Dan started school on the 23rd. There are some very large papers on the horizon... grad school ain't easy. It takes a lot of work to be a "Master"!
Mather is back in daycare for two days a week. The transition was a little rough. She is so mobile, and so unsteady. It is hard to keep her out of trouble these days. We caught her in the midst of some mischief in the kitchen the other day...
Those snacks had been sealed in a container in her diaper bag.She's also proving that anything can be a toy...
The soap goes in here, right?We headed to the mountains last weekend with my friend from college, Erin, and her family and friends. Mather got to spend a few days with her buddy Parker Jane.
I'm bigger than you are!
Mather is showing P.J. her coffee table standing skills.
Daddy Jungle Gym!The highlight of the weekend was our trip to Pinecrest Lake. We rented a party boat for a few hours. Then we headed to the shore for some swimming.
Mather got to debut her sunbathing outfit. It's a silly onesie/skirt combo.Thanks to Grandma Julie!
The girls suit-up, and Mather won't sit still!
Cuteness!
Mather is out for a ride on the giant clown fish.(It took me about 30 minutes to blow it up)
Mather's first surfing lesson.P.J. is snuggling with Erin - the water was a bit cold.
Those were the good parts of the weekend. On a different note... Mather had a lengthy episode of inexplicable vomiting, her first ever, a few hours after we arrived on Friday night (altitude sickness??), but by Saturday morning she was fine. And, we got a flat tire on our drive home. Fortunately, Mather was able to stay entertained while we waited for AAA:
Alright Daddy, you do the pedals, I'll do the steering.We made it home safely, without Mather at the helm. Then we wished for another vacation, to recover from the first vacation. Fortunately, we're just hanging around for the Labor Day weekend. And we can't go very far away, even if we wanted to - the bay bridge is closed.
Daniel is gearing up for his annual theater immersion with the San Francisco Fringe Festival. He is a light-board operator for two shows this season. He is attending technical rehearsals for most of the afternoon today.
I (finally) got Mather down for her morning nap. All she wants to do is stand. We put her down for a nap only to find her standing in her crib moments later. Needless to say, it is pretty frustrating. She's probably teething again, too. Lots of drool and plenty of crankiness. Here's a good shot of the bottom two:
And she's keeping up with her oral hygiene:
Mather just woke up from that nap. She's probably standing in her crib, waiting for me... that's all for now!

I didn't know Mather used a pacifier - is she very attached to it? Your baby is total "cuteness" as you say. I want one!
Well, CrockMama, your lucky day is on the way. You're on the verge of getting your very own cuteness!
Yes, Mather uses a pacifier. She goes most of the day without it. We offer it to her for naps, bedtime, car rides, and whenever she gets cranky... sometimes she takes it, sometimes she doesn't. Maybe she's starting to move on? (fingers crossed) She's not the bink-a-holic that she once was. I hope she gives up the binky habit on her own... it will be a real struggle (for us and for her) if/when we have to take it away.
Very good update. I'm on the "island with uncle Jerry and could use the clownfish. He almost drowned me on the float that we have. Getting lots of sun and Mosquito bites. I'll see you on the 21st if I don't come down with West Nile from the damn bugs. Big kisses to Miss Magoo. I can hardly wait to see her.
