All Clear!

We had Cady's follow up appointment on Friday, and she got the "all clear" from the doctor. Her ears look great. That last antibiotic must have done the trick, thank goodness!

Cady's new bag...

We picked up this little elephant rolling backback this weekend. She LOVES rolling it around. We put some books and her pink bird in it last night.

Very cute on a very ugly couch...

So, when we moved to the cottage on the Christmas tree farm, we didn't have any furniture. We had stayed at Mary Dean's place for a month, and then at the Residence Inn for a month, there was no need for furniture. Now, since the company is going to pay to move all of our stuff up, we figured it didn't make sense to go back to LA just to pick up a couch. We went to the Salvation Army instead. We don't think this couch was ever really used. It's in fantastic, like-new condition (new from 1980 something). It also has a hide-a-bed, which is great when we have visitors, since our cottage is only one bedroom. We also picked up a couple of dressers, one of which is really cool, probably from the 1950s. It will be getting a makeover later, and will go with us to the new house, probably in Cady's room. But enough about the ugly couch you're going to be seeing in the photos (we are looking for a slipcover).

Cady fell asleep on the couch last night and Chico jumped up about 5 minutes later to be by her. He likes her a lot when she's sleeping. He likes her a little, when she's awake. Sometimes, he doesn't like her at all and snarles at her. That's usually when she's coming at him full speed ahead with something that makes noise or poses some sort of physical threat to him. It's understandable since she's bigger than him now.

Cady at 1 Year & 1 Month

The 7th of another month has passed, Cady's officially 13 months old! Here she is on the 7th of June. We had just come back from looking at some more houses, just in case the one we're trying to get through the short sale process doesn't happen. Cady's done with her first ear infection, and is back to her normal, happy, active and talkative self. Her appetite is back too!

This is her tunnel & tent combo. She loves crawling through the tunnel and watching Chico go through the tunnel. We got this when Grandpop was still in town at an "End of the World" yard sale down the street. I also got a great pair of cowboy boots.

This is her new, really, really, big book of animals. She enjoys opening and closing it, and turning the big pages. She also likes the purple necklace you see in the book with her. She puts it on, takes it off and makes noise with it on the floor or the door.
