Posing

Here are a few photos of Elizabeth that seem to show she like to pose. And yes, she poses like a girl. Cutie pie.

Pumpkin Patch Time

Last week Elizabeth and I headed over to Tanaka Farms pumpkin patch. It was a Monday afternoon and we had the place to ourselves. One of those unplanned spontaneous little events that turned out to be so special.

She loved loved loved the pumpkins. But that is nothing new. She loves Halloween and especially pumpkins. We currently have about 9 of them in front of our house and I suspect that by Halloween we will be looking at dozens. Now, if only I could deal with making pumpkin pie from scratch.

Gma and E

Here is Elizabeth with her grandma spending some time at Fashion Island. As you can see they are part of the mutual admiration society.
Last week Grandma gave Elizabeth a nice coloring book with very elaborate drawings of birds. She loves it and is fascinated with coloring the birds.

Now, if only that could do something to alleviate her EXTREME fear of birds. She is getting to the point where she has to make sure that if we are going somewhere outdoors she has be be certain there will be NO BIRDS in the vicinity. Last week we went to the beach and she was flipping out because of the seagulls. And I mean flipping out.

I was hoping to get her through her childhood without a visit to the shrink, so let's hope this phobia resolves itself!
