Sorry I never ended up getting this post out last week. We got home on Sunday night and found that we didn't have internet access. The rest of the trip went well. The second flight didn't go any better than the first, but it didn't go any worse either. If the title of this post hasn't given it away yet, guess what Squeaker is eating... that's right she's eating squid, which in my defense was on the children's menu.
She liked the first two pieces, but after that sucked off the breading and spit out the squid. We also tried Speitzle (spelling is questionable here, but it as german potato dish), but she liked her chicken nuggets more. Our other adventure came during a trip to the swimming pool. Put in the water, Squeaker morphs into some kind of aquatic demon. She kicks her legs like crazy and in an unsettling voice yells "KICK!" over and over.
As I mentioned before her vocabulary is growing like crazy. So far her father has kept his cool on the road, so she hasn't learned any special words yet, but some of her favorite sentences from our trip are "shoes on, otter ocean, diaper dirty, socks off, more fishy, remember to use the zip code, book read, and other shoe. She also wants to walk everywhere and wants to drink from a cup like a big girl.
Well that's all I have time for now. She keeps looking at the screen and saying "Baby Picture" and jumping up and down. I have gotten some editorial comments about the wave incident on break. For the record the wave was not big. Squeaker and her aunt did not get knocked down, they merely got a little wet. Reports of my cowardice have been greatly exaggerated.
We went back to the children's museum this week, the one from March. I took a few pictures and video of her playing on the same places she played before. I will splice them together for next week so y'all can get a feel for the difference.
