Alice Rebecca Lafler-Austern was born on December 18, 2005. She's three! Well, three and a half, actually. I'm just months behind on posting photos.
Alice is an active and verbal little girl. She loves books, natural history, climbing, getting wet, and typical toddler foods such as raw onion, broccoli, pâté, and edamame. Alice is now going to Google preschool and comes home with all sorts of lurid gossip about her classmates. Recent accomplishments include correcting her parents, petting the cats “gently,” sleeping in her own bed (for a few hours), and learning to whisper. She continues her long-standing fascination with fluid dynamics and conducts experiments whenever the opportunity arises. The doctor was unable to find any butterflies in her ears.
Some of Alice's recent linguistic developments and witticisms are chronicled here.
