October Happenings

We've had a lot going on so far this month. Nothing too exciting, just everyday sort of things. Like the broken down barbed wire fence in our backyard, which meant that we had 3 cows come visit us within 4 days. After D chased his 2nd cow out of the backyard, M decided to go visit the farmer when he was on the far side of the field, to tell him that his fence was down. Hey, I thought I was going to get a new pet.

M even chased a cow that jumped back over the fence.
Then M's friend from college came to visit us for supper one night. Jaden and I played pretty well together, other than he wasn't a huge fan of all my hugs.
M tried to get a good picture of us, but never quite got one. So she had to settle for a video of me hugging Jaden good-bye.

I also have enjoyed reading my favorite books to D.

M didn't get any pictures, but we also spent a fun, but cold weekend up at a YMCA cabin. The worst part of the weekend was that I had a reaction to the chlorine in the pool. It wasn't very fun to have red rashes all over my legs. But other than that it was a fun weekend playing with Cousin L. in the snow and in the cabin both upstairs and down. I didn't know if M&D would remember to make me a bed, so Friday night I was preparing my bed for myself. I got 2 pillows off the couch, took my big blanket and Curious George and made a bed in the closet. I only chose the closet because last time we were at a YMCA cabin, M&D put the twin size mattress in the open closet area. After M laughed at me for making my own bed, she got D to carry in a twin mattress to put in the corner of the room.

We were card shopping the other evening and I found this really fun card to play with. The other cards just didn't hold as much interest to me. I would pick them up and listen to a few words, then close them and pick this one up again. It entertained me the whole 20 minutes we were in the store. So M&D decided to buy it for me--I guess they figured pretty cheap entertainment.

I also have been learning how to do a somersault. I still need a little help to get over. If I do it all by myself I end up a little sideways.

Needless to say it has been a busy month of exploring for me. At the end of this week we head out to San Diego so I will have all sorts of new adventures to talk about.
