The Look

One of Alden's more delightful and consistently gratifying developmental milestones has been the introduction of "the look", a scrunched-up face that she employs of late when she is feeling feisty.

We have been daunted in repeated attempts to capture the look, as the appearance of the camera invariably causes it to evaporate. But our friend Beth, who visited today, caught Alden unawares, producing the above documentation to share with you.

And here is Alden with Beth's dog Spud.

The baby was entirely puzzled by Spud, so dissimilar is he from Iggy, her only frame of reference for dogs. He is about the same size as our cats, but much more amiable. In the end, I think her attempts to understand Spud gave way to her enjoyment of his company.
