First Painting
I saved the wall. She did take a taste of the paint when I turned my back for a few seconds.

Swedish Christmas Crown
There are paper candles (and leaves) glued on the sides. They are a bit hard to see.

Fall Hat
Unfortunately this adorable hat is a bit small. It will be in the mail to cousin Owen as soon as I get my act together.

Day with Juliet
Cousin Juliet came for the day. 
Abby "reading" to Juliet while Lily is being put down for a nap. 
Abby got itchy just before I got the camera to take sandbox pic. 
In the playroom. 
They were so well behaved that I fell asleep on the floor for a few minutes. (Abby took that opportunity to draw a "tattoo" on Juliet's arm.)

Backlog (part 2)
Abby really likes to read stories to Lily. Lily is somewhat obsessed with books, so that works out well.
Backlog (part 1)
We went on a trip to Portland, OR in August to see Uncle Paul, Aunt Lara and Baby Owen. The girls are seasoned air travelers, but this time, Abby found that each seat has its own paper bag puppet. Very exctiting!
Here are both girls loving the swingset near Baby Owen's House. Papa is a good pusher.

First Haircut
When I took Abby to get her haircut before the first day of school, I decided it was time to get Lily her first cut. 
Lily was a perfect angel during the haircut, partly because she had just watched Abby safely live through the experience and, mostly, because she spent the entire time trying to open a lollipop wrapper with her teeth. She was very happy when she finally succeeded. I'm pretty sure this was her first piece of hard candy.

ROOOOWWWWRRRR!
We went to a community soccer camp each night last week and Abby got her face painted like a tiger, which lasted 30 seconds on her face before she wanted it removed. I think the paint was itchy. At least we got this picture before it disappeared.

It's no fair being the youngest
Abby is allowed on Grandma and Grampa's porch while Grampa is cooking on the grill; Lily is not. 
(It looks like Abby is being meaner than she really is. She's just trying to make Lily laugh.)

Playground
We are lucky to live in a town with great playgrounds. This one is just around the corner.

Lily's Words
Lily has quite a few words, but most of her words have to be interpreted by mom and dad.
Off the top of my head: Mama, dada or dadee, nana, papa, ball, buckle*, shoe, thank you, baby, ba-bye, uh oh, oo-oo-oo-ah-ah-ah (monkey) and Elmo.
Occasionally: Abby, grandma, grampa, dog
"Ka" seems to be any of the following: book, cup, milk, duck
*Buckle or "Uckle" was one of her first words. She is currently obsessed with learning how to put together a buckle and she also hears the word every time we put the girls in the car: "Abby, do your buckle please."
