Can you just take a little off the back?

Seattle Trip

While Juan was in Seattle on business, Malena and I drove over to visit him and do some Christmas shopping. We also got to see Tio Juanito and Tia Sarita. Malena absolutely LOVED the horse carousel downtown.

Malena and I checking out the view from the hotel.

Malena waving hello at an airplane (she doesn't miss a single airplane!)

Malena and Dad on the carousel.....she couldn't get enough.

Halloween - Noche de brujas

It's Minnie Mouse!

Malena had a blast handing out candy to all of the trick-or-treaters (nearly 300 of them!). She also managed to sneak a few pieces of candy for herself throughout the night.

Hangin' with Tio Juanito

Misc.

Getting ready for the bath with Dad.

Illustrating what a genius I am by reading a book all by myself.......

Did I say 'genius'? Perhaps we should call her 'cookie monster'.

Just showing off my new butterfly wings.

Sweet Baby Love

Malena making sweet baby love to her Alaskan Moose that Auntie and Jake brought back for her from their vacation to the Land of Palin, I mean Alaska.

La vida loca

Malena decided that she wanted her swimsuit on over her pajamas. So, she's chilling out, having her milk before going to bed and yep, wearing a swimsuit. Don't worry, we didn't let her actually go to bed with it on.
