Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Sometimes the living of life takes precedence over its documentation. The following is a collection of bits and bobs to bring us all up to speed:

Ouija Bea
When she isn't pulling them out of their sleeves, or dropping them on the floor to turn one into two (or three), Beatrice enjoys scribbling with crayons. Often on paper. She has developed some skill flying solo, but sometimes she wants a little help. She will pick out a color, hand it to me, then point very determinedly at a spot on the paper. At first I would draw something for her when she did this. But then I realized that I could encourage her to hold onto my hand and the crayon and direct the two around the paper. I apply pressure to the crayon and she does the drawing. Dale has termed this process the Ouija Bea. This drawing is part Ouija Bea, part regular Bea.

New Pond Farm
We recently learned about this fantastic farm in Redding, CT. They have hiking trails, farm animals, and a dairy store that sells the most amazing milk, cheese, yogurt, and eggs on the honor system. (They also offer various programs for children, but Bea is still a bit too young.) Grandma Mary is visiting and we took a trip to the farm on a blustery day last weekend and walked around.
Note my fantastic combination of "foul weather gear" (courtesy of Grandpa Griff), Ergo baby carrier, and hiking boots. Classy. But Bea is still cute in her rain coat!

Climbing
Bea is pretty good at getting off of furniture, and has been for some time. But the other day she pulled herself up into a chair for the first time. She was VERY pleased with herself. She even agreed to recreate the process for the camera (wearing part of her witchy Halloween costume).
