We started our Sunday (10/31) at the Chapel of Miracles, a place where Robb spent a lot of time when he first moved to Boulder. He actually lived there for one summer both as a student and as a teacher. This is also the site where he went through ordination in ministry. Anyhoo, Robb attended the service that morning to honor the passing of a friend and Nevi and I decided to explore the land in which this chapel rested (Nevi actually decided for us by not using her 'inside voice' during the service). The picture below was shot as Nevi and I finished the labyrinth that Sunday morning. It was beautiful and serene. (Below, Robb sporting Nevi's sunglasses since she just won't keep them on herself anymore.)We found some more 'touch and feel' books tonight as we reorganized Nevi's bookshelf. To start from the beginning, today we had all new windows installed in our townhome; taking advantage of the energy tax refund. We needed to move Nevi's bookcase since it was right in front of the window so as we were moving it back into place tonight we found more of her favorite type of books. These animal books that have actual feathers, wool and other tactile stimulants are the only books she seems interested in at this point. Tonight as she was helping me to turn the pages, she kept flipping the book over to the back cover, almost as if she was looking for the rest of the animal that was on the page. It was so interesting watching her try to understand the 2 dimensional concept of books. But as soon as she spotted the camera in my hand, over to me she crawled. Taking pictures of her actually doing things of interest might be tough in the coming months as her fascination with the camera trumps most other toys. We shall see.
Oh yeah, and now she can push herself up from crawling to a sitting position all on her own. Go Nevi!!!!
