Baby!

Gypsy's baby, who lives in the fairy tale house, is hard to photograph: since I've seen her last, she has gained lots of mobility--she rolls over like she's never gonna stop, and she crawls as if she's trying to breaststroke across the carpet in a modified military crawl (her mother takes her to swimming lessons, which may have something to do with it). When you try to take a picture, she either spins out of the frame or starts crawling toward the camera so that she can put it in her mouth.

Speaking of Gypsy's mother, that woman makes some amazing strawberry shortcake. It's my first strawberry shortcake of the season. And strawberry shortcake may be my favorite dessert (it's certainly right up there with tiramisu and strawberry punchbowl dessert).

But back to the baby--not only can she move, but now she can also giggle, too! And she can clap, and she's super proud of it. A multi-talented baby, for sure.
