SkateBoard Baby!

And these I just had to share. Here is how we tried to break Olive of her gripping phobia of skateboards while we were still in Yellow Springs:

This did help a bit since the baby was not afraid of the skateboard. As you can see, Buda was protective/ made crazy by this experiment. Olive did make the journey a little bit from panicked to curious, but I am not sure that it stuck. However, here in the Bergh we have discovered a new fear to trump skateboards: people pushing shopping carts down the street. 

Anyway since we're on the subject of my best niece ever, here are a few more pics of Kai Soleil: 

On the blanket her gramma made her, daily crawling practice. 

And grooving on her toes. We all miss the skateboarding funny noisemaking little squishy!
