Mother's Day
"Sleepin' next to mama!" Happy Mother's Day to me. It appears that no one has any plans to bring me breakfast in bed this year, but I've got something even better.

Fly on plane!
Bibliobaby, mama and brothersister are all on our way to "Safrisco!" to see if we can meet our friend B's new baby brother or sister (who has not yet put in an appearance). As usual, takeoff knocked Bibliobaby right out; not as usual, she refused the offer of mama milk in favor of looking out the window and we paid for her seat since she's now two. Five days of travel and solo parenting, here we come.

From our friend Lucy, we have a video showcasing Bibliobaby's rapidly expanding vocabulary/mimicry skills. She is also starting to reliably identify a few letters (O, P, B, E) and unreliably identify a few more (R, T, N-as-Z). (Reliability in the previous sentence is defined loosely, as if she doesn't feel like showing off she will simply start singing the whole alphabet song.) What I'm loving about the song these days is that while she can get most of the way through with only a few skipped letters, she reaches the end and sings "now I've sung my A B C D E F G" and so on. Recursively delicious!

Bibliobaby really enjoys playing with Uncle Titu. Especially since he has no dignity to offend.

Sister of the future
Bibliobaby is thrilled to announce that she will be a big sister at the end of the summer!
Mom and dad are pretty darn pleased, too.
The cats are cautiously evaluating their strategy.
