GIRLY

MAMA PICKED UP SOME GIRLY HAIR ACCESSORIES IN AN ATTEMPT TO STAVE OFF A FEW OF THOSE "OH HE'S SUCH A HANDSOME LITTLE BOY" COMMENTS. STILL NOT QUITE ENOUGH HAIR TO MAKE THIS WORK, BUT WE'RE GETTING THERE...

CATCHING UP

IT'S BEEN A LONG WEEK, AND MAMA'S INTERNET WAS CANCELLED BY THOSE BOZOS AT COGECO. THEY'VE FINALLY HOOKED US BACK UP, SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO...

THE FRITH PREPARING TO HELP MAMA ASSEMBLE SOME RECALCITRANT IKEA FURNITURE.

SPORTING HER NEW LEGGINGS FROM HONEY-BUNCH. THEY CLOSE THAT PESKY GAP BETWEEN PANTS AND SOCKS AND LOOK TRULY AWESOME DOING IT.

FINALLY, DEMONSTRATING SOME MAD CHAIR-SITTING SKILLS...

AND PLAYING WITH HER TOES.

I CAN DO IT

ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT CLOTHES ON THE FRITH..

TODAY I MANAGED TO CATCH HER IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO PUT A SHIRT ON.

OF COURSE, WHEN I CALLED HER ON IT, SHE WAS ALL INNOCENT SMILES.

LATER, FRITH HELPED MAMA AND OMI GET A LITTLE WORK DONE ON THE FUTURE-FRITH-BEDROOM. SHE IS PARTICULARLY GOOD WITH A HAMMER. ACTUALLY, WE JUST DRANK TEA AND SPREAD AROUND A LOT OF COOKIE CRUMBS.

TINY FRITH

I JUST SCANNED IN A COUPLE OF PHOTOS I FOUND FROM NEW YEAR'S EVE LAST YEAR.

THE QUALITY IS KIND OF GRAINY..

BUT IS THAT NOT THE SWEETEST LITTLE TWO-WEEK-OLD BEAN YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

CLIMBY

FRITH HAS TAKEN TO CLIMBING THINGS OTHER THAN STAIRS. THIS MORNING IT WAS THE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE WICKER CHAIR THAT LIVES IN THE CORNER. AT LEAST IT'S GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

LATER, SHE CONSIDERED MOVING INTO THE FRIDGE.

SNOWSUIT

THIS IS THE NEW FRITH SNOWSUIT, FRESH FROM SEARS. IT IS SIZED FOR A TWO-YEAR-OLD. THE FEET OF THE 18-MONTH-OLD VERSION WOULDN'T FIT FRITHSQUATCH HERE.

STAIRCLIMBER

BECAUSE FRITH WHIMPERS SO SADLY AT THE GATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS, I THOUGHT I'D LET HER HAVE A (CLOSELY MONITORED) GO AT CLIMBING.

SHE WAS ..

.. SPECTACULARLY GOOD AT IT.

AND MADE IT ..

.. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP, WITHOUT INCIDENT OR FEAR.. *PROUD*

FRITH GARRETT

ALTHOUGH WE RAKED UP SIX BAGS OF LEAVES LAST SATURDAY, TODAY THERE WERE MORE.

LUCKILY.

FRITH HAD A BLAST SCUFFLING AROUND IN THEM.

AT ONE POINT SHE WAS BURIED UP PAST HER EYEBALLS.

THIS DEVASTATINGLY CUTE DRAGON JACKET COMES COURTESY OF HOLDEN (THANK-YOU!)

WE LIKE AUTUMN.

FRITH THERE AND EVERYWHERE

THIS MORNING AS I DID THE DISHES I COULD HEAR FRITH WORKING VERY HARD AT SOMETHING, JUST BEHIND ME.

CLIMBING INTO THE LAUNDRY BASKET, AFTER EMPTYING IT OUT, APPARENTLY.

THEN SHE WANTED TO BE FED IN THERE AS WELL (I COMPLIED - WHAT THE HECK.)

LATER, SHE TURNED UP HERE.

MÉMÉ AND PÉPÉ BRING DINNER

MÉMÉ NANCY AND FRITH GOT ON LIKE A HOUSE AFIRE AS USUAL - FRITH EVEN SHARED A TRISCUIT.


THEN FRITH THOUGHT PÉPÉ TERRY MIGHT LIKE TO SHARE SOME OF HER LOW-FAT BRIE.

WHEN HE HESITATED, SHE SORT OF INSISTED.
