Henna making goofy faces

Lately, Henna's favorite past time is to make goofy faces. When she first did this, I laughed so hard. I had trouble trying to get it in video, for she does so randomly and unexpected.

What were the kids doing on June 9, 2007? They got a kick of throwing their toys at the back of the couch and were checking them out. Henna just turned two years old. Julian will be four in August. They like to play with each other, and at times they are partners in crime. This demonstrates it.

Decorating the Christmas tree! This video is more to show her language comprehension at 17 months.Late 70s rock, disco; 80s New Wave, rock; 90s R & B, in general. Songs give me memories during time in my life when they were popular.
For example:
Blue Bayou (Linda Rondstadt), all Air Supply songs, Off the Wall (Pink Floyd), How Deep is your Love (Bee Gees), Sailing (Christopher Cross), Afternoon Delight, Dust in the Wind reminds me of when I lived in South Carolina or East Coast in general (1970s-1980).
I remember seeing my dad sing, Yellow Submarine (Beatles). He was in the Navy at that time and worked in submarines (I think). 1970s.
True (Spandau Ballet), When Doves Cry (Prince), Careless Whisper (Wham!), Crazy for You (Madonna), Don't Answer Me (Alan Parsons Project), Shout at the Devil (Motley Crue) remind me of living in Hawaii (1980-1985). I was into Menudo! Jelly shoes, Slick Chics, Dove shorts, jelly bracelets (what people are wearing now), feathered hairstyles and fluorescent clothing were the rage. Also Hawaiian music. If you go to school in Hawaii, you learn hula--in all grades. Hula was taught as early as when you can start standing.
Tender Love (Full Force), Somebody, Shake the Disease (Depeche Mode); The Cure, Tears for Fears remind me of 7th and 8th grade in CPMS (1985-1986). Letty and I would buy earrings, swap them out and wear at least 3-6 in one ear lobe. We'd mix and never match.
Wicked Game (Chris Isaac), Losing my Religion (REM) remind me of the San Felipe trip I took with Erika in 1991.
With or Without You (U2) reminds me of my friend Crystal Valdez in my freshman year of HS.
Freestyle songs like Show Me (Cover Girls), Diamond Girl, TKA, remind me of my drill team days in my HS freshman year. Oran Juice Jones. Lowered trucks were the rage. Lots of Depeche Mode and such I'd see Trang and Roselle be all Goth. At that time it was called, "being morbid". 1987.
Where the Streets Have no Name (U2) my sophomore year. This reminds me of Crystal.
Silent Morning (Noel), Want to be the One (Stevie B), Information Society, Camouflage remind me of my junior year.
I Will be Right Here Waiting for You (Richard Marx) reminds me of my senior year.
I Don't Want to Cry and Someday (Mariah Carey), Rush Rush (Paula Abdul) reminds me of my first year in college.
Early and mid 90s hip hop (Womp! There it is, Rump shaker) remind me of the early dating times with Mig driving his mustang. I was never into hip hop, but Mig played these songs in his 80 black Mustang so much it carried the stigma.
Spanish Rock en Espanol (Mana, Cristian) entered my life (mid 90s) and I've been listening to it ever since. Partied at Frog's and Zool (when it first opened. Boy was it so fun at that time! Not even compared to it now) with Erika, Rosemary, Karla, and Target people.
