"Little Terror"

How accurate is that?

Plump cheeks

People always want to squeeze them!

Weight Watchers

According to my teacher, I put my hands on my hips, checked my arms out, and announced, "I think I'm losing some weight!"

Daredevil

Yesterday I took a flying leap off the bed, gave Mommy an impish grin, and announced, "I'm going to give you white hair!"

Mommy's driving

Lately, I've been making certain, ahem, astute observations about Mommy's driving:

1) "Mommy, your driving is so bad. I think you need driving lessons!"

2) When Daddy parked crooked in a tight spot, I asked him, "Daddy, why you park like Mommy?"

Sitting up

Baby Brother is getting good at balancing, but he's liable to face-plant at any second, so better watch out!

Raspberry season

Richard retrospective

Here I am with Daddy in August 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. Unlike Daddy, who is looking more haggard with the years, I am getting cuter and cuter, dontcha think?

Evil laugh

Spinning top

Signs I've been reading too many books inspired by Christian Vegetables

The following conversation took place yesterday at Albertson's:

Me: Mommy, did you see those peanuts over there?

Mommy: Um, no, honey, I didn't. (backtracks about three aisles and finally spots a bag of peanuts left on an endcap). Oh, there they are! Mommy didn't see them because she has such bad eyes. You are lucky to have such good eyes.

Me: (smugly) That's how God made me!

Tummy time

Double chin

Drumstix: R vs. H

Whose are cuter?

Rocket Man

Here is the spiffy new rocket Daddy and I built. We flew it last weekend with great success and panache.

Food critic

Here is Baby Brother, eagerly awaiting his next meal. He has been devouring pears, bananas, and sweet potatoes so far this week. And, unlike me at this age, he doesn't need a fruit puff on top as an enticement!

Stop in the Name of Fuss

Swing antics

Duh, Daddy!

Yesterday, we all went to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. One of the cool things they have there is a submarine, which Daddy and I got to tour. While we were in the submarine, I noticed something strange.

Me: Daddy, what's that?

Daddy: That's an "escape hatch." It helps people get out if the ship sinks.

Me: But this ship is supposed to sink--it's a submarine!
