Through great cunning and fantastic stalking skills, this photographer was able to obtain this rare glimpse of the Puma at rest.

See that empty bowl? I did that.

Uma has some real qualms about the level of service here.

Mommy and me, we have a good time.

Maybe lying down will help me figure this thing out.

Look there! It's a cat!

"Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon."

Uma reluctantly fetches a book to read.

"I'm not a messy eater, Daddy's a messy feeder."

Oh,
that's where the camera went!

Check out these pearly whites.

I've got a sippy cup.

Puma Power Boost!!!

I have a cup and I'm not afraid to use it.

Why are these hands empty? I demand an explanation. And toys. Lots of toys. Actually, forget the explanation.

Oooooh.... control.

The mini pumpkins are the best part of Halloween.

She likes the climbing, she does.

We managed to catch a shot of the Puma in motion using high-speed photography.

happy holiday
Uma would like to wish all her fans a "Hey Dye-o" (
Happy Diwali).
Labels: words

Uma has learned to climb onto the fireplace, which makes a convenient perch for, um, examining her fingers.

Uma chows down on some birthday cake. Nobody was brave enough to tell her it wasn't
her birthday.

Uma takes a tour of someone else's house.

It's important to make sure the stairs are the right size.

Riding along.

This is another picture of Uma.

Uma goes on safari.

Sit in the box.

Stand in the box.

All work and no play makes Uma a glum girl.

Uma has started earning her keep by helping Mommy with the dishes.

The floor's a nice hangout

Hey....

Excellent. I have Daddy at my mercy. If only I knew what to do with him....

Uma wants you all to know that she chewed that food all by herself, with those very teeth.

I'm going to put duplicates of this picture in a safe deposit box to get out when Uma is a teenager.

18 months
It's been a whole half year since Uma was a whole year old, a whole year since she was a half year old. My, how the time flies.
Labels: words

I found it! It's mine!

The floor is where it all goes down.

Uma has decided that "come to Daddy" means with her eyes clenched shut.

recovery
After a
loooooong weekend, Uma is back to her old self. Monday and Tuesday were pretty unpleasant, but she perked up yesterday, and is up to her old tricks today.
Labels: words

Daddy, I want to take a picture now!

Are we going to have a pick-a-nick?

Sproing! Sproing!

The safety inspector gives our kitchen the all-clear.

How about I have my breakfast down here instead?

day 3
Uma's not feeling any better. She managed to keep some water and two nursings down overnight, but this morning, she couldn't handle some dry toast. She's limp and lethargic, and clearly miserable. Poor Puma.

The Puma, in happier times.

Uma's patent-pending upside-down reverse box entry.

Taking a trip, huh? Not if I have anything to say about it.

poor puma
After suffering through almost two weeks of teething, Uma got hit this weekend with a stomach bug. As these things go, it's minor, but it's still no fun for her. Hopefully, we've reached the worst of it.
Labels: words

This is what Uma thinks of yuckies.

I don't think it's fair for Daddy to use my popularity to promote himself.

Uma's truck says "Vrooom." Uma's truck's driver says, "Aaaah! I've been attacked by a giant little girl!"

Ok, Daddy, I'll sumo wrestle your foot. I won't be happy about it, though.

Yay, here comes food!

That's odd; somebody left a perfectly good Daddy just lying on the sidewalk.

Walking helps Uma think.

Heyo.

The mall
again? Man....

Ooooh. Dirty department store floor.

What does it take to get some service around here?

Uma is alert for anyone trying to sneak up on her upside-down.

The child, she likes the shoe box.
-
Monday, October 02, 2006

Sitting is still novel for Uma, especially when the chair is just her size (ish).

Uma likes looking at baby pictures, perhaps some more than others.

The fashion parade extends to fancy footwear.
