Cara, month 32 (and Christmas 2007)

11/24/07: We didn't get any Thanksgiving pictures at all, but we did capture this priceless moment. Cara enjoys a tub toy called Sudsy Mudsy (or something very similar). Notice the greenish tinge of the bathwater, as well as my own muddy hand (far left).

11/29/07, the 2007 Cara Holiday Photo Shoot. These are what I thought were the best pictures we got. Whenever we told Cara to smile she gave us this lopsided mouth--you can see it in one of the following. It was better when we told her to laugh, as in this first photo:

"You are getting sleeeepy....veeerrrrry sleeepy.... Tomorrow you will show me a 24-hour Diego marathon..."

I'm not sure what my finger is doing in this photo.

12/14/07: New photos! I believe these would technically be in month 33. Cara was sick and her Grandma stayed with her, leaving behind this impressive parade of toys:

12/21/07, after the holiday party at Susan's, the Loefflers came over and we had another super-special Neighbor Holiday Party. Here, Cara is absolutely delighted to have received a bag of Gummi Bears.

PJ playing with his very cool garbage truck toy.

The same night, Mommy and Cara lounge on the loveseat.

Christmas morning, Cara occupies her coloring castle:

Mommy and Baby Jaguar like it in the castle.

Here's a good close-up of Baby Jaguar:

Here are just a couple of pictures from Dad's camera on Christmas day. First, Cara discovering her dollhouse:

Later, on the couch with Daddy, Cara got to watch some Diego. For this shot she was probably asked to laugh.
