Bad, Bad Autumn.

Sean Jordan, sometimes your daughter amazes me. Just completely blows my mind. Just when I do not think there is anything left she can do to shock me, she figures something else out. For example,

Photobucket
Climbing the sofa and getting into the window. She has really been practicing her climbing skills as of late. It is kind of scary what she can do with her upper body strength and all that curiosity. She has tried several times to climb over the baby gate and nearly made it the other day.

Beating the window.
Autumn really enjoys the outdoors and I guess she will get it anyway she can. She finally worked herself into this position:

Standing in the window
Shortly after I took this photo, Autumn took a step back and slipped down between the sofa and the window sill. It made my heart hurt for a moment, but she stopped at her hip/belly area. I had to lift her out of that and she cried because she wanted to be back in the window. Wish we had lower windows that she could sit in.

This afternoon at nap time she took one of my CD's to bed with her. It was Alan Jackson. I should have taken a photo of that, but it gave me an idea for the count photo. Before I get to that though, not much else going on today. I love you and miss you.

Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

Day 12

PS. Some of those albums we have are embarrassing, but Autumn really enjoys walking around with the Rob Zombie one. Thought you might like to know.

Does she not mind the cold? I can't imagine what it must feel like outside, there. I love cold weather, but I can't say I've ever been anywhere colder than NY in November.

Autumn does not even notice the cold. I guess it is partly because this is the only weather she has ever known. We have been taking her out in it since she was one week old. It is only bitterly cold for a few weeks. Most of the time we are at 20 degrees or above. I would kill for some Florida weather though!!

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
