Trip to South Dakota

We went out to South Dakota this weekend to visit my friend Jacob! He was born about 5 weeks after me, but we are about the same size! Our daddies are buddies from college and love to hunt together in the fall, so no doubt Jacob and I will have to tag along in a couple years. Jacob's has a sister Grace and a brother Caden too.

I have been liking the food thing just a little more now too since mommy and daddy have tried sweet potatoes. I just don't care for that rice cereal much. Sweet potatoes are a lot messier too which I like!

Weekend at the Farm

Got to spend the weekend at the farm again. It was very windy so I wore this bandana on my head...an old trick Gma used to do with mommy when she was a baby. I was outside for a while in my walker. I still love watching Sogn move around me...it always makes me laugh. I am trying to get better at petting him too. Sometimes I grab his fur too much and he doesn't like that much!

Gpa Don was working on the combine in this photo. He got out in the field and started harvesting beans too. Daddy and uncle Josh helped out hauling loads (in between hunting of course).

Bath Time

I got to stay at the farm with Gma Deb today!!! Mommy, daddy and I stayed over night last night and they both went to work today. I got to go in the stroller and hang out in the barn with the cows. I was a really good boy and took a couple good naps, ate some oatmeal cereal and had some formula.

Aunt Lindsay and Wyatt came later in the day and we got to hang out too. Daddy came to get me after school and we road home with Sogn.

After going for walk, mommy thought I still smelled like the barn so I got a bath. I love the bath and playing with my rubber ducky!!

First Football Game

Here I am at my first football game!! It would have been a really good time if I could have seen out of my snowsuit! Once I got all bundled up and warm, it was just so hard to stay awake. We watched Uncle Kevin's Mayo team whoop up on Faribault 40-20. They started a bit slow, but got it going late.

It was a gorgeous weekend. We stayed at Gma & Gpa Addington's and had lots of fun. Daddy and Gpa did a little bowhunting and I stayed with Gma and just kept rolling over ! I can kind of spin around a little bit too. Not too long and you won't be able to look away from me!

We also went to my cousin Wyatt's baptism at Grace Lutheran in Goodhue on Sunday. I tried talking to him while he was up in front of the church. He was crying and I was just trying to console him! He and I will be quite a pair in a couple years.

Back at the Fair

Well I sure haven't had too much time to be on here writing in my blog. Seems like a lot has happened in the past week or so.

We spent a fair amount of time at the Fair (that was a joke) and now we are all exhausted. Daddy was really busy with the photos, mommy helped him a lot and worked hard in the FFA Leadership Center and I pretty much went back and forth between the two! I stayed home one day with Aunt Kecia too. We saw lots of friends and family who stopped by to visit. Steve and Debbie Sviggum took me on Monday for quite a long walk. Along the way, I joined Steve for a radio interview on WCCO with Don Shelby. Don held me and talked for a little bit. He is a really nice guy and someday I will see him a lot on TV.

As you can see in my photo, we tried rice cereal for the first time tonight. I wasn't quite sure what to do with that stuff in my mouth. So I kind of pushed it back out with my tongue, rubbed it on my hands and then wiped it on my eyes, face, ears and hair. I think at some point I will like it, but not quite full-time yet.

Another thing that I am doing a lot now that we are home is talking to my puppy, Sogn. I seem to stare, smile and squeal at him everytime he is near me. He is a lot more friendly with me now too. He is excited that we are home since he spent the week with Gma and Gpa Addington...that equals getting up at 5:30AM and a walk about every hour. He was spoiled!
