A new toy! Oh boy!

Daddy got a new toy for me that is a true delight.

It is a tent thingy that I can crawl around in. It says Starck on the side. I think it is really cool.

Uh-hum. I think it is really cool.

No. I think it is really cool!

See!

Daddy also seems to like it.

Okay, I'm bored already. I am so out of here!

What an amazing experience I had today! We went to this place where over a hundred pugs snorted and slobbered . . . in costumes!

With me in the old standby dog costume and Cosmo as a baby, we joined in the fun at DFW Pug Rescue Club's 5th annual Pug-a-ween!

Poor Cosmo with that silly diaper.

The other pugs were a little frightened.

But Cosmo didn't seem to mind. And I guess he shouldn't have cared. There were many seriously silly puggies there for me to laugh at.

The Rabbi pug, for example.

The Bride and Groom pug. They placed in a few of the contests, even.

The Boysenberry Pug. How cruel is that?

The Indian Pug Princess, or Pugahontas, as Mommy called her.

A pug in a pod.

A genie pug.

A diva pug.

A faerie pug. That poor child thinks Mommy is taking a picture of her. Isn't that sad?

A royal pug.

And Mommy's favorite, the pug pirate and the shark. It is hard to see in this photo, but it was a pretty amazing costume!!

And where am I in all of the fun? Being held by the photographer. I gotta stay where it is safe, people. Did you see the crazy things these folks were up to. Chances are they were about to make me look like a dog, too.

Oh wait . . .

Te celebrate their 11th year of married bliss, Mommy and Daddy took me down to the neighborhood elementary school, Arapaho Elementary to be exact, for a fun fall carnival.

Of course, because they are cruel, they took me in my Halloween costume.

We had a fun time, anyway. There was a cake walk, face painting, and a clown who made balloon animals. Big surprise, Mommy got me an orange giraffe. She took a picture of it with the other camera for my scrapbook, so sorry!

Daddy went back home and brought Cosmo so he could enjoy the fun, too. After watching the magic show and all the little people like me, I got a little sleepy.

Mommy carried me home whil Cosmo got a ride in my stroller.

After, Mommy's friend, Hilary and her daughter Megan, came and watched me while Mommy and Daddy went to see a movie. It was something about love, I think. Mommy didn't think it was that great, but Daddy liked it a lot. I had a good time playing with my toys while Hilary and Megan tried to figure out our wacky TV system. The blinking black boxes strike again!

I spy with my little eye . . .

A voice recorder!! Wow, that is pretty cool! I want it!

Even better, it sounds like me and Mommy and Daddy! How does that work?

Okay, give it to me. I will figure this out.

Hmmmm. Let's see.

It is still making noise!

Perhaps if I put it in my mouth?

Well, that didn't work. I am stumped!!

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Sometimes, Mommy doesn't give me the booby when I want it, so I have to use less than subtle tactics to get it!

Maybe the booby will just pop in my mouth if I just attack Mommy!

Look lady, give me the boob and no one gets hurt! Don't say I didn't warn you!!

Is this why she calls me a booby vampire?

Lili, the Baby Vampire
(Sung to Billy Don't Be a Hero)

At first she ju-ust sucked on booby
and somtimes your-or fingers.
Now she goes for nearly everything
And with teeth, it sometimes hurts.
She likes to chew-ew on her toys
and on her little toes.
But things get very stra-ange
when she chews upon your nose.
You nose!

Lili, the baby vampire, she chews on everything.
Lili, the baby vampire, we thinks she's teething.
And if you don't look out,
she might chew on your snout.
Lili, the baby vampire, she'll chew on you!

When the weather isn't too hot, Mommy and Daddy (and sometimes the doggies) take me for a walk.

First we have to load up and get ready.

Sometimes, they take too long. I mean, how much stuff do we need for a walk around the block??

Anyway, then we take off down Magnolia. Mommy says this was the way she went when I was getting ready to make my debut.

Some houses have decorated for Halloween. How come they aren't wearing silly dog costumes?

Then we turn right down Something or Other street. I am usually asleep by now or busy looking at the leaves on the ground or in the trees.

Then, we head home! It isn't really THAT exciting, now that I think about it. I mean, where are the hootchie Swedes? Where are the drunk singers??

I used to fall asleep on booby . . . well, I still do, but I did it a lot more when I was little and tiny. Now that I am a big girl, you'd think I could stay awake, but no!!

After a nice big dinner, I got pretty tired, so I just decided this was as good a place as any to take a nap.

You would think my parents would let me sleep in peace . . .

You would be wrong.

Mommy planted this little garden for me. Want to see me in it?

Mommy put in vines, flowers, and a little bench made just for me.

It got a little overgrown while we were away in Sweden, but the flowers and the blossoming vine are very pretty.

Of course, Daddy just plunked me down here and walked off to take the picture. Excuse me, but what in the heck is this green stuff??

Well, Mommy finally got on the ball and posted the rest of my naked pictures!

If you are going to "air out" a baby, I think it is a good idea to pick some place that is easy to clean.

Like a bathtub!

The great thing about the bathtub is that I can play around and be naked. It is a little slippery though . . .

The dogs like to come and play, too!

The dogs are so silly!

Of course, so is Mommy with that camera!

I guess I can get silly, too!

And serious . . .

Just kidding!
