THE WOG VISITS THE CAPE
We took an impromptu visit to Cape Cod this weekend. Who had a good time?
The Wog did!
She wore herself out playing at the hotel and at the pool...
(Coming...)
(Closer...)
(And closest...)
(And going again...)
Was typically manic at dinner last night...
Crashed in the car...
And didn't wake up while we frantically tried to set up the hotel pac 'n play...
The next morning she was sitting pretty.

A VISIT FROM THE OSBORN FAMILY
We had a quick visit two nights ago from 6/7th of the FHOIV family. Hank, Krista, Freddy, Maya, Amelia, & Shunka rolled into town for pizza and Blizzards; Lila remained in Maine with her grandparents, reveling in her temporary status as an only child.
The twins are 13 months old and doing lots of things: pointing, saying "tankoo," and beginning to toddle. Polly tried to keep up, but mostly she sat in her stroller looking overwhelmed.
As we discovered when visiting with another set of twins, Polly's cousins John and Mary, Polly has a tendency to take and to poke. I figure twins are the best recipients for Polly's taking and poking since they (and their parents) are used to mediating behavior.
Here, Polly gets what she gives:
Freddy and Polly get to know each other:
It's hard to take a picture of 2 13-month olds and 1 10-month old in which they're all looking at the camera, as evidenced by this picture. (Two out of three isn't bad.):
Oh, and you know your house is too small when the first reaction of a 5-year-old (no less one who has been living in an apartment in Manhattan for the past two years) is, "Look at the tiny house!" We're working on it, Freddy. We're working on it.

MELTDOWN EVASION TECHNIQUE #361
In an attempt to circumvent a very rare, near meltdown in the middle of the grocery store today, I frantically busted open a nearby box and gave The Wog her very first graham cracker.
Mere minutes later, a very happy (if messy) little Wog:
