Tiny Dancer
Originally uploaded by catandtony318

After 4 weeks of traveling with a baby, I have been cured of my need to take e-baby on all my trips and will probably welcome the next trip all on my own. She is wonderful, but mama wants to stay out past 6pm and have dinner somewhere that doesn't have high chairs.

Still, we had a great time in DC, especially mom and e-baby, who visited monuments, museums, and the national Shrine. The biggest crowd they encountered was the one that e-baby attracted when she used a sign-frame to sing and dance for her appreciative audience. They laughed and snapped pictures of this crazy, laughing, dancing baby in the Smithsonian. Who needs Panda-Cam when you've got e-baby-en-arabesque??

More pictures here.

E-baby was so happy to see her daddy last night that she wouldn't let him out of her sight until she fell asleep. In other news, e-baby is still not too sure about walking on her own, but she can run all around if she's holding on with one hand. But the words, oh goodness gracious. She is talking (and signing) up a storm. Today she learned the word BIKE. I'm so proud. Unfortunately, the best talking video I have of her is in the bathtub, and of course I won't post it because of the internet pervs.

In more other news, I might have to go to Philadelphia on my birthday. Bummer. But I will enjoy staying out late and eating at restaurants that don't offer me crayons to go with my placemat.

Looks like you all had a great time during the entire trip. I can't imagine being without Miss C for 4 weeks so i can only imagine how SNG must have felt. Its great that you were able to take her with you, but I am sure everyone looks forward to just spending some time together at home.

I cannot imagine how you do that, with the airports and the extra luggage (diapers, baby clothes, car seats, oh my!), but more power to you. I don't think I could handle it.
Those are some great photos. Why is it that the best photos/videos are when they're naked? I have some awesome bathtime shots of C-baby and I'm the same way about not posting them because of the internet pervs. Argh.
