Daily Ada: 30 March 13: Getting ready for Easter!

I decided to demonstrate egg dying for Easter for Ada. It's not done over here, so they don't have all the usual trappings (i.e. PAAS kits) readily available (though I probably could have found them online if I had planned ahead), so I had to make do with what I could get easily. And the other problem is that pretty much 99% of eggs over here are brown, rather than white, so I had to track down some super fancy eggs, that where a pale blue, rather than white - the closest I could get.

The result is that it didn't work, but thankfully last year Mom gave me little dye-pens (from PAAS, of course) that hadn't dried out completely. Between that and some washable markers, we have some slightly colored eggs.

It did also give me an opportunity to use the super cool technique I found online for dipping the eggs - put them inside a whisk. It's awesome!

Ada was most excited by the egg carton. Whatever.

See - egg in the whisk! It totally works!

Ada's first egg

It's not working, but hey, we tried

Bonus photo from our trip to Clevedon today. It was super cold.

We got a new towel from IKEA. She wouldn't take it off for a while.

She managed to get into the basket all by herself. Then shook the tambourine to celebrate.

She has two of my tank tops on. She really likes putting on clothes.

More work with the chicken puppet.

Here are a few photos of what Ada has been up to, which I haven't been fast enough to post as "Daily Ada."

Getting instructions

Ready to present!

Daily Ada: 17 February 13

Ada's first official step. I was taking a picture of her standing on her own (she had just stood up from sitting on the floor, without the aid of a wall), when she decided to take a step. She seemed pleased with herself. She immediately sat down.
She hasn't seemed interested in trying again since then, so maybe that was enough.

I didn't get my act together to get a "Val(l)entine's Day" photo shoot organized.
So here are two pictures from our trip to the park today. Today the neighborhood sheep were up close and personal, which Ada enjoyed. Though she gets really distracted by airplanes - that's why she's looking away - one was flying overhead!
