Hilloween (Halloween on Capitol Hill)

Mimi's with My Godmama

Home of AJ's new favorite breakfast: pumpkin muffin!

Early Halloween with the Cousins

Home Again, Home Again

We're back safely! Lots of fun photos to come. And more videos, which I've learned are the only thing that the younger generation of blog viewers (age 5 and under) want to see. :-)

Breaking News

Here she is, standing all by herself! We're going to Los Angeles for a few days, so look for lots of photos when we get back next week!

Tunnel Delight

Up, Please!

Dance!

... with the cat litter. :-)

This one is for Aunt Sue and Uncle Charlie!

Fall Picnic

Music on Command

AJ is getting very good at understanding words and responding to them. She'll clap when you ask her to, look for Hannah when you say "cat," and go after the musical toy when she hears the word.

See You Next Week, Playgroup Friend!

Babies Not As Cute As Me...

$3.49 at Ikea

Wedding Daze (and Nights!)

AJ's first wedding! She had a great time while we celebrated Chris and Catherine's wedding in Annapolis. Here she is at the beginning of the evening...


And at the end... The excitement just did her in! No tears, though, just sleep. :-)

Applause, Please...

Baby Fresh

More!

So far, AJ has picked up one piece of baby sign language: the sign for "more". She was doing such great signing tonight that it seemed like a perfect time to catch a video of her. Of course, she immediately wanted the camera more than she wanted her dinner....

Nose Love

Going Green

Ol' Blue Eyes

Gorgeous Day at the Arboretum

Nine Months

She has hit the towering height of 28 inches and is weighing in at 20 pounds 10 oz. Grow, baby, grow!

Change of Address

AJ and I are officially moving -- to the National Arboretum. We went for the first time today and it was amazing. If you're looking for us any nice day this fall, you know where we'll be...

Rain rolled in fast with a cold blast of fall air -- but we'll be back!
