Little Pumpkin

The lighting is terrible in this first one so I'll try to get another of her in her "little pumpkin" onesie before the day is over. The rest were taken earlier this week. The sequence in the chair would be best on video--every day I say I'm going to take the point and shoot with me when I go to the bathroom so I can get video of her staring intently (and often with cross eyes) at the thumb part of her closed fist as if willing it to unclose so she can pop it in her mouth and suck on it, but every day I forget. (For those of you who don't know, that's her bathroom chair. It sits there so I can plop her down when I shower or pee. It's also her favorite chair in the house.)

The last one is her right now, as I type this. We went down to Mill Valley Market to order our turkey and pick up some eggs. It was a usual trip: the way there and the first part of the way back is spent screaming, then shortly into the way back trip, she passed out. I tried keeping her awake so she wouldn't screw up her next nap, but she completely ignored me. Normally she won't stay asleep in this car seat if the car or stroller isn't moving, but Eric said she stayed asleep for him for an hour last Friday so rather than wake her up to put her in her crib (which would only result in screaming and a definite skipped nap), I decided to leave her in there and see if she'd stay asleep. So far, so good! Since Eric is at the gym and I've finished my hours for work this week, I'm enjoying some quiet Terri time!
