My Sweet Little Girl

I haven't done a post just about Maddy in awhile. She turned 17 mo. at the end of August. It is crazy how the time has flown by. Sometimes I can't believe it because she is so small. Anyway here are somethings that she's been doing lately, etc.
This morning she figured out how to take her diaper cover off. Oh joy. I've also been trying to let her use a spoon and feed herself a little bit. I'm sure you can imagine the mess that's been.
She is pulling up a lot. Here she is chasing the letter Z over the side of the tub. Should I let her stand up in the tub you ask? Well...........
This was at my parents house. She loves putting things where they go. Glasses on faces, lids on jars, puzzle pieces in puzzles, etc. She still loves books and loves watching Baby Einstein videos while she's in her stander. She is starting to say a lot of words and she definitely knows what you are saying about almost everything. Here are some words she likes to say: dogs, flowers, ice (she loves eating ice and will ask for it anytime she sees anyone drinking something), kiki (kitty), ish (fish), booo (this means moo for cow), quack quack (for duck), eyes, bouf (mouth. she points to nose when you ask her but doesn't say it yet), baba (for bottle), ice (rice in this case), dada and mom. She likes giving high fives, blowing kisses, playing with the tupperware in the cabinet while mom cooks, pulling books off shelves, pulling everything out of the diaper bag, giving the dogs their treats in the morning, and she loves it when people come to the house to visit. She still isn't crawling but we keep working on it. She also likes brushing her teeth. She will try to comb her own hair and she likes putting on her shoes and taking them off, but she doesn't really like wearing shoes.
I won't go on, but just wanted to take a minute to write down some stuff she's been doing mostly so I can have it to look back at. The best thing about Maddy is that she smiles and is happy and content almost all the time.

She must talk a lot more at home than around strangers! That's a ton of words! She's definately got her own little personality!

I love her more and more every day. I sure miss her when we are separated by the long miles between Dallas and CS. She is a sweet heart.

Animal Happenings

 It looks like the last update I posted on animals was about going to the sale barn and getting cows. As a reminder we got a calf/cow pair and a "weaned" calf: Chloe, Midnight, and Mooey. Chloe and midnight are some kind of black angus mix and midnight is part Holstein. Midnight and Mooey will eventually be our meat cows. We hope to AI Chloe sometime in the near future for another calf. Midnight, her calf pictured below (much littler in the pic than he is now) is a very good looking steer. He could go to the fair if he wanted. This is a picture of him getting out of his fence and coming in the yard. He still gets out from time to time. Having a mama calf keeps both the steers in line though. They are much better about not getting crazy, unlike some other steers we could name from the past, but won't. We ended up having to feed quite a bit of hay this winter as we had snow cover from November to end of March. We got our barn built about January and began collecting more ...

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Raccoons

We've been plagued with the nasty devils this week. We accidentally left dog food on the porch one night. Fortunately, Aaron saw the raccoon sneaking a snack before he headed to bed. We chased it off but woke up to find one of our chickens had been it's victim. I have been super careful to make sure no food has been left out but the raccoon has been back. I heard a terrible confrontation in the woods on Tuesday night between a raccoon and SOMETHING in the woods. The SOMETHING whimpered as the raccoon hissed and spit. I hope that whatever the SOMETHING was it is ok. It sounded like a dog so I am wondering if it was a coyote vs. raccoon showdown. One of our cats stays out all the time and I thought at first it was her. I was out banging a bucket with a stick and yelling trying to get the raccoon to leave. Turns out the cat was on the deck cool as a cucumber. We had been letting Whiskers and kittens stay outside as well but now we go through the nightly routine of putting them in ...
