Holy Guacomole, It's October!

I am so sorry that I haven't updated the blog in two months. I guess a new job will do that to you.

Recent highlights:

*Ceci started at a new day care 4 days a week. This morning she woke up, saw Chris was dressed and said "friends, Yacob". She wouldn't let up. Chris finally had to take her to school so she could see her friends (one of them is named Jacob).

*Cecilia has discovered "princess". She wants to watch movies with princesses, listen to the same track on her Backyardigans CD "I Love Being a Princess", and she's going to be a princess for Halloween.

*When she's not listening to the Backyardigans, Ceci asks to listen to "band." It started when she heard the Oregon State fight song on the radio a couple of weeks ago. When it finished, she asked for "band". I guess she thought it was like a live band performance where she would hear more than one song. Anyway, she asks for "band" whenever we get in the car. It can't be wind ensemble or orchestra - it has to be marching band. Right now, her favorites are the OSU fight songs (both Oregon State and Ohio State), marches in general, and "Rock Lobster."

*When she hears the garage door, Ceci yells "Daddy. I coming." and runs for the door. I open the door so she can greet Chris as he comes in from the garage. This was especially cute (and a little scary) a couple of nights ago. Chris came home while Ceci was taking her bath. She heard the door, said, "Daddy! I coming." then tried to get out of the tub to go get him! She was so upset that I wouldn't let her out to meet him.

*She likes to eat her meals at her little table from IKEA, but she will look at you and tell you to "sit" next to her.

*Her favorite book is "There Was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow."

*She recently acquired a taste for pork. Usually, she won't eat meat, but the last couple of times she gobbled up pork chops and pork roast.

*When she wants to relax, she says "hair". She wants you to comb her hair with your fingers.

*Cecilia will be 22 months old on the 19th of October.

*Ceci just got her first Oregon State football jersey.

*She can buzz on brass mouthpieces.

*She takes very good care of her "Golly" by feeding her, trying to dress her, and wrapping her up in blankets.

Let's make a deal - I will get on here and update the blog once a week. To sweeten the deal, I will throw in new pictures tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in!
