For some reason this year she’s become really enthusiastic about Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. She can watch the ballet performance over and over and over (we skip the rats, obviously).

Geneva turns 2!

I found this little blurp on my favorite mommy blog and thought it was too funny and had to share:
A baby monitor for your iPhone? Sure!
