Alice's Wonderland: Alice's Wonderland is MOVING!

Alice's Wonderland is MOVING!

Oh, the symbolism... Alice and Lizzie's lives are so very intertwined that separating events into "Lizzie's" and "Alice's" for blog posts has become downright intractable. (Lately we've solved the problem by posting to NEITHER blog, but surely that's not optimal...) So we're creating a new blog, "FurstenGirls" (get it? Furstenberg Girls? So clever... right? right?? hmf. Anyway....) You'll find the new combined adventures of Lizzie and Alice posted there now, though we'll maintain permanent links to both of the now archival "Alice's Wonderland" and "Lizzie Kat News". We'll continue to post to Picasa, and we've posted a new feature on the new blog, which (apparently) will allow you to get email feeds of blog posts. (So you can be SURE how little we're posting.) Enjoy! Here is the new blog: furstengirls.blogspot.com

Words at 15 months: Bunny (Alice's beloved); Daddy; Puzzle; Book (more clearly); Yay! (with the most delightful lilt!); Yeah!; Cat. Very clear babbling and intonation -- it's amazing how clear it is what Alice wants... Few words but amazing communication.
