The day after we sell calves is always a little sad for me.  Not because the calves are gone, but because the momma cows are here searching for their babies.  The corrals are right by our house and all day yesterday and today they paced in and out of the corrals bawling for their babies.  I empathize with them and can't imagine how they feel walking around and looking for their baby.  I know they are just cows, but it makes me a little sad.

Saige has had a fever for 3 days.  We have been giving her tylenol if it gets too high.  It isn't presenting as her typical infection so we are unsure what she has.  She is not complaining of any pain and is her happy, quirky self.

Jaide is 9 months old today.  She is eating what everyone else eats now.  I haven't been feeding her hardly any baby food.  She hasn't been napping very well lately.  I will get her to sleep then when I try to lay her in her crib she wakes up and is wide awake.  By the time the other 4 were this old I was laying them down awake and letting them fall asleep on their own, but I'm having a hard time doing that with her.  I did it out of necessity for them, but once I do that will Jaide, I will never ever have a baby to rock to sleep again.  She isn't sleeping through the night yet, but that doesn't really bother me.  She is still sleeping by me at night.  Again, I'm having a hard time leaving her in her crib all night.  I sometimes put her there to start with, but when she wakes up fussing I put her by me.  She loves to play with the other kids and they love her.  I love to watch them all interact.  I have been trying to take a few more videos with my camera because I know I will really miss these days.  I am so blessed.
