Oliver is a human! ... I mean 3months

Ben and I joke that Oliver was not a human until he graduated from this 4th trimester. If you are wondering what I'm talking about, well, technically the human gestation period should be a year, but because human brains have evolved to be so big, baby has to come out earlier. As compared to animals who come out of their mother's belly pretty much walking, humans come a earlier requiring a lot more support to survive. Yesterday he turned 3 months so it's been one year from conception. He is definitely more aware and fun. See these videos:

As for our lives, after the possum episode with the chickens, we are now dealing with a new visitor and that one in our kitchen. A smart raccoon has figured out how to go through the 2 cat doors and eat our cat food. Even after we locked the door so the cats could only go out but not come back in, the raccoon figured out how to open the doors and visit us about 3 or 4 more times. 

Big problem when we're out of town... Ben set up a trap outside. No raccoon in sight though. He must be so smart to avoid the trap. Stay tuned...

This weekend was supposed to be pretty chilled at home, working on some projects. On Saturday at 11:30am, Ben received a text from his brother; a photo of him holding lots of fish. At 1pm we were in the car with Oliver heading out to the Bay. Pretty proud about that one considering the amount of stuff we have to think about bringing for Oliver. We're getting good as this! Anyways, the last minute trip was worth it. 8 fishermen = 54 trouts. We brought 13 home. We had a feast with friends and froze a bunch. Looking forward to enjoying more fish tacos over the winter.
