evan, lindsay, nina, elena and esther

Nina and I were saying goodbye to Evan one morning as he left for class. I asked him to grab the camera and take some pictures since I'm usually commander in chief of photography in our family, and me canso.

Nina had a flu last weekend. Luckily it passed and one upside is she has become more cuddly.

Nina's getting better and better at everything! She loves waving goodbye, sometimes with both hands. She'll practice it in her free time. Her dance moves have not suffered either - still very slow and methodical which is amazingly entertaining to watch. Nina loves to clap and has learned to grab my pinkies and make me clap too. She's also started shaking her head a lot (and she'll watch herself do it in the mirror over and over) which I realized finally today she learned from us telling her no don't do something, as I watched her mimic me say no to her. (Duh.) Lately she's been practicing walking with us leading her by her hands. We can't believe she'll already be a YEAR next wednesday!

Thanksgiving post to come. We're building up a huge supply of little phone videos, maybe we'll be able to post some of those too!
