A Snow Owl


Todd took so many good photos of Lena in her Halloween costume, it was hard to narrow it down to just these few. We spent Halloween in Houston at Todd's sister's with his family. Lena showed off her flapping skills and sat patiently on the sofa while we took her picture. She was surprisingly cooperative about the costume and wore it for almost 2 hours, which is a long time for a 7 month old. Since it was pretty warm out, I skipped the white tights I had brought along, so enjoy the extra chubby legs.


My favorite photo!

November Already!

We returned from our trip to Galveston and Houston last week. I have soooo many photos to sort through including shots of Lena at the beach, in her Halloween costume, and with the grandparents. Meanwhile, here's what's going on with Lena.

I think she might have a cold. She started coughing yesterday morning. At first she would cough, then smile, cough, then giggle. I think it was tickling her and felt funny. She hasn't run a fever and has no diarrhea, just a cough. Today she has slept a lot and is still coughing, but that's it.

I felt the first pointy spikes of a lower tooth today. I can just barely see it, but it's on its way!

Lena is crawling faster and farther now. If you leave the room she is right behind you, usually crying while crawling because she can't figure out why you left!

We're still working on solids, but we've had some success with banana and today she ate part of a piece of bread. Hooray!
