November visit

Bubbe and Papa came to visit me this weekend. It has been a few months since they've seen me, so I got to surprise them with all the new things I can do. Mom and Dad took advantage of the free baby-sitting opportunity by working out in the yard all weekend to prepare a place for the sandbox that Bubbe and Papa gave me for my birthday. That left me a lot of time to play with Bubbe and Papa. They read to me, chased me around, and I got to show them my new big boy room that I'll be moving into sometime in the next few months.

They also brought me some fun clothes, including another cute Halloween costume, and some new books and toys. I am excited about all my fun new loot.

On Saturday morning, Mom and Dad took a break from the yard work and we all went to go see our farmer Miguel. Miguel had lots of good food for us, and it is nice to walk now that the weather has cooled off a little. After we got home, I took a nap and ate some lunch, then Bubbe and Papa took me outside to my swing so we could all watch Mom and Dad work. It was the best weather I've ever seen here. The weekend went by really fast. It sure was a fun visit. I can't wait to see them again.

After Bubbe and Papa left this afternoon, I surprised Mom and Dad with some new moves. I started really using my alligator walking toy and taking a few steps here and there on my own a couple weeks ago, but this past week I really started taking some major steps forward. Dad says it's a giant leap for mankind. Anyway, I made them happy by walking more this afternoon and then really shocked them by climbing up on my big boy bed all by myself! They say it's exciting and scary all at the same time. I don't know what they're talking about - I just think it's fun.
