Let the Holidays Begin

Scout went to the
Jubilee of Trees.

All she saw was
a lot of trees.

This is going to be her second Christmas,
but it's hard to remember last year.
There was a lot going on.


She thinks that Santa guy
is a little questionable.
Come to think of it
he looks a little shifty to me.


Why should she care.
It's not like she needs anything from that guy.

Sick and Tired

Scout has not felt well
for more than a week.

We let her do whatever she wants.
That makes us feel better.
She eats a lot of cookies.

She stands up in the tub.


She skips her chores,
and does pointless things
like stacking rings on a stick.


Have we lost all hope?

Getting Out

Scout has been sick.
We thought
if she got out of the house
she might feel better.



It made us feel better.
As for her,
indifferent at best.


In the beginning
I carried her on my shoulders.


But she got heavy fast.
Why can't she walk?
She only laughs at me.


Mom came to the rescue.
I think they
gang up on me.



Does Scout always have to be right?


How does she control me so?

Company

Scout's brother Adam
and his wife Rachel came to visit.

Grandpa and Grandma came too.
Scout told them that all she needed
was just one pony.

Hyper-scout-ivity

Sometimes

I think

maybe

I'm too old

for this.

Getting Cold?

Scout thinks it is getting cold.

She is used to 100 degree weather.

She has no idea.

Thinking about Halloween

Scout was thinking about what to be for Halloween when she came across a book about bugs.

I said that she should be a stinkbug.
She wanted to be a lady bug

I still think she smells like a stinkbug.

Ten Months

Scout is 10 months old today.
She talks all the time.

She sometimes says Mama.

She sometimes says Dada.

Now she says Obama.
Weird.

Yearbook Photos

Sometimes I get bored. I did late last night and I found yearbookyourself.com
Some of these look pretty good.

Hair Do or Hair Don't?

Scout's hair is finally growing, but just on the top. This really limits her style to just this one look.

I think it works, but that would be a whole other story if she were sixteen.
