    Uma in action. What the action is exactly, I can't rightly say, but there's action of some sort to be sure.
  • Friday, September 29, 2006

    Uma doesn't like playing dress-up as much as we do.

  • Being an Indian baby with a nearby Aaji means playing dress up a lot.
  • Thursday, September 28, 2006

    Yes, that's quite the fine tower. I just have one little question... when do I get to play with my blocks?

  • Uma does not find the box as entertaining as we do.
  • Wednesday, September 27, 2006

    Oh woe is Uma!

  • Like any expert climber, Uma plans her descent well in advance.
  • Tuesday, September 26, 2006

    Uma makes a new friend (by putting rocks in its eyes). Would you like to be Uma's friend, too?

  • Uma goes on stick patrol.
  • Monday, September 25, 2006

    Blueberries, huh? I don't think blue food is natural, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. This time.

  • Part of every evening is spent racing around like a crazy wild girl.
  • Sunday, September 24, 2006

    Uma really enjoys shopping. Can't you tell?

  • Thursday, September 21, 2006

    Whoa. That's a big ball. Mine! Mine! I called it!

  • Waiter! What is this you're trying to feed me?
  • Wednesday, September 20, 2006

    Where's Uma?


    Peek-a-boo!
  • Tuesday, September 19, 2006

    You can get better things than shoes at the shoe store.

  • Uma's semi sweet + Amu's semi sweet = one whole sweetness.

    furry
    When Uma finds clumps of fur on the floor, she'll point at them and say "yuh yuh" (yucky). She'll either pick it up and bring it to one of us, or she'll just keep pointing at it saying "yuh yuh" until one of us picks it up. Well, this morning, things got more serious as she discovered that our dog Molly is covered with fur. She pointed all over Molly: "yuh yuh, yuh yuh, yuh yuh, yuh yuh, yuh yuh." There wasn't much we could (humanely) do.

    Please add this one to my collection.


    Uma is lost in memories of her first stick.


    Wow, I can't believe Daddy's giving me the chance to drive for free! And he's gonna let me paint the fence later, too!


    Wait a minute, this isn't fun at all! Daddy's just too cheap to pay for gas!

    After thoughtful deliberation, this one gets the Uma Puma Seal of Approval.

    Proper dental hygiene requires both brushing and combing teeth.

  • Uma's none too happy about being ejected from her bath, but she'll let the insult slide. This time.

    Uma demonstrates the pincher technique necessary for comestible liberation.

    a sensitive child
    Uma doesn't like books that say "goodbye." She has one book where a group of fish get together, and then, one by one, the group leaves each fish behind. By the end, she's in tears. We don't read her that book anymore.

    We tried a book about a Little and Big Nut Brown Hares frolicking before bed, but again, the ending with Little Nut Brown Hare going to sleep was just too sad for her.

    We moved on to a book about a mischievous cat, which ends with saying "goodnight" to the cat. The last couple nights, right as we reached the end, her little bottom lip stuck out and her face collapsed with an anguished "buh buh." We're going to stop reading that one, too. Oddly enough, she has no problem with "Goodnight Moon," which is full of "goodnights," nor does she have a problem saying goodnight to all the things in her room, and she's still been an absolute angel about going to bed. I don't claim to understand Uma.

  • a day in the pool

    Uma rediscovers her pool.


    Splashing is thirsty work; good thing there's water handy.


    Done for the day.
  • Thursday, September 07, 2006

    Uma might enjoy the swing if it didn't have to compete with the pool.

  • Strike a pose, there's nothing to it.
