Princess Car

Thank you Karst family for the great car and gas pump. Erin loves driving around the house and being chaffeured around.

Granny the babysitter

Despite being sick on Saturday Bridget and Brendan headed off to the annual holiday party and Granny came to babysit. The next day we all enjoyed the nice weather and better health.

SICK SICK

On Tuesday a little boy at daycare was vomitting all day long. Apparently it was very contagious. Erin and Brendan were sick on Thursday and Bridget was sick on Saturday. Erin tries to comfort her sick parents since she felt much better after vomitting from 3am to 8am. Her only set back was a bottle of milk her mother fed her at 6pm (despite the doctors orders for no dairy).

Latkes!

On the third night of hanukah Brendan and Erin made potato latkes. Jews in training....

18 month stats

Sorry no photo.....but here are her new statistics.
Weight 24lbs 1 oz (50%)
Length 34 inches (100%)
Head Circumference 19 and 1/4 inch (96%)

So growing and devoloping nicely.

Erin is still learning that soccer balls are for kicking not sitting on. The soccer ball is from Mexico so she is a little confused about her team spirit.

Playing soccer on the beach

Thanks to Uncle Gavin and Aunt Sara for the South Africa World Cup soccer outfit. Hopefully this will inspire Erin to become and elite athlete and support her parents in their retirement.

Making muffins

We had lemon poppy seed muffins for breakfast and Erin helped spread the sugar frosting on top!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Brendan's Aunt's house (Aunt Nancy). Erin is playing with the toys from the early 1970's along with her second cousins Natalia (short hair) and Falon.

Hanging out with Dad

Brendan played with Erin early in the morning ( check out his mustash for "Movember") so that Bridget could sleep in. Erin loves to take pictures with the camara and then look at her image on the screen.

Taste testing

Erin loves her new sippy cup. She likes to test her taste buds with a little bit of this and little bit of that.

Getting undressed at the table

Erin decided to undress herself at the dinner table. I sure hope the neck of this shirt will shrink back to normal

San Diego Wild Animal Park

On our last day in San Diego we went to the Wild Animal Park. Erin really enjoyed watching the baby elephants and quaking with the ducks.

Random Fun

Running the halls of the conference praciting to be a future running back!

Playing with straws again at the mexican restuarant.

Second Cousin Nicole Fox

We stopped by Bridget's cousin Nicole's house in San Diego and had a fun time watching the kids our the window and jumping on the couch.

UPside Down

Trying to get Erin to sit still while taking a picture by extending your arm our it difficult, hence the upside-down photos and the poor framing of the pictures.
