Odds and Ends of September

Jake caught on camera a particularly accessorized right foot belonging to...

 the little lady in the sunglasses.

Don't underestimate this girl. She may have just mastered running in a straight line in August, but the girl can probably run faster in my heels than I can. Also do not be fooled by the big girl panties. She remains un-pottytrained as of now.

In looking over September's pictures, I was struck by how many pics I have of Jake with the girls. This is significant because he continues to be up to his neck writing, working til all hours on his dissertation. But he has done a magnificent job of still being a present and involved daddy.

Often the treat for finishing your dinner is getting to go climb up on Daddy. This is a pretty common sight.

A lip balm eater raided my bathroom. Can you see the teethmarks? This is pretty disgusting to me, texturally speaking. I can't imagine intentionally eating lip balm. Apparently between Joy and I, that makes one of us.

Abby Jane and I discovered that Joy is old enough to learn how to play Crazy 8's. That was pretty amazing to me. I think kids are underestimated all the time. (Don't you wear fancy silk dresses when you play Crazy 8's?)
