The Rat Face

We have posted a collection of funny photos featuring Mona's "rat face" expression, which she has been demonstrating for a few weeks now. Her "rat face" is accompanied by some funny breathing noises which you will have to imagine as you scroll through the images. There are about 130 photos in this series, so perhaps you should delay your viewing of them if you don't have the time now (4-5 minutes).

After you click on this link, hit the "slide show" button (look for the little green triangle next to the first photo), then use the arrow tabs at the bottom of the screen to scroll.

7 Heavenly Months

Mona just turned 7 months old. What's new with us? Let's see... (click on pictures to enlarge)

Mona experienced her first significant snowfall in January. Work was canceled for Daddy on a few days due to the weather, and we all put on jackets and ventured out into the cold. Mona was excited about the falling snowflakes.

Mona recently started eating solid foods, such as rice cereal, sweet potato, avocado and pear. Here she is eating for the first time.

She makes funny faces while eating, and there's no telling how much of the food actually gets down the hatch, but she's getting used to the process. (Below, Mona drinks from a glass for the first time.)


This article interrupted by a Dracula sighting:

Mona has grown two teeth, front-and-center on the bottom row. On her upper lip there are two tiny patches of dry skin, peeling off in strategic locations to set up a good photo. What a ham, that Mona.
