The baby was very sleepy this morning and it took some efforts to rouse her from her sleep. Every time I woke her up, she would collapse back down and curl up into a little ball. However, when she finally realized that we were going to wake up -- i.e. when I got out of bed and started to move around -- she hopped off of the bed, stood by the door, and looked at me as if to say "what are you waiting for?"
Once she emerged the baby and I played a short game of fetch before digging into a bowl of chickum and kibbles. Afterwards she pranced about a bit trying to get me to play some more, but I was somewhat resistant because she hadn't done her morning sinkle. For this reason I proceeded to ignore her and set about to make myself some breaky. Sure enough, as soon as she saw that my attention was elsewhere the baby ran into the b-room and where she sinkled and yumped. Very good girl. She was rewarded with a vigorous game of fetch.
I think her general sleepiness must've carried on through to the afternoon, because what did I find when I returned home but a little baby who was sitting on the couch looking at amazement that I was home again. Since the weather was about to turn into something nasty and wet, I quickly got the baby outfitted for a stroll and we headed out the door. I had anticipated that we'd probably have to shorten our usual walk since the sky was becoming ever more menacing by the minute, but I didn't realize just how quickly the weather would turn against us. Nonetheless, the baby and I managed to make it this far before the wind got a bit too crazy and I had to carry the baby while walking swiftly home. The baby had been somewhat frightened by the change in weather because all of a sudden the wind was howling, people were running, leaves were flying and the day turned very dark. I think she thought something was chasing her.
Luckily the wind quieted down somewhat, and the baby managed to walk the last block and a half home. Though I think she thought that something was chasing her still because she pretty much ran the entire way home. I'd never seen her move so quickly -- she didn't even mind the dogs we ran past on the way home!
