Of Bubbles & Onions

The weather has been crazy these past days! Tornados, snow, sunshine, and rainstorms, all happening within a week. Brandy always makes fun of the fact that I dress Lia like an onion, but double layered outfits have proven a smart choice recently. While it was freezing cold the first half of the day (Lia had blue lips after getting up, so we all crawled back into bed, under double layers of blankets!!), we enjoyed a fabulous warm afternoon outside, with lots of bubbles that the wind kept carrying away.

And here is a little peeled onion at the mall. Thin as a twig with a belly like that of a professional alcoholic. The last layer of clothing cannot cover Lia's ravenous appetite for onions, even though she tries hard to pose as a ballerina. Onions, no kidding.

Yes, an appetite for real onions, raw if you please. This weekend Lia took a big bite from this onion, bravely chewed on a huge chunk (see the missing piece?), swallowed, and took another bite. I think we will have her taste buds checked during our next visit at the pediatrician.

And before I forget: Lia has become a little talker! She has actually doubled her vocabulary. Apart from 'Mama' and 'Teddy' Lia can now also say 'Ball' and 'Hi!'. Beyond a stinking doubt her next word will be 'onion'.
