Methodical Melon

I know, it's only been 5 days since my last post, but we've taken a couple cute pictures lately that I feel I must share. Helen is becoming a person with her own ideas, likes and dislikes. For instance, her favorite color is hands down green. And she often tells chairs, walls and eating utensils that they are "not nice" when she bangs her hand or toe into them or they've offended her in any other way. And Ethan, who is the culprit behind those scratches near her eye and a nice bite on the arm the week before is most definitely on her "not nice" list as she has often told us (luckily he's been recently moved to the next room up since he's just about 3!). My favorite right now is when we play "big hugs" and "baby hugs" - I usually get several of each.
Tonight, Helen went through most of our kitchen utensil drawer to determine the best item that fits into the tiny hole on the tricycle. Note wisk and ice cream scooper on top of garbage can to right.
Nope, the wisk doesn't fit.
It's conclusive: Helen's research has shown again and again that the beater handle is the best tool to insert into the hole on the tricycle (her original hypothesis).

D was in the big easy last week for work and brought home some presents for his gals. Here, Helen is wearing every single one of them.
"I've just got to be me...."
Trying to fit on the baby bed, complete with covers.

I can hear her little voice, when she says "baby hugs" right now. She is just the cutest thing.

The first picture of Helen with a 'tool' (beater) in her hand holding the bike with the other hand, look so professional holding the stroller and placing the 'tool/beater' in the hole just like a real 'repair person.' Sooooo cute! And Helen spares nothing as she gets all decked out in the feather mask and feather boa and necklaces to boot. Very fun and thanks so much Mary. xoxoxoxo Grandma
