Serious Giggles

Eliza is usually rather camera-shy. Thankfully, she didn't notice the camera taking this video!

Eliza Converses with Osco

Here's the famous debate between Eliza and Osco-the-Cat (12/30/08):



And here is a link to a big photo album (with a few videos, too) from November and December '08 -- holidays with both sides of the family!

A Cow!

As we are getting ready to celebrate the first night of Chanukah tonight, and to travel south to Dallas to visit Katie's family tomorrow, we thought we would leave our faithful blog readers with an anecdote from this week:

So starting last weekend, Eliza has been saying "A Cow" often. As in, way more often than she sees any bovines, and way more often than we would expect her to think of cows. So it was a little mystery: what, oh what, does "A Cow" actually mean?

For a while, Dan thought that maybe she'd picked up the word "Echo" and had a good time with that -- he'd say "Ah," she'd say "Ah"; he'd say "Eeee," she'd say "Eeee." And so on. And on.

But, she was still saying "A Cow" after Daddy had returned to work on Monday, and since Mommy is not really a fan of playing the echo game, it seemed we had not solved the mystery. For a while, Katie thought that maybe "A Cow" meant "Okay" -- except that Eliza has been correctly saying "Okay" for over a month. Hmm.

Finally, on Wednesday morning the mystery was solved. Trying to get out the door to head to playgroup, Mommy urgently said "Let's Go!" to which Eliza grabbed her shoes, smiled, and proclaimed "A Cow!" So, another mystery in Toddler-speak solved...

Happy Halloween!

Yeah, yeah, so Halloween was actually a few weeks ago. But better late than never! In addition to attending several Halloween parties, Eliza went trick-or-treating with her friend Mathias. And unlike last year, she actually walked from house to house and collected (and ate!) some candy this year.

As you will see from the pictures, they went as Flamenco dancers. Eliza's dress was brought back from Seville by her Grandma Irene. Here are some pictures and a video of the big night. (Please excuse the purplish hue that some of the pictures have--it was our old camera's last stand.)
