Our Euro Star

E did great on our commute from Paris to London via the Eurostar.  We went under the English Channel so quickly you wouldn't believe it!!  Eowyn thought it was night, so she wanted her pillow and blankie and a movie.  She was very cute, as you can see. :)

Killing Time in the Train Station

Ways to pass time while waiting for trains:  helping Daddy push the stroller, playing with baby, and hunting through Daddy's pockets!

My Sunday Best

My Aunt Courtney & Cousin Kelly had matching dresses that I get to wear now!  Everyone says I look very pretty in pink!

Sprayground!

Mommy (and Daddy some evenings) takes me to get wet lots!  I love splashing, and I'm trying to jump.  I don't mind getting sprayed in the face, and I'm a trooper if I fall down.  My favorite is when Mommy holds me and runs with me through the sprinklers!

New Bike!

Mommy got her anniversary present early, and I LOVE it!  It's a bike, with a seat up front for me!  I helped pick out the bell (it's a flower for 4 years of marriage), and I love to ride it.  The first time we went riding I cried when we got home.  I love riding and ask to go "on bike" every day.  I talk about my purple helmet a lot.

You Comin?

I beckon to folks very appealingly these days, cocking my head and inviting "You comin'?" while putting my little hand toward them.  When that fails, I'm not above coming up, grabbing a hand or a shirt or a leg and pulling towards where I want my people to go.   I get very excited when told we are going somewhere (like the zoo!), and I immediately start asking who else will be going.  I'm fine so long as Mommy says she is "comin!"

The One Where Eowyn Can't Sing Anything

At least she's a very cute stinker...

Jesus Loves Me, This I Nope

A semi-cooperative Eowyn filling in the words of "Jesus Loves Me."

Bye, Star

I will keep trying to get Eowyn's absolutely adorable singing on "film."  She sings "Jesus Loves Me," "Twinkle Twinkle," "AbCd" and "The Letter Sounds."  She also fills in missing words in "There Were Ninety-and-Nine" (her favorite song) and "Cristo Me Ama, Yo Lo Se."

If you can't hear in the video, she sings "Tinkle, tinkle, ittle staw, how you are, tinkle, tinkle...bye, star. All done."

Pig-Tail!

This is my favorite new hair style, and I ask Mommy for it almost every day.  I insist upon a bow or a hat as well.  My shoes remain a favorite pastime, and I enjoy trying each pair on in succession, often declaring "too big," "too tight," and "ahh, pretty!"

Car Poses

In the summer I spend a lot of time in the carseat, it seems. I nap pretty well as long as I have my Bobo or a sweater of Mommy's to cover up with.  I even get to wear headphones like Daddy sometimes while I'm watching my "bean" or "show" (Eowynese for movies).
