The sky is falling!

Aug 27 - This morning was noisy! I woke up around 8am to hear a lot of ruckus above my head. Today was the day we got our new roof! It wasn't too bad since they started at 6:45am and I slept through the first hour of work. I even napped through the noise a little later. The doggies, especially Apollo, took the noise a lot worse than I did. He hid the entire time the workers were here.

Mommy and I fixed the workers some ice tea and ice water, well, I watched her make it. They were done around noon. Mommy and I spent the day playing inside on the floor. I think I wore Mommy out chasing after me. I am on the go now, big time. I can get off the carpet in just a second. I am fast!

When Daddy got home I showed him how fast I am. I would crawl over to the toy bin next to the fireplace and he would pick me up and put me back in the middle of the carpet and then I would crawl back to the toy bin in just a second. Mommy could see that I wanted the toy bin so she brought it to the middle of the carpet where it was a little safer and I used it to pull myself up with a little help from Mommy. I stood up next to the toy bin for a long time, playing with my shapes on the top of the bin. I liked the way the shapes sounded on the top of the bin. Then I sat down on my butt to rest for a minute but hopped right back up to do it again, this time with NO HELP! That's right! I stood up, by myself. Mommy was right there the whole time in case my legs gave out and I fell but I stood for a long time and loved it. Mommy was so happy for me. So was Daddy.

After all that standing I was pretty tired but it was off to the farmer's market at the boardwalk to meet Aunt Lynn, Aidan, and Gavin. Aidan wanted a watermelon so they got one. We raced up and down the boardwalk and I watched everybody else eat italian ice. I had a good time but I was getting hungry and tired. So we said goodbye and headed home. Mommy and I talked the whole way, well, sort of. It was more like screaming. We got home and got changed for bed, ate and went to bed.
