Penguon

BC just found my little penguin figurine from the Wallace and Gromit movie The Wrong Trousers. She's ecstatic. She's introduced herself to the penguin and continued with a menu of her dinner. "I'm [BC], Penguon [which is how she pronounces penguin]. I had mac 'n' cheese Penguon. I had yogurt Penguon. I had boccy [broccoli], Penguon."

Frustrations

BC wakes up at 6:00 this morning. That is just too early, I'm sorry. So I explained to her that I would change her pants and then she would have to go back to bed. She scrunched up her face and announced, "I frustrated wif you, mommy." Yes. I made her say it twice just to be certain that's what she really said. What will she be like at 14?

I'm here!

Ahh, the amusement levels of a 20-month-old. I *think* this is it the 896th time she's run into the room I'm in gleefully repeating, "I'm here mommy! I'm here mommy! Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy! Hi Mommy!"

Halloween fun

Pumpkin carving!!

Eewwwwww . . . guts . . . .

What's in there, Daddy?

Ok. I didn't really want to see that. No one should see that.

Daddy and the punkins!

Hello?

Hello-ooo!

Good times!

Name

Coolest moment this week:
"Ellie, what's your name?"
"Ehwie."
*melt*

Growing fast!

BC is a healthy, happy little 15-month old! 31 1/4 inches (over 2 inches in 3 months -- yikes!) and 22 lb, 10 oz. Loving her progress, but can't help missing the tiny little peanut of a year ago.

Stepping stones!

BC's first steps today! (The first we've seen as her parents, anyway . . .)
