With Bert and her daddy's t-shirt. She still has that babyish, slightly dazed look in this photo. In later pictures she is much more focused. |
Vera with her toy dog, a gift from our friends Russ and Holly. She loves to chew on this toy. It has four brightly-colored and distinctly-textured gnawable flat rubber paws, just like a real dog. Or at least as far as she knows, to date. I hope when she meets a real dog she does not try to treat it like she treats this one. |
Here she is... a smiling, damp bundle of love! |
Whoah... what are you doing with the camera, Dad? |
Don't worry, this is not her real hair. This will be a great photo to show to her prom date. |
Take outside in our apartment building's courtyard. Pensive. |
Take outside. Cute. |
In Erie, at the Presbyterian Lodge nursing home. Four generations: my mother, age 67; my grandmother, age 102, vera, about six months in this photo, and me. I'm 37. |
Her first whole dish of solid food (rice cereal). I think she had eaten a spoonful or two before now, but more of it stayed in her mouth this time. |
In her bath seat, in the tub. If you zoom in, you can see the flash- frozen droplets of water! |
A baby glamour shot! So stylish! |
