Rain Can't Stop Miss Sunshine

Since she's started walking, Sweet Girl has truly made the house her own. In fact, she's so fearless and far-ranging that Mama has had to break out the baby gates in an attempt to corral the Commando Goblin from setting up ambushes all over the place. Little Monster isn't exactly clear on the game of chase — sometimes she chases, sometimes you chase — but she definitely likes to scour the entire range of the house in her hide-and-seek endeavor.

Little Werewolf scored major loot the other day. First came a visit to the doctor: In addition to being a little bit boogery right now, she is 23.5 pounds and 33 inches. Long and lean, so they say, with a runner's physique (plus a bit of baby belly). After the doctor and a few shots, Mama took Tickle Bug to a consignment sale, where she took home a nifty new rocking chair, a dinosaur playset, and some sweet new kicks. Just about time, too, since the Pedoodles Grandma Raye got for Wee Goblin are almost too small already! What a growing girl.

Today was a little dour. Georgia has been having terrible storms, and Daddy's road to work was delayed because of a mudslide and a collapsed stretch of pavement. He came home early only to find Mama worried that there was an animal upstairs. Daddy didn't find it upstairs, and he thinks its a squirrel, which Miss Fuss would enjoy no end. As it was, her sunny disposition lifted the dreary day, and she spent the evening after dinner reading a magazine and looking for pictures of puppy dogs.
