This morning, we were having Family Breakfast (tm). Uma was playing with Favorite Toy #7 (white plastic measuring cup, 3/4 C) after having finished off her barley cereal, and I was my usual charming and droll self. Mommy laughed. Uma decided that something funny happened. She didn't know exactly what it was, but she didn't want to be left out, so she laughed along. I continued with the witticisms. I laughed. Mommy laughed. Uma laughed. She's a happy girl. That's how she tolerates my one and only trick: when she's on the changing table, I put a (dry) washcloth over her face. She snatches it off, and we smile. It's my only trick. She's on to me now, but she still thinks it's good fun.

Besides barley cereal and washcloth peek-a-boo, Uma's also picked up a new sound: da. Da. Da. Da. Da. She really likes to say it. Every now and then, she sneaks out a mangled "ka" as well. Da. Da. It's a good time.
