Mommy's little helper

Edie does not love to run errands, but she does love to inspect the items I buy. Here's Ms. E being a ham on the way home from the grocery store yesterday.

Please enjoy this rare and cute instance of the dogs earning their keep.

Accessorizing

Edie doesn't usually tolerate any fancy adornments, but lately she loves to stick stuff on her head. She doesn't keep it on, but today she loved mom's headband enough for a photoshoot.

Bobby car!!

Bobby cars are a right of passage for Munchner munchkins. Most get one on their first birthday. Edie doesn't have her own - yet. After this trial run, her Dad might just break down!

E learns to use a fork!

Taste of Spring

Due to some glorious weather anomaly, thanks to our proximity to the Italian Alps apparently, we've had a week of temps in the high 40s to low 50s. For February in Bavaria, that's practically tropical. To celebrate, Edie and I took to the cement porch for a few minutes today to test out some street chalk a friend gave her as a birthday gift.

Birthday Dinner

Will's back from his business trip, so we re-started Edie's birthday where we left off the weekend before. Dinner at a new restaurant downtown, homemade birthday hat and finally a candle!

Magical birthday card

Edie has gotten a handful of birthday cards. Her love of books extends to the bright birthday cards she's gotten from Great Grandma Grissom and Great Grandma Simmons. Her most recent addition is a music-playing card from G'ma and G'pa Grissom. Edie figured it out in no time, and now I've got Whistle While You Work in my head for some time to come! Thanks for all of your loving birthday wishes!

Tunnel Time!

Edie got some birthday dough from Grandma and Grandpa Grissom, so we went shopping for some big girl toys this week. One of the coolest things we got is this tunnel, which she just loves. You'll see she brought her stuffed dog along for the ride - she saw him and said WOOF for the first time, so we just had to buy it :)
