Cara, month 18

It's really still month 17, but the last page is just too long. On 9/2/06, I caught Cara standing in a toy basket. In the bottom righthand corner of the shot is what is probably her current favorite book.

On 9/4/06 (still not month 18!), we visited my parents and pictures were taken. Here Cara is sitting in a grown-up chair!

Daddy shows Cara a book. This happens very often, but we have few pictures to prove it.

Cara is happy with her rabbit lawn ornament.

On 9/10/06, Cara and Grandma and Mommy visited Deep Cut Park in Middletown.

On 9/16/06, Cara and Mommy and Aunt Claire went to Wheaton Village. Here, Cara shows herself to be rather uninterested with the glassblowing demonstration taking place behind her.

Aunt Claire and Cara having fun.

Cara demonstrates for the populace of the Italian Heritage Festival her special dance technique. She appears to be in mid-"jump" here.

On 9/17/06, I took Cara down to my parents' for a fun-filled day. Here she is chowing down.

Cara shows her Eagles pride. While wearing this item, she traipsed along happily saying "hat! hat!" to herself.

Cara talks to her toys. I try to comfort Rusty, who was the object of much pursuit.

Cara's Grandma reading Cara a nice book. In fact, we all read her at least part of that book that day.

9/24/06 and we are back at my parents' house. Here Cara assumes a poignant expression while eating pineapple.

We are always reading to Cara; she loves it and so do we. Here I'm reading her the great little book Paddington Bear.

Somewhat distracted by the camera:

On 9/30/06, it was apple-picking day!

On 10/4/06, it was playdate night. Here is Cara showing her chocolate face while playing with what I believe to be an ashtray.

Cara and PJ share the chair for a brief moment.

Cara, after many attempts, successfully climbed into a box. Then she tried to pick up a toy that was underneath it.
