Sayings We Heard From Joey's Room Last Night

Long after we put Joey to bed last night, we heard the following from within his room:

"Mine. My book. Mine."

And a while later,

"Oh no! What happened?!"

And later still, a little more adamently,

"NO! MY cookie!"

Is this the case of a multiple personality, or is it just a youngster finding his voice? Only time will tell...

In the meantime, here are more of our favorite pictures from our autumn nature walk:

On another note, Jon and I just embarked on a marathon viewing (over the course of several nights) of the "Lord of the Ring" series, and when Joey woke up in the morning, I couldn't help wondering whether he reminded me more of a hobbit (based on his appearance, including his chubby, bare feet) or of Smiegel (based on his gravely "Scary Joey" voice that he uses to make us laugh and on his all-too-frequent use of the word "mine.").
