Taking in all those little moments

Life is busy and we are having fun savoring all those little moments. Sula is a delight to hang out with right now, her vocabulary is expanding everyday. Today she said "wow" all day long. And when we were at the zoo this afternoon she said "fish". One of her favorite words is "Dude!" We are planning on taking more videos soon.

Unlike her mama, Sula was born with rhythm.

One of her favorite activities is playing percussion instruments with her papa.

Meet Fozzy Bear, he sleeps in Sula's crib most nights. I bought this bear from the Minnesota Alpaca Association booth at the Minnesota State Fair. It is made with 100% alpaca wool and is very soft and cuddly.

She loves to climb on anything.

She recently discovered the radio/alarm clock in her room and now enjoys pushing all the buttons.


Bubbles!

The weather has been very mild this November. Sula loves to go outside and play in our backyard. I have been teaching her what fun it is to play in mama's garden.

Finally, some warm weather and sunshine


The weather these past few months has been strange and unpredictable. September was dry and hot. Then October was cold and wet, with temperatures well below normal. Definitely not optimal for enjoying fall color or raking leaves. The weather roller coaster continues into November, with temperatures today above normal (yey 60s). No complaints here, I hope this is a sign that we are in for a long Indian Summer.

Around lunch time we went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum to enjoy the sunshine. Later we worked hard at raking all the leaves in the front yard. It was just a lovely fall day.

Sula was a kitty cat for Halloween. She did a fantastic job helping mama hand out candy.
