Sonja v. The Hamster

While visiting her cousins, Sonja got to play with their hamster. She liked it, but as soon as it stuck its head out of the ball, her opinion changed.

Communication

Tonight, we were sitting around my aunt and uncle's table enjoying some dessert and conversation.

Sonja wandered out of the dining room and around the corner. I went to check out what she was doing. I found her picking up our shoes and coats. Since she seemed safe, I returned to the dining room. We continued to visit and finish our snacks. One by one, Sonja brought each of us our shoes and our coats.

It was time to leave. She was tired and had enough of our chatting.

So, without any words, Sonja communicated to us that she was done for the night.

We drove home and she went right to sleep.

The Dress

A few years ago, while Kari and I were in Norway, we went to a little shop in Trondheim and bought this dress. We didn't know if we would ever have a little girl or not, but for some reason both of us really liked the dress and decided we could always give it someone else if we never used it. But now we have a little girl and the dress is going to be used. It won't really fit Sonja for a few years, but we figure we can get some great pictures of her in it until it fits.
