September 11

Being such a good girl on your first plane ride.

You slept almost the entire time we were at the zoo.

Just as we were about to leave, you woke up in time for a photo op. At first you were a little uncertain...

...then you were pretty sure this wasn't enjoyable...

...then you were just plain mad. Still, this is one of only a few pictures of all three of us, and it kind of makes me laugh, so it made the cut.

You tolerated the elephant only slightly better than the carousel horse.

Sand in your toes!

We discovered you are not a "beach babe". We were on the beach for less than 10 minutes before your eyes became red and swollen. So we got our delicate baby back in the car and went to lunch!

You provide lots of entertainment for Daddy and I.

I was trying to convince you to eat a fry at a Greek diner we went to--I think you knew exactly what I wanted. When the camera was out, you ignored the fry, but each time I turned it off, you would hold the fry to your mouth with a little smirk.

Daddy's little girl.
