A Day in the Life

Clinton's in the middle of potato harvest.
This is what he does all day. He runs the piler that stacks the potatoes.

I chase a little monkey (also known as Rebecca) around all day. She's on the verge of walking but crawls everywhere! And she's fast too! This is what the two of us do:

The mornings and evenings have turned freezing around these parts so we dress in layers. The shoes keep the socks on since she likes to pull her socks off and chew on them. Who cares if we match? Not us!

We do lots of walking with the Lightening McQueen car. She's finally figured out how to steer so she can get where she wants to go and not just run into the wall and get stuck.

Next, she'll find the kitty and try to play with him. She'll chase that poor cat everywhere. She learned how to climb the stairs so she could chase the cat. He figured out that she couldn't climb the stairs to get him so he'd sit 4 or 5 stairs up and just stare at her with a look that said, "Haha! Sucker! You can get me. Neener neener neener!" Needless to say, he was surprised the day he opened his eyes and saw Becca right in his face.

She'll stand on her own.

Then she'll help Grandma Harper with the dishes.


And get soap beards...

From doing this. Who knew that soap could taste so good?

Just a Snapshot

Sorry it's been so long folks. Until I can get some pictures for a post I have in mind, here's a snapshot of the past month and a half.

Summer:

Swimming with Cousin Brinley

I can splash BIG!

So you're telling me that if I lean on the side of the pool, the water comes out?

Hey Mommy. I like to be outside!

Look! I can stand one handed!

Fall:
Haha! I have stolen the arrow.

And now I'm going to eat it!

Playing with Cousin Payton (He's 3 months younger than Becca and they're the same size. I have one skinny minnie of a daughter!)

I have my two bottom teeth! Wanna see?
