Poor sick Addie, and poor Mom and Dad. I am glad she is better too. I am looking forward to hearing her in person this weekend (how exciting is that!). I have played the video as quietly as I could but I do hear echoing ba-ba-ba from tech support around me. Fortunately they are all parents!

Great show - and that's when she's convalescent!

Isn't the tongue wonderful! It is as though she is literally tasting the world, as she explores it by sight and touch and mind.
