I was going through old emails and found this YouTube video that I had sent to myself. I don't remember how I found this particular morph film perhaps my daughter told me about it. Philip Scott Johnson has done others like this as well that you can find at Vimeo.com along with more information about this video.

Gifts For The Grandbaby

Since I have become a "nanny" I have discovered some stuff I like...

1. Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether Sophie is my grandaughter's favorite toy. It's cute, great for teething, easy for little fingers to hold.

2. Plush Troy Golden Retriever 9" This is just the right size for babies and it is washable too. Douglas Cuddle Toys have a large line of cute, well made, stuffed toys.

3. Elizabeth Mitchell's Music This is great music that both you and your baby will enjoy.

4. Graco's Bumper Jumper I was nostalgic about this type of toy because I had one when I was a baby. We enjoy watching our granddaughter play in this as much as she enjoys playing in it!

5. The Original Rubber Duck Toy for the Bath by Rich Frog When my oldest daughter was a baby she had several favorite rubber toys like this one. I still have one and it is marked "Lanco" made in France. I was delighted to find this toy again for my granddaughters. It is great for babies (and dogs!) because it is very soft, easy to hold and it squeaks. It is sold as a bath toy but they like to play with it out of the tub.

5. Frog Ribbit 7 Inch Playground Ball by Crocodile Creek
This is a classic toy and it comes in different colors, designs and sizes. The manufacture suggests for ages one month to 99 years for the 5 inch ball!

Dogblog

Do we understand, as a people, why short-haired breeds just won't ever be completely awesome? When I think about a dog, I picture a couple of shaggy dudes like this who I can run up to and ruffle, some real fuzzy guys who I'll never have to put a sweater on. You know what I'm saying?


I love this guy's blog. He walks around in San Francisco and takes pictures of dogs (usually tied) waiting on their masters. He writes the most hilarious commentary for each dog picture.

Bubbly

I was driving home from a visit with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Atlanta recently and I heard this happy little song by Colbi Caillat. It made me think of my granddaughters. I smile when I see them and they crinkle their noses at me!
