Life

Life marches on....so I'm trying to keep up. Here's Viv ready to go watch the Iowa vs. Iowa State game (which we won by the way....yay!)


Ruby and Viv watching Wrigley on the deck. It's only been a little over a week since Ruby passed and we miss her a lot. Wrigley hasn't seemed to affected by her absence. He still rushes back inside to make sure there is no left over food. He doesn't seem to be getting up as early in the morning but I don't know if it's because the sunrise is later or if it's truly because she's gone. 


Napping...


She is obsessed with the door to the playroom. She loves to climb the two stairs and go into the bathroom. I tried to put up a 'barrier' to dissuade her from climbing the stairs....and you can see how well it worked for me. She's a little bulldozer. She rams her head into things and pushes until you or the object moves out of her way. She gets really mad when a piece of furniture or a door doesn't move. In regards to my 'barrier', she figured out how to climb under and through the bouncy seat. When the door is closed to the playroom I have to extract her from the stairs multiple times because she climbs the stairs and gets stuck at the top. She can't figure out how to back up and climb down off the stairs. 



Trying avocado. She still won't feed herself anything other than puffs and yogurt melts.


Viv has discovered the toilet paper roll in our bathroom. 



And discovered Nathan's credit card...


We tried two pony tails...they looked like little antennas. 


Her coveted chapstick. I took a hilarious video of her melting down after dropping the chapstick on the floor when she was sitting on my lap. 


We've been trying to take advantage of the beautiful weather we've had lately. We met Nathan and Gma Deb at the park for lunch one day. 


We tried swinging....she didn't really seem into it. 


We are in a full fall mindset these days....her Halloween outfit that Gma Julie got her. 


We visited a pumpkin patch in Monticello a couple of weeks ago. They had lots to do and we are looking forward to taking advantage of the activities in the next couple of years. 


The corn maze....




We visited Papa Mark in the combine as they were harvesting beans. Viv took a ride and promptly fell asleep. 


Back at home she was totally engrossed in her own home videos. 


More scottie clothes....I'm surprised how many children's clothes have scotties on them and I can't resist purchasing every outfit that I come across! (Although this one was a gift from Aunt Bridget and Uncle Nick). 



Nathan carved his pumpkin last night...I forgot to take a picture of the final product. He carved a pretty cool cat face into the front of the pumpkin.
