Well, we knew it would happen sooner or later... She has decided that "Nooooo" is the answer to everything. Do you want a drink? "No" .... frustrated cuz she can't move an immovable object? "NOOOOOOOO".... Doesn't want to be doing what she's doing? "Noooooo"...

You get the picture. Somehow we consider this adorable, cuz she just is, although we are encouraging her to explore using other words to express her feelings. The good news is she understands pretty much everything we say so when the rest of her vocabulary kicks in, she's going to tell us a thing or two!

We all had a great time at the Children's Museum on Saturday w/ our friends K D & J. Great place & so great to see them again!!

Muffin & Daddy had a nice day at the park this weekend. Mama & Dada are tag-teaming yard work tasks in preparation for hydro-seeding. Dada had yesterday off and did even more work on that project. It will be nice to have a lawn again!

Where to begin... I feel like there is so much to catch everyone up on since I haven't been the best at sending updates lately.

This is a photo of us at the local park last weekend. The sweater is great-auntie's handiwork handed down from the China gang.

Muffin is still the easiest, sweetest, smartest & most fun kid ever! (total mama bias, but it's true!)

Yesterday evening, I transplanted a few bulbs and she was right by my side, shovel in hand, digging. She did a great job not eating the worms we found. She brought them to Dada instead.

She's a great talker - babbles incessantly. Her "real" words are becoming more & more frequent amid the babble though. Her whoa's, wow's, oh's, & uh-oh's are extremely well placed in conversation.

We discovered her first freckle this week. An odd milestone, but there it is! It is on her left leg, just above the ankle in front. The first of many I imagine given Mama & Dada's coloring.

Tomorrow we head to the children's museum w/ friends! I can't wait. It will be a fun adventure for us.
