Our very own fire engine!

Jace
We had a few nice days that we played outside. On Saturday, daddy went to the neighbor's house to help with some more tree cutting. When he came home he told me that the neighbor gave us his 1970s fire engine, It is a big big one! That afternoon we went to daddy's friend's house for a bonfire and potluck. They had a big play structure, a zip line, and lots of fun toys to play with. I even chased some of their chickens. Daddy roasted me a hot dog and it was yummy. My tummy hurt so I didn't eat my marshmallow. On Sunday, we made some crafts and after nap, we headed to grandma's house to spend the night because mama had to work on Monday. We played outside again on Tuesday, and I spent Wednesday morning with daddy while mama and Bella ran errands. That afternoon we went to meet the new neighbor's that are renting there. I helped mama make cookies to take to them. There is a boy named Stiles that lives there. He is 8 years old and he has his own motorcycle. I liked watching him jump and do tricks. Then daddy took us to see our very own fire engine! He started it and I sat in the captain's seat while we drove it around. He even let me pull the air horn, it was so cool. Stiles followed us home to see where we lived, and showed me a few tricks to try on my bike. I helped daddy fill the wood box for mama because daddy was going hunting with papa to get a big elk. It was raining all day so we stayed inside the rest of the day. Mama got a new toy out for Bella that used to be mine, and we are having fun playing with it. I have been a big helper to mama since daddy is gone, I like to help cook, do laundry and unload the silverware out of the dish washer. Stiles came by again today, he got a brand new bike. He was showing me how to jump and go really fast. We had a lot of fun outside until it got cold and started to get dark. After dinner, I helped mama give Bella a bath and had lots of fun making her laugh at me. I love her so much!

I have been very good for mama this last week, sleeping and eating well. So far, I love baby cereal, baby oatmeal and sweet potatoes. I dislike avocados, carrots and peas, they mostly make me gag. I enjoyed watching the bonfire and being outside on Saturday. I fell asleep watching the fire, it was warm and relaxing. I now can roll all of the way across the room wherever I want to go. I was a happy baby for grandma, and fell asleep on her chest before mama came to get me. I love watching Jace jump and run around, he makes me laugh all the time. The new toy mama got out is fun, but I can't quite touch the floor so she has to put a pillow under there for me.
