a feminine pronoun, I edited our copy with a sharpie to bring the ratio to 1:1.)
It really was beautiful at the park, and the lake didn't even stink, which is honestly noteworthy.
