Baller

I should probably start by admitting that I’m so tragically unhip, I’m not entirely sure what a “baller” is.

I think it’s just someone who plays ball (like basketball, maybe?), but all Merriam-Webster.com would tell me is that it could also be a melon baller, which is certainly not the direction I was going with this post. 

But I was struggling for a title other than the gimmee “Let’s play ball.”  I figured that since a good number of my 5 readers are related to me and older than I am, we can all pretend it’s a hip and appropriate title.

Shazam!

So on October 7th, I realized that Lily was ready to “play ball.”  She would throw it back and forth, and it was just the cutest thing ever*. 

          *That day.

I was home by myself and set up the camera on the mini tripod so I could capture Lily’s new skill.

Well, you can take videography off of my list of talents.

But it’s still a cute video of MOST of Lily playing ball and repeatedly toppling over in excitement, and a less cute video of me saying “oh, yay!” over and over again.

You’ll just have to imagine this face on top of the headless, ball-playing wonder.

While we’re on the subject of bouncy balls, did you know they are also incredibly funny?
