New booster. So far working pretty good! [knock knock]Whew, these weeks seem to be going by... that's good though cause maybe Daddy will be home soon. I think Mommy and I are more than ready!
What has happened? Mommy didn't have any pictures last week so the post got put off and off and well, here we are! Last weekend, Mommy went to a conference in Austin and left me with Ms. Kim and her son Jacob. Kim worked with Mommy in SD and now here so they've known each other for a while. Jacob just turned 2 in June so, in theory, we should get a long great. Mommy left with Heather on Friday afternoon and was back late Saturday night. Kim says I did great!! Jacob and I played well, slept perfect (although getting the two of us down was a little tricky), and worked hard at teaching each other to share.
This last week has also gone by in a blur. Not fast really, just so routine we are pretty uneventful during the work days. Lucky for us, Mommy had a 3 day weekend because of the holiday. This weekend has been packed full of fun. Friday, Mommy and I layed low after work and had a girls/movie night. I even watched something other than Elmo or Mickey Mouse - "Open Season." Okay, I mostly wrestled with Daisy, but I watched a good 1/4 of it! I mostly enjoy movie night for the popcorn!
After Ms. Kim heaved us up this millions of times -we both finally figured it out on our own. Serious toddler skills!
Saturday we met up for a play date with Jacob at Target and the Jump Around. Mommy and Kim both needed stuff so off we went. First, I wanted the same Train jammies Jacob was getting and then he wanted the Minnie Mouse ones I was getting - I think we both made it home with the appropriate pairs in the end.
Sunday was cleaning day. Mommy has got it in her head to all of a sudden finish the house. She is tired of empty walls and bare corners. She did an overhaul (good cleaning) and hung a couple of things that have been 'waiting' (for what? - I don't know) and felt pretty satisfied.
After nap, we met up with a co-worker of Mommy's - Katie. Get this -she started at the hospital in July, went to UW as an undergraduate right behind Mommy, and is originally from Spearfish!!! No, she is not military. She actually attended graduate school here and they decided to move back - small world! Anyway, she has 3 beautiful children - 6, 2, and 11 months. They all met us at the zoo. They have a new addition with new animals and it was a lot of fun. We didn't get any pictures. It was opening weekend for the new addition and their were so many people Mommy had to stay on her toes to keep up with me!
Finally, Monday rolled around and Mommy was on her "finish the house" kick again. We stopped by some furniture stores. She really wants a sofa table, some lamps, and maybe a bench or something to finish the living room. We didn't buy anything, but I can tell she's got some ideas churning...
This evening, we had Kim, Jacob, Brian, Heather, and Heather's mommy over for dinner. It was great. We made Auntie's Turkey burgers for the first time and they were a hit. I was having a little trouble sharing and playing nice though. Mommy actually put me in time-out TWICE while they were here! Guess I need to have people over more often and learn to share my toys.
Well that is about the excitement of our last two weeks. New things for me?- I like to ask a LOT of questions. "Where Nana are?" "Where lovey are?" "Why?" (over and over) "What noise?" "What noise Momma?"
- Every night before going to bed I run through a laundry list: "Jacob sleeping? Kim sleeping? Nana sleeping? Huck sleeping? Kaylee (new neighbor friend!) sleeping? Kitty sleeping (neighbor's cat)? Papa sleeping? Morgan sleeping (Heather's dog)? Heather sleeping?" etc etc etc!!
- I have been requesting to sleep in Mommy's bed a lot. Never get to and never have (cause I won't) like the 3 times she has tried it. I just like to control my world.
- Picking everything everyday: What I wear, what shoes, what goes in my hair - true Diva style!
- Growing! The last two dresses I've put on barely cover the bum. Mommy is hoping to get some measurements soon!
Well, enjoy some videos this week. Our love to you all! x
Video: Walking Daisy - and then in true toddler form changing my mind.
Video: Sliding with Jacob at the Jump-Around (an indoor blow up jumping castle playland)
Video: I originally tried this on my own. Mommy laughed so hard. Of course she had to "suggest" it to get it on video!

So good to hear from you! Have been thinking about you girls a lot lately! Love the PB video. Makes me think I should try licking my elbow...as ridiculus as it is :) Glad your trip to Austin was a success. That Jump Around looks like a pretty cool place. I know a few kiddos who would love something like that...
Sounds and looks like you and Maddy have been doing pretty good with out Dad around! Can't wait to see you both when I get home. Love U
