December the Singer




December's newest favorite song is "Are you Sleeping, Brother John?" Here she is, singing it. She's remarkably good at it and can sing the entire song...but the tough part is getting her to sing it when the camera comes out. Here are the lyrics, in case you can't get them from her song:

Are you sleeping, Are you sleeping

Brother John, Brother John?

Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing

Ding ding dong, Ding ding dong

Baby Lions

Lately, December has been begging to go to the Wild Animal Park nearly every day. The last time we went, it was a sunny and hot day, so we decided that December should get some sunglasses (aka "baby gasses," according to December). She picked them out and thinks they're pretty neato!



Here's one of the baby lions born at the Animal Park. There is one dad lion, two moms, and six babies between the two of them. They are such fun to watch, and they make me want to snatch one up and take him home!


There's some kids' sprinklers at the park that December always wants to play in, and since this day was so incredibly hot, we let her play.


She didn't find these quite as enjoyable as she thought, though. Showers, in general, scare her (she thinks there's something freaky about falling water), and these little "showers" made her nervous, too. Despite that, I still think she had fun, though...

Cannonball




We've been going down the the pool more recently as the weather gets more and more warm. December is ALWAYS game to go down and swim with us...

To the Swimming Pool!

Here's December hanging out in the hot tub, her favorite place to be.


This has got to be one of my all-time favorite pictures of December



Brad and December sitting together



December is slowly growing more brave in getting her head deeper under water. This is about her current depth limit.


The joys of splashing!


One of the reasons she loves to go to the pool is because she enjoys scampering around the pool deck, exploring everything.
