bebe had a busy day today. she woke up at mems and teed's house, and endured the 2 1/2 hour drive back to boston without a peep of protest. in fact, she slept the whole way home! then, just a few short hours later, mommy and daddy cruelly stuck her back in the torture device also known as the car seat, for the 1 hour drive to providence. once again, bebe marie surprised us with a complete and total lack of complaining. zzz... zzz... zzz...
we drove down to brown for the opening-of-the-academic-year BBQ for mommy's department, and when faced with a lawn full of academics, bebe and her buddy ocean turned to their pacifiers.

someone unthinkingly scheduled the BBQ from 4-7 pm. hello, that's bebe's fussy time! how is she supposed to charm mommy's faculty and fellow grad students during the baby witching hour? well, we have no idea how, but she did it. she held it together for almost the entire thing, smiling and cooing and just generally spreading her adorable-ness all around the department of american civilization. everyone who met her was suitably impressed, although we couldn't understand why they all kept commenting on how little she is. she is over two pounds bigger than she was seven weeks ago!
anyway, when we got home, after yet another hour in the car with a cooperative beebs, we told her that the winner of the best baby of the day award would be announced shortly.
she looked a bit worried at first,

"who, me?"
