Pumpkin was born in Edinburgh and is particularly thrilled to be here. She's really enjoying the process of exploring the city, and she loves hearing stories about when she was a "wee bairn" here in bonnie Scotland.
She's developed a funny quirk over the last week. She loves to strike up conversations with anyone (that's not the funny part--that's a perfectly normal part of her personality), but in the midst of the conversation, she ends up trying to match the other person's accent. From what I can tell, she is doing this completely un-intentionally. (and it's hilarious to witness.)
Our dear friends James and Vickie had us over for lunch yesterday. It was so wonderful to catch up with them--what a treat! Anyway, at one point they were asking Pumpkin a question and she slipped in to her "matching" (sort of) Scottish accent when she answered the question. Hunter and I were trying not to crack up.
I've tried to tell Pumpkin (behind the scenes..when it's just me & her) that it's perfectly fine to just be herself and speak the way she normally does. She totally agreed with me and seemed to be oblivious to her on-again-off-again Scottish accent.

In other news, Manzo's 1st tooth has busted through! Bottom right tooth. It's super cute.
