Birthday party!

Dani had a great birthday party. We visited with family, and had yummy food, cake and brownies. Dani had a homemade carrot cake with whip cream and cream cheese frosting. She enjoyed opening her presents and playing with her new toys! Thanks everyone for helping out!!!

Almost one year old!

I CANNOT believe how fast time flies!! My baby is almost one!! We have had such a great time with her. She is so fun to hang out with, and just lights up the room when she enters it. She is actually using some signs now, like 'soft", "more" "ouch or hurt" "milk" "all done" and "toilet". She answered the phone and brought it to me yesterday. She walks all over the place. She eats people food. Its crazy! She has her birthday part next week, and her one year checkup at a new doctors office. Wow!

Chickens and other new stuff

The chicks have arrived! We have Rose and Donna, a Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island Red cross ( any Dr. Who fans out there recognize their namesakes?)and Dolly, an Aracuana who is named after Dolly Parton because of her beautiful blonde feathers. Dolly is the most docile, and Donna is the fiestiest, she has even challenged one of the cats already. I think they are about 3 weeks old, not sure though. I am going to keep them inside until the temps outside are around 70. So hopefully not too long and they can go out in their coop during the day. Dani loves them!! She petted them yesterday, looked up and signed "soft". How cute! Tuffy is driven mad by them, I hope he can get over it soon.
