first jacket

It was chilly enough today to wear a jacket. Here is a picture of how cute she looked.

painting

Today we painted outside on a big piece of cardboard (from new screen door we bought). Attached are some pictures. She began with one finger carefully touching it and then got it all over her body.

new teeth & things

Senorita is getting new teeth on the bottom, one on each side of the middle ones already up. Soon she'll have four on top & four on the bottom.

Tonight she actually sat down in the bathtub and played. Up until now I've just run the water and she played with it coming out of the spout while standing up. She never wanted to sit down.

She's still waking up twice (at least) a night but she did sleep from midnight until 5am when we were in TX, after that beach experience of the previous post.

She is noticing airplanes in the sky more often now. She makes woof sounds when she hears a dog bark and wack wack for ducks. She kind of says "gaga" for Brother's name.

And praise God for his protection yesterday when the bookshelf in the garage fell without warning. She'd just been standing there, near enough to have been hurt, but had just walked a bit to the other side. I can't thank God enough for that protection.

texas

Last weekend we went down to visit my sister in Texas and Baba and I drove down to Mexico for the day, 3 hours hours away from Corpus Christi. Senorita and Brother stayed with Muggy & Paw Paw with Nanny & her kids and they went to the beach for a while. Apparently T LOVED the waves and ran right into the water, getting knocked down countless times and getting up and going back for more.

yay!

2 nights in a row she slept for longer hours. She's been waking up 3 and 4 times a night since we got back from Jordan. Last night I was still up around midnight after having watched the Saints lose to Minnesota 30-27 (how frustrating) and she'd been sleeping since 8:15ish and then woke up just after midnight and not again until 5:30am. The night before she slept from 8:15ish until 3AM so I slept from 11 to 3 uninterrupted. Last night I slept from about 1am until 5:30 so two nights in a row I got a good chunk of sleep which I haven't had in months.

egg noodles in october

She likes to go to the food locker and "unh unh" for a pretzel or just to grab something to play with, usually the pasta which is kept on the bottom shelf. Since the door was open today she helped herself to the egg noodles that was clipped with a clothespin kind of clip. I knew she had the noodles and walked out of the kitchen and promptly heard the sound of spillage. She'd unhooked the bag and had egg noodles all over the floor by & in the cabinet in which she was sitting. Luckily I was able to grab the camera.

Yesterday she entertained herself sitting in the green laundry basket with a little puzzle car track for about 10 minutes. I snapped that picture as well as T wearing the headcover I got in Jordan (I only wear part of it to keep my hair back, but the other ladies there wear a second piece over it to cover their neck as well).
