Lovely Weekend

Man what a change of pace! We loved this weekend; it was nice, quiet and relaxing. We had no plans other than a quick visit to the wholesale club on Saturday and church Sunday.

At the wholesale club we found some adorable toy horses. We've seen some similar models before and considered getting Bubeaner one. It was a good thing that we let him play with one before buying it. Bubeaner hated it! And we mean, H A T E D it. He screamed so loudly he was probably heard in the parking lot. At least we are hopeful that he won't be so afraid of the real thing.

Bubeaner could not wait to get off the toy horse.

Bubeaner continues to eat. There are few things he really does not like.... currently it's his old favorites turkey and ham. Maybe he was just tired of eating them. We try feeding him, but, more often than not, he refuses food if we try to feed it to him. He wants to feed himself. The only problem is that he eats so S L O W L Y! Bubeaner is usually the first one served, and he's usually still eating while Momma starts cleaning up. But we would rather he eat everything slowly than not be a good eater.

Momma left a pair of socks within reach of Bubeaner and he tried to put them on. He grabbed the socks and then would get one foot with the other hand and touch them to each other. Of course, he is still a ways a away from actually dressing himself. It's just nice to see how much he's learning every day.

Tomorrow we have our first prenatal appointment. We are a little anxious and excited. Hopefully, tonight we will have a quieter and more restful night. For some reason, the smoke alarms in the house kept going off last night throughout the night alternating between alarms approximately every 15-20 minutes. We, mainly Dad, checked the house and attic for any possible fires but found nothing. We determined they just needed new batteries despite the fact that some had just gotten new batteries less than 2 months earlier. And when things started calming down, Bevo decided to help out. Every time he would hear the alarm beep, he would howl, which would cause another alarm in the house to beep, which would cause him to howl again and so on for quite a while. Ah, the joys of loving dogs.
