End of Summer Fun

Hi all!
We're well into the swing of things with the new school year now! Alison came down with Roseola this past weekend, so she had a couple days of fever followed by a couple days of rashes. Poor girl...but she's on the mend and sleeping a lot today so we actually have time to blog.

Still no walking or unsupported standing, but she can crawl all the way up our staircase now! We'll try to get a picture or video of that soon.

Here are some pictures from the end of August.

We'll start with the Chronology of a Meal:


My last piece of egg...

Say, what's this on my hands?

Maybe I should rub it in my hair! What do you think, Dad?
(Note: Dad HATES this!)

Dad...don't give me that look.

Here, have the rest of my grapes.

I'll just take one last drink to wash it all down...

And how about one more head rub for good luck?
(Dad: Noooooo!)

All done! What's next?


Alison and her buddy Katie have been hanging out a lot and playing really well together. Here they are sharing a grape snack (yes that's major drool on Alison's shirt--her molars are coming in):


Katie and her parents invited us to their house on the Cape and we all had a blast!

These cool cranberry bogs go for miles right in back of their house

Enjoying Katie's toys

Making the fish face she loves

Pointing to the doll's nose and saying "nooo..."

When she's a little older, Dan can use our technique: "Uh-oh, if you put your peanut-butter-and-jelly hands in your hair, that means we have to wash your hair tonight!" Since our munchkin would rather do anything than have her hair washed, it can be a pretty effective strategy. ;)

oh dad, it's a well-known beauty queen ritual to rub food into the hair to make it shiny; likewise, the fish face is for working the facial muscles to maximize the high cheek bone look :) - just you wait, she's going to be the prettiest girl on the wnba/ tennis circuit...
