Autumn is here, and it's cold!!!

It has been a while since Daddy has written in here (Grrrrr), but he finally has a little time to do this. So what's been going on with me? I guess the biggest news is that I'm walking. That's right! I'm walking now.



This does not come without its own hazards. I've learn that walking IS PAINFUL! Just as I learn a new aspect of this walking thing, (like turning around), I find myself crashing face-first onto the ground. Consequently, I have the constant look of an abused step-child.



But give me a hug, put some ice on my bump, dry my tears, and set me down cause I'm ready to start toddling about again!



So where have I been since Summer ended? Hmmm...lots of places...Mom and Dad took me to Florence, Italy.



They took me up into the mountain village of Grimentz, Switzerland with their friend Connie.





They took me to the end of a Glacier up further into the mountains...



And they took me to Lugano, Switzerland (the Italian part of Switzerland) where I really had the chance to hone my "mad walking skillz".



But they still keep me in the stroller for most of our visits. Not that I mind...we seem to move faster that way, and I don't hear the words, "Madeleine don't touch that..." as often when I'm in the stroller.
