This baby, she is a changin'

I suppose one of the biggest reasons I feel so fortunate to be staying home with El is that I get to see all of the subtle changes, from the way she grips a toy to the new sounds she makes.  The things that entertained her just a month or two ago are boring now, so we have to constantly find new ways of making her smile.  My new favorite is making her Blast Off.  Now that I've done it enough times, when I tell her she's clear for liftoff and begin counting down, she breaks into a big grin.  For Mom, coming home from work tends to get a good smile.  And when that doesn't work, there's always this:

Yep, this baby, she is a changin'.  I'm looking forward to what fun, new games we'll get to play next.
