A fine stallion

Here's my baby, reading. She's really starting to get use out of the swing Thad's Uncle Max gave her when she was born. Well, to be fair, we did use it a fair amount as an infant seat (it's all convertible), but she never got super into it as a swing, and the swing bit has long been retired into the basement.

We left the chair (as a rocker) up in the living room, though, and in the last week it's become a favorite spot. Check out her reading her book upside down there!

Anyway, we went around walking today. We got Thad a shirt for his Wash costume, and got some comics.

Here's Ari again, sitting in her chair like a big girl! She's also playing with her elephant (that Grandpa Marcus gave her), finally fixed at last. Thad got tired of it sitting on my mending pile and just did it himself.

Ari was really sweet today; she liked going for a long walk with us, and she went to bed relatively easily. She had couscous and peas for dinner- yum! We did not give her the chicken we also had. She is becoming such an incorrigible beggar. At some point, she's going to have to learn manners...

People came over tonight, and we played Changeling. It was pretty fun, if a bit chaotic. We played in the living room, which (while more spacious) was also kind of hot and busy. Ari crawled all around and played with everybody- which she loved. She really likes it when people are down playing with her.

D*Con countdown: 2 weeks. Costumes to go: a bunch!
