Sidewalks of New York

My dad and stepmom ("Don-don and Grangie") are in town visiting. Chris's parents ("grandma and grandpa") joined us for dinner. For an after dinner treat, Anya serenaded us all with her rendition of the 1890's classic song, "Sidewalks of New York". I was too lazy to move out of my chair while filming, so you all get a back-of-the-head view of the grand performace.

Down with ABCs

Not-So-Still-Life with Anya

Our first argument

Waking up

We often hear the bug chatting away in her crib after she wakes up. This morning, Chris grabbed the video camera to see what he could catch.

I love that little girl :-)

Next, on American Idol

You'll have to turn up the volume a bit to hear her at the beginning of the video:

Superstar material, I tell ya. She's obviously inherited my incredible singing skills. American Idol winner of 2026, totally in the bag.

Trot Trot to Boston

At preschool, the moms bounce the toddlers on our knees while singing (this is only part of the song):

Trot trot to Boston
Trot trot to town
watch out, baby.
Don't fall down!

And this is what I caught Anya doing this morning:

In dad's boots

We've been video camera-happy lately. Here's one from this afternoon...

Colors

"my shoes"

She spent a good 5 minutes trying to make "her shoes" work, but never quite managed.

Moo Baa La La La

written by Sandra Boynton. Recited by Anya Lodwig.




I didn't realize she had the book more or less memorized.

Thursday morning video

Our daughter sure is cute.

And I want to offer a semi-public thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Lodwig for getting us the Flip Video camera last Christmas, so we can take a million little video shots like above.

Anya's new trick

Anya shows her new trick to her grandma & grandpa Miller and great-grandparents Miller. Such talent in one so young.
