Here's some recent pics. I will number them in order from one to crazy.
1. This girl is killing me. She climbs on EVERY.THING. She's an expert at the dining room table and bathroom counters now. My house has never had less clutter, because everything that isn't a toy is now in locked drawers. Including the markers she's eating in this picture.
2. Daddy's been working like a fiend lately. Sometimes the only way we see him is to meet for dinner. Here was last week at Apple...the kids obviously needed their climb-all-over-Daddy time.
3. Her hair is getting much longer...and tangled! When I have to brush her fine curls out on a daily basis, eek. I can barely brush my own hair. The prognosis for cute ponytails is fading fast.
4. A rare moment captured on camera: both wild animals relaxing in their natural habitat...together...quietly.
5. Karate Kid is doing great. We have now moved to putting a (very appetizing-looking) mix of Vitamin E oil, Mederma, and SPF70 on his scar daily. It's really helping I think, even if he does look ridiculous. He really doesn't mind or complain though, so that's more than we could really ask for.
6. Back to the climbing thing: the reason I had to move everything within reach was because Caroline stuck her stubby little strong baby fingers all in my (very expensive and very smelly) centerpiece candle- and then rubbed it all over the table, herself, the fridge, the floor...ugh. I mean, at least she smelled good for like a week, but still. She was covered in wax.
7. She waltzed into the kitchen to "help" me cook looking like this. High heels and all. Who does she think she is, Giada DeLaurentiis???
8. She fell down. She does this a lot. Jack was not sympathetic. Apparently I wasn't either, since I took a picture. ;) She's also turned into quite the drama queen, as this picture proves. She will scream bloody murder over anything, especially when she's tired. My even-keel little girl has an evil side.
9. Eating more organic and all-natural snacks.
10. She LOVES to have her toenails painted. I had to buy the super quick dry polish and I have to do it while she's sitting in her high chair, but once it's done, she randomly looks at her feet and giggles all the time. ❤
11. Disdainfully disapproving of our Labor Day weekend trip to IKEA. Yea, it actually was a bad idea. She was right.
12. Tonight walking back from my run, I noticed that the sunset was glowing pink off the mountains you can see from our road. It made me stop and stare. It was beautiful.
13. Last Wednesday, Justin's group at work had a summer outing. They took a catamaran out on San Francisco Bay for the afternoon. Free food and drinks flowed. He said it was awesome. Apparently, it was, because his coworker Bob covertly texted me these pictures from the bus ride home ;) Oh yes...that's my little narcoleptic honey!!!

| I love this shot. Justin looks great, of course, but also the two (obviously Apple employees) behind him are not enjoying the view, but answering emails on their phones. |

| That's better :) And that's some classic SF weather right there! |
14. Finally, a quick snapshot of my best buddy. She's awesome. 💅👍👶 I love this kid!
