Do what I have to do, I guess
Mike thinks I'm crazy (what's new??) but I've been putting a winter hat on Autumn to feed her in the mornings. Hey, it makes sense! She's feeding herself her oatmeal and it can get a little messy. As part of breakfast, Autumn also gets fruit and a granola bar that she insists on dipping in my morning cuppa tea because she sees me do it sometimes...now that can get messy. She just forgets that she has hair or something, gets excited, and then smears oatmeal, fruit, and granola all in her hair. I got tired of keeping a fine toothed comb in the kitchen and combing the crud out of her hair before it dries there!

Good Times
Look what Mike got me for my birthday:
Nah, I'm just kidding. He really got me this (although he did get me the thermometer just not as a birfday gift). And before people start emailing him and chastising him (yes, this has happened), I did ask for it. Well, I also asked for flowers and copious amounts of chocolate but I will forgive because GUESS WHAT? Mike left the house to go to the zoo.
::faints::
Yes, my friends, Mike ventured forth into the sun just because I asked him to. And, because there were:
GOATS! lol...goats are kind of one of his things. Autumn didn't like them quite so much.
But that's okay cause it makes for a cute photo. We also got a family photo.
If you look closely, you can see my hand and shoe and Autumn's body. We set up our camera to take the photo on a timer and just as it flashed, this kid pounced in front of us and prepared to jump in the hole...but WE WERE THERE. So it didn't go so well.
That area was pretty neat though, we got to see a sea lion play. Three of them, actually. They were all very social and cute. Speaking of social and cute, we didn't get to see the otters. T_T I was sad.
We finally did get a good photo. A zoo employee saw me setting up my camera and offered to take this:
I am slightly embarrassed that Mike and I matched that day. It was purely unintentional.
Anyway, it was fun and THANK YOU MIKE for taking us.

The Mommy Curse
Autumn doesn't talk much. Real talking, I mean. This is her entire repertoire of real (or just recognizable) words:
Heyyy/Heyyo
Wassat?? (whispered)
UH-ooooh
Mowwy
Meow
Arf
She does, however, jabber all. day. long. I'm guessing it is cosmic revenge for the talkative child I was (am). Here's another day in the life of autumn.

Birthdays and other stuffs
September is a big birthday month. Today is Nanny's and tomorrow is Ryan's. Later this month, my sister Valerie and I turn one year older. Crazy stuff!
Look what I made nanny. It's a pincushion!
And, while I am talking about Nanny, she, Boppa and my grandmother have been teaching me how to garden. I didn't kill much this year! haha...as a matter of fact, look at this:
Not bad! It looks even prettier today because the roses have bloomed some more. I am improving...last year I killed everything in that box but some phlox.
Oh, and tomorrow we are having a garage sale along with a couple other families. If you want, come buy stuff or just come visit! You can see miss monkey doing stuff like this:
WEARING HER MONKEY BACKPACK AND DRINKING SOME STARBUCKS GREEN TEA FRAP.

You can go home now, Murphy.
So, guess what? I was driving home from kali when some dude's freaking exhaust pipe fell off his car. I couldn't miss it because of cars around me. After I realized that something was wrong, I got off the interstate, made it to a gas station and this is what I saw:
I had forgotten to leave the carseat with Mike but fortunately Donnie was nearby and was able to help me out. Plus it was dark and I was glad to have someone I knew because I just didn't feel like getting robbed or something. :/
So, now I have a donut on the car and a tire with about 6 holes in it in the trunk.

An exciting morning so far...
So yeah, fun morning today. When I woke up and went to get Autumn for her diaper change I went in and found her like this (you can see more pics of her after clicking on this one):
How did this happen, you ask? Well I had told her the night before to stop throwing her food on the floor and she just wouldn't listen. So I had to smack some...
No no. Apparently she got bitten by a mosquito right on her eyelid while we were outside in the yard late yesterday afternoon. But the doctor is pretty sure she's going to be just fine after a little benadryl and some hydrocortizone cream. Thankfully it hasn't been hurting her or anything as she's been acting perfectly normal all day so far.
But man, it was just about the most pitiful thing I've seen in quite some time. Poor little quasimodo...

Grodiness
Apparently Autumn has been watching her Aunt Lauren or Uncle Ryan eating sometime recently because she seems to be following in their footsteps as far as table manners go...
I would advise you to not listen to the horrible sounds too loudly if you're about to eat.
