Leaves

Tuesday afternoon walk

Headed out for and afternoon walk with The Pudy. Since she refused to take her nap (note previous post with her and her pear)I decided we'd head out and get a little fresh air and enjoy the leaves. You can tell she is pretty tired.


A couple blocks from the house, underneath a bench next to the bike path we came across Maya's stray cat friend. This nameless vagrant cat is always hanging around the house and hunting for squirels in the backyard. We don't know his name and haven't given him one because - well, quite frankly we're not that attached to him - but The Pudy was pretty excited to see him again!




After about thirty minutes of walking The Pudy drifted off to sleep. I like this picture because right before I snapped it that leaf fell and landed right on her lap.


We walked to the bus stop and waited for Maya to get dropped off. I was worried all the commotion with the bus would wake her but that wasn't the case.

After returning home I put her on our bed and she slept for about another two hours.

Tired but wont sleep

This is Annah refusing to take her nap and making a mess with a pear. Usually around nap time she pulls her hair tie off and looks for any other kind of distraction to deflect attention away from her not taking her nap. It is a never ending daily contest of wills.

Coffee Burn

This morning Annah pulled Zaheeda's coffee off the table and burned her leg. She's okay but she really did scream. It seems regardless how hard we try we cannot make this place Annah safe because she is into everything.

Annah's nightly routine

The girls' Grandpa bought a night vision, motion activated camera to take pictures and shoot video of deer, bears and anything else that happens to wander around rural Wisconsin. In order to test the camera out I set it up in Annah's crib to see exactly how much she moves around during the night. By the next day it had recorded 46 videos - meaning she moved around at least that many times during the night - she's very active, even in her sleep. Here are some of the clips:

9:28PM - Zaheeda puts her down.


10:01PM - She's sound asleep


6:36AM the next day - She wakes up and starts screaming.


6:37AM - Zaheeda gives her a bottle and tries putting her back down.


6:38AM - Annah doesn't want to go back down and attacks the camera.

Back in the Stroller

Annah getting antsy in the stroller. She likes to go for walks but feels she needs to be occupied and entertained the entire time. Now that it's fall she enjoys finding fancy leaves. She becoming more and more like Maya every day.
