{p,h,f,r} April is almost over?

This pretty girl with the greenish brown eyes and the little chubby face is keeping us all on our toes. Why, oh why, won't her hair grow? She keeps being mistaken for a little boy. I'm desperate enough to consider a pigtail hat like this one or maybe braids instead. But hats like that are no good when it's 90 degrees outside. Hot pink baseball cap it is, I guess.

My kids were very happy to see the cedar waxwings take a break in one of our tallest trees as they migrated back home. They like to call them Ninja Birds because of their black mask. I was happy to see that they remembered what they were at all. I guess homeschooling nature study really does work.

Cupcake calls this the "Two-Five-Six" because every time she used to stand on our old model,  it would say 25.6. That is, up until the day she stood on it sans diaper, waiting for her bath to warm up, and she tinkled on it. It never said two five six again. This new one is ever so much nicer than the old one (and more waterproof, we hope). But apparently, we need to change it's name to Two-Six-Zero! I refuse to tell you what I call it, but I am happy to report that it's 20 pounds less than what I used to call the old one!

This little one ended up with a bright green mustache and goatee just after this shot was taken, but she sure liked her cupcake. It was one of the only bright spots she's had recently. The antibiotics treating her ear infections are making her tummy and her bum miserable. Not fun!
