Pre-pumpkin picking pictures
I'm sure in the next few weeks we will be visiting an orchard to pick some apples and pumpkins. And with that, daddy will be taking some better quality photos of Miss Heidi. In the mean time, enjoy these not so good quality ones from my cell phone.

Random Picture
Heidi loves to play with her shopping cart. If we are ever missing anything we always check it first.
Ish the Fish
Heidi's pet Betta Fish that hangs out on a shelf in her room. ISH! ISH! ISH!! She loves seeing him in the morning and before bedtime.

New things...........
*Heidi got a new pet today. She got a red and blue crowntail betta fish. He lives in her room and is currently waiting for a name besides, "ISH!! ISH!! ISH!!"
*We have started potty training. I have been slowly introducing her to the potty. It has been out for weeks now. She's been sitting on it, hiding things in the potty part of it and using it as a step stool. But just this past weekend it was; diaper off, sit and potty. Just before bath time, while the water is running, was when I was hoping that the sounds would invoke a little pee pee action. Not yet, we're just starting, so I will keep you informed on "Potty Watch 2010".
*She recently started sleeping with a big girl pillow. So far, so good. I think she enjoys it.
*She got a new push lawnmower. Mommy quickly regretted the decision to get that. It's loud, it plays music, it roars like a real lawnmower, but all of that doesn't matter because she loves it!!
*Her new word that she loves to yell out is "MAMA!"
*We start swimming lessons on Sunday. It's through the community at one of the local middle schools. I know she will do great since she loved the pool up north.
*We went to a little Mnpls bookstore called The Wild Rumpus. It's this neat little nook that has all sorts of animals (chickens, cats, chincillas, ferrets, tarantulas, birds) and story time. She loved it! She was right in the middle of everyone during story time. She doesn't sit still (yet!) so I figured, "what the heck, let her check things out". We picked up a new book that day called, "Children make terrible pets".

Vacation!!!
We went to Orr, Mn for vacation the first week of August. We stayed at the Aspen resort on beautiful Pelican Lake. We had awesome weather, minus a few days of rain.
Here we are getting our picture taken with Billy the Blue Gill.
Heidi did pretty well with her life jacket, considering it was the first time she had it on. Those things are pretty snug.
Swimming in the pool and loving it!!! She had so much fun swimming. We don't have easy access to a pool at home, so we took advantage of the pool at the lodge almost everyday.
With some help from Grandma, she would jump to mommy's arms off the side of the pool.
We got her this neat floaty raft. It's for little ones to help make the intro to water easy. But most the time she didn't use it, she liked hanging on to mommy and daddy much better. She even went under water, briefly, and seemed OK with it.
The resort ducks are pretty brave. They came right over to our deck, seeing that we were throwing them bread to eat and all. I think that made it was easier for them to trust us. Heidi loved to watch them eat.
Heidi loved chasing the ducks. By day 2 of our trip, she was quaking right along with them.
Tuesday was "Frost fish cookies at the Lodge". So we went and had a good time. Heidi didn't eat her cookie, daddy did. She was having too much fun tickling the girl at the next table.
One of Heidi's new words or phrases is "Wee wee". Which to her means, swinging!! This was an activity Heidi did A LOT on vacation. Swing, swing, swing!!
Anything goes on vacation right? Eating out on the deck.....why not!! She thought that was the coolest. Heck, it was easier to clean up. She had fun watching everything go on outside while chomping away on chili mac!
