I can do it myself...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 24 November 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Now that she is tall enough to reach the counter, she loves helping.

This is Fiona's birthday week, so this begins a series of our youngest granddaughter as she's about to turn six!

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Adorable helper. When they are determined as she appears to be they are the best helpers.
Happy Birthday Fiona! Just what we hoped for... more cake! Sure is a sweet week.

@Barbara: At this point they're waiting for turkey with Nana & Grandpa ... hope I'm not too busy for photos! ;D

Betty from New Jersey, United States

Your granddaughter is beautiful. Happy Birthday, Fiona! Six was my favorite age for my granddaughter, Sammi! I told her to stay six, but she couldn't! :-)

@Betty: I'm smiling and can relate to wanting them to "stay six." You'll see more of her during the week. ;D

Wow, and she'll learn and she'll cook wonderfully for those she loves, and she'll always be Grandma's girl...such a heartwarming shot, I can't wait to see your Christmas photos ;)
Happy Birthday sweet Fiona x

@Lorraine: I don't know if she's nearly as much Nana's girl as she is Grandpa's, but she's a sweetheart! I also don't know if she'll ever be as interested in having herself be photographed as she was; I see it changing. ;D

@Magda: We love having the children one at a time to get to know of their interactions directly with us.
These photos of Fiona this week were taken during a delightful overnight 'sleepover'. ;D

Chris from South Jersey, United States

it is fun when they get a bit independent - but then they get REALLY independent.....

@Chris: Oh, Chris, you said it just right ....... "then they get REALLY independent..."

Russ Devan from New Hanover, United States

She's certainly a cutie! I bet she loves to help Grandma.
