Arlington National Cemetary

Arlington National Cemetary
Phoebe and I took the bus and train over today for a walk. We're having more gorgeous fall weather (60s and sunny!). She rode on my back with little fuss, as long as there was some stranger that got sucked in to her cute smiles. Then she knows how to put on a show. The views from Arlington House on the hill are fantastic. Probably the best views in the entire area, which is the reason for the site I presume. Colors are at peak right now so hopefully we can get out more in the next few days to enjoy this great weather and the beautiful trees around here.

EATING PEAS
As we've said, she can use her fingers, but is clearly enjoying eating a bit like a bird. This sequence should give you a pretty good idea what it looks like. We're grateful she loves peas. She had some chili I made Saturday night and seemed to think that was okay too!
Planning her attack

Like bobbing for apples. There's a lot of smearing her wide open mouth across the tray.
Success is always announced in case we didn't notice.
