We found a photographer that had pretty cheap prices for bluebonnet pictures so we decided to sign up.  It never occurred to us that professional photographing of the Squeaker would be so hard.  For one, she hates cameras.  Two, she had never sat in grass before.  Three, is was overcast and wet so the grass was particularly gross feeling.  All in all, the photog took 104 pics and she only smiled in 2 and that was when I picked her up so you can barely see bluebonnets.  Oh squeaks.

Later on in the day we were sitting at the dinner table and I threw a cloth napkin on O’s head.  It eventually escalated to the following pics that you see.  Of course still including the napkin. (4.11.10)

We’ve been pretty absent from blogging on this site.  But today my mom took a picture that has inspired me to start keeping this more up to date.

Olivia (the Squeaker) is a little over 7 1/2 months and, man, is she getting feisty.  Her newest tricks are to spit and scream.  The spitting was funny at first especially when you ask her for a besito (kiss) and instead she spits in your face.  Where it becomes not funny is when random strangers are admiring her and she decides to spit at them.  Just like the man that is sitting behind her in the picture.  He got spit on a couple times.  It is also not funny when I am feeding her and a spoonful of lentils is sent flying back at me.  Other than these occasions, though, it’s pretty entertaining.

The screaming is mostly when we are eating in restaurants and we are not feeding her.  My mom just emailed me this picture and titled it: I want food NOW!  which I think is fitting.

Stay tuned.  I’ll be putting a lot more of the family news on here.
