Backpack, Backpack...

Hi Daddy! I'm buckled in but I can still squirm!

Backpack, backpack... on the bus!


Yummy birthday dinner for mommy at Fogo de Chao. Mmmmmm.



We had a wonderful time at IAN's annual family picnic in Denver. Semira was fascinated with the various forms of transportation we took. She enjoyed flying through clouds on the airplane. Then she loved the train in the Denver airport. And best of all was the shuttle bus to the rental car place. She loved buses so much that she pointed out every single one she saw.


We also decided that for those times when she wasn't exactly in the mood to hold someone's hand, she probably needed a special backpack with a tether. I was very pleasantly surprised when she was thrilled to have her very own backpack, just like Dora the Explorer. She sang Dora's backpack song all weekend.

Happy Birthday Semira!

Once she opened the gift with the ball in it, it couldn't lose contact with her hand.
