Thanksgiving wrap-up

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday even in the middle of all that teething. Thursday morning we stopped by Brent and Lisa's to see the cousins before heading down to Bayview. Next was a stop off in Bayview to visit the Grandparents Schumacher, John and Krisiti and family. Got to visit with Freda sra. and Tom and Bobby over dinner. Then off to the Speedy gathering to catch up with Grandma Leslie/Tim, Great Grandma Sharon and Katie as well as meeting Uncle Martin and Uncle Eric and thier families. Being the center of attention is hard work as Freda was pretty worn out and insisted on going home. So we rallied back to Bellingham to reflect on our productive yet tiring holiday with our families and doggies and ticky-tickies(cats). Thanks everyone and Happy Thanksgiving.

3 new teeth this week on top. She is so not happy about it. Even though she she is dancing up a storm. Lotsa ice cubes and frozen mangoes in the baby strainer. Last night she perfected the art of standing up with the help of large stationary object. She says "Hi", 'woofs' when you ask her what the doggies say, and a ton of "whoah" and "ooooooo's". And 'tikol' what ever that is (which also has accompanying dance move).

teeth cometh

Tooth #3 cut through today and it looks like #4 and #5 are going to follow in the next few days. All of the teeth are on the top, although 2 of the 3 new ones are not her front teeth. She has been quite a pill, but is still very cute.

OMG she started 'dancing'!

I was reading Hands Hands Fingers Thumbs last night to Freda and she started bobbing her head. So I tried humming and singing some songs to her. What do you know, she dances now. She bobs her head and upper body and flails her arms! We noticed her doing this last week but did not make the connection to rhythm.

Mad Baby

Freda does not like her nose wiped. I try to console her and fail, for she is also too tired.

Halloween!

We had a great time handing out candy at Studio Galactica on Halloween. We made the rounds downtown, visiting with all the regulars like the Grandmuzzy and the record store kids (Jeff Mitchell had the day off). Freda was a punkin.

oh yeah Freda was a dragon this week too.

Interesting note: We have decided that this will be her Christmas outfit as well. I mean damn, a Christmas dragon? C'mon!
