Aloha!

I recently read this section, and realized I hadn't updated it in over a year! In that time, we've moved to Australia, had a new baby (added to this blog as Babyroo!), and Babykins is now 3! It's been an exciting year.

I'm not even pretending anymore that I'll add to this blog every few days. It's more like once or twice a month - if I'm lucky. But thanks to everyone for continuing to read it. I love my family, and I hope you do, too!

Shake it like a Polaroid picture...

One of Babykins' favorite games when we travel is pulling all of the clothes out of the suitcases that we've just finished packing.  Last weekend, in an effort to keep Babykins entertained and our bags packed, Hubbykins flipped through the TV channels looking for some music.  It was 8 am on a Saturday, and there weren't a lot of choices, so Babykins ended up watching "The Week's Top Dance Hits" on MTV (I know, I know - MTV - judge us if you must).

As Babykins sat on the sofa, she started to bop along to the music.  Her typical dancing style involves bobbing her head up and down, followed by swinging her arms back and forth, and culminating in a full body wiggle.  After a few music videos, however, we looked over to see Babykins with both hands in the air above her head, bouncing up and down in a perfect imitation of the hip hop dancers.  After laughing for a minute, Hubbykins and I paused, looked at each other, and immediately reached for the remote.

Seeing Babykins wave her arms in the air like she just don't care is cute, but it seemed prudent to change the channel before she started suggestively wiggling her diaper.

Days later, I was sitting on the floor singing "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" when Babykins suddenly threw both hands up above her head and started bouncing.  It seems the new dance move has stuck.  All I can say is, "Whoop, whoop!"
