bum-bum-bum, here I come

Everywhere. Baby is all over going everywhere now,

and she doesn't care if we're around to help her or not.

I'm loving this practice of independence.

thankful

We are thankful for snotty noses and cutting teeth.

fun times had by all

I have had such a fun weekend!

We pretended like we were from the Farm.

Aunt Sister read lots of stories to me...

and I showed her all my tricks, including my new teeth.

wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home

Yesterday during communion one of the kids in church came up to us and asked us if this was the baby who "squealed like a hog". Yes, it was. Although we prefer to think of her as shrieking like a velociraptor.

(And what baby wardrobe is complete without hand-me-down leopard print?)

do you see what I see?

No, not the butternut squash and corn in her nose...

we see a tooth poking through!

the struggle for technology

There's something magical about the controllers,

and baby really wants them.

We forsee a future where things are put up on the mantle...

far, far away from little hands.
