Technical difficulties

Mommy's laptop finally crashed and died, so I can't post any pictures for a while. So you'll have to make do with the archives for now, until Santa delivers Mommy a shiny new computer. Sorry, folks!

And the winner is...

Whenever I take a nap, Mommy and Daddy reward me by taking me to my favorite restaurant. The last time this happened, I entered into a drawing to win a free bike. Lo and behold, I won! So Santa, ixnay on the ikebay this Christmas, okay?

Smiley face

Check out the new tooth!

Hanging out with Henry

As you can see, Henry and I have some good times together. Maybe this baby brother thing isn't so bad after all...

Mad Hatter

Mommy loves to put silly hats on us no matter what the occasion. Luckily, since my head is now so big that my hats simply don't fit anymore, Baby Bro bears the brunt of this practice.

Ancient history

Last night at dinner, the following random conversation took place:

Me: I'm thinking about something that's kind of old.

Mommy: What's that, sweetheart?

Me: Grandpa Dave!

Mad libs

Today while Daddy drove me home from school, I overheard him talking on the phone. He said, "It'll be just the four of us." And I chimed in: "And maybe someday a baby sister!"

R vs. H: Fall look edition

Here I am looking adorable in my favorite fall outfit circa 2005. Note the toothy grin!

Now, here's Baby Bro in the same outfit, sans the sweater. (See how he's keeping his mouth shut to hide the fact that only one of his teeth has come in?)

Of course, these pictures beg the question: Who has plumper cheeks?

Showing off

Yesterday I impressed my teacher by counting from 1 to 100 without a hitch. Later, I astounded Mommy by displaying my knowledge of "3-D shapes," including cylinders and my personal fave, the "triangular prism." Think I'm ready to try solving some differential equations?

Shear fussiness: before and after

Mommy finally got around to clipping Henry's long baby locks. She opted for the standard buzz she's been giving me and Daddy all these years--really, Mommy, haven't you learned anything from watching all those episodes of Shear Genius? At least we now all have matching haircuts!

Halloween 2008 vs. 2005

Who do you think looks more devilish?
