First Camping Trip

Another first, this time we went camping with Anouk for the first time. We reserved a campsite at Samuel Taylor State Park in the redwoods, and drove up Saturday with Ed and Adriana. We set up camp and got acquainted with the area:

After lunch, we started on our hike to Barnaby Peak, with lovely views on the way.




At the peak, we have lovely views of Tomales Bay, the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding peaks. Anouk is enjoying the view with Adriana.
On the way down, she finally falls asleep:

After a nice hike, Ed starts our camp fire and we make dinner; the heat from the fire is very pleasant as we sit and watch the flames.


Anouk survives the night after swapping sleeping pads, and we go on a small hike the next morning through the Redwoods. Overall, everything worked out great, and we are happy that our little girl is now "camp-proof".

Anouk Crawling

Finally found some time for a short new post after we got back from our trip to Europe. I'll post some pictures later, but since Anouk has started to crawl, I wanted to share that as soon as possible. Here is the video of her crawling guided by our nanny Delia (it is rotated, so please turn your head):




She has also figured out that rotating while sitting on her butt gives her great views (and it looks really funny):
