Lunch from on High

Devious Plans at Tea with Tia Eva

Chillin' with Tia Eva....


"I want mama's tea!"


"Oh! Hi, mama!"


Mama's tea....


Oh...It's Tia Eva! "Hello, Tia Eva...."


How do I get that tea...?


I should go for it. Is she looking? "Heeeyyy, mama...No, no I'm not doing anything."


"Oh look! It's Daddy!"

Final Fitting!

Denise Shardlow made my mama a dress since she is the Maid of Honor in Ajitmam's wedding next week. Denise made me a little dress to match my mama from left over fabric. She is an amazing designer and a super nice person! She uses sustainable fabrics such as bamboo, hemp, and silk to make versatile, comfortable, flattering, unique pieces with a lot of wearability and natural beauty. Though I am a young consumer, I hope you will take my suggestion and check her out! DENISE SHARDLOW DESIGNS

Additional Accomplishment

I was playing with my mama, using her legs to stand up like usual, when I decided to try standing on my own again. I wobble a bit as I try to let go usually. This time I wobbled a lot less, let go, and stood up on my own for 2-3 seconds! My mama was watching my spectacular trick, thankfully...

Beautiful Day in the Garden with My Dogs

I got fussy and wanted to be with my mama, but she was hopefully planting seeds. I had my dogs, though, whom I love.

It Happened

I crawled.
My parents were sitting outside with the guy who was at my house about gutters. My mama had me on a blanket with my IKEA toy, the one like at Anjali's house. Mala was on one side, and Peelu was on the other. I was sitting in the middle playing with my toy when I turned around and saw Mala. don't know why, but I really wanted to go pet her. I got onto all fours as usual, rocked back and forth a bit, took two knee steps (all normal)....and then I took another and three more! I crawled over to her and held her paw. Then I sat back down and strategized about how to get back to my toy.
Happily, my mama saw it, my daddy saw it, and there was a witness.

Nature Exploration

E-Ma's Backseat Fun: Revised and Extended!?

My mama made a video/slideshow of the full set of E-Ma's pictures of my funny faces. Notice how I like to chat a bit and then look back at E-Ma, then fuss a little, and back to chatting. The music is a beautiful song Uncle Joe gave us called "Kakokolo" by a musician named Samite. Can you believe a former child Ugandan soldier makes such sweet music that little Umas like me love? I have so many people making up a big loving family around to keep me from harm and help me discover and explore the world around me and who I am. So, I give them amusing moments like this with my show of faces as a reward for travelling with me on this journey. I love you, my big family.

Summer Photo Shoot

E-ma took the photo shoot, so the work is coming....
