Little Miss Independent

Ok, so I got into a little trouble with my Dad this past weekend, because I was pretty stubborn. I just wanted to pull my wagon around Greenfield Village by myself, without their help! I know I'm not very fast, but I am strong and determined (Mommy likes those traits in me most days!) And yes, maybe you are right in that it isn't the best place to try out my abilities amongst 5,000 other people. But I know that I can do it Daddy! I think my wagon was the envy of all of the other Dads though - I have a pretty cool ride!

This is my good friend Katie D. My daddy and her mommy work together, and we were born two days apart. Katie is going to be a big sister just a few weeks after I am! We all went to Greenfield Village together to have fun, see the horses, and eat ice cream. Yummy! Thanks for a fun day Katie and for all of the hugs!

A beautiful wedding

We got to go to one of the most beautiful weddings ever. One of my babysitters, Sopha got married and we had a wonderful time at her wedding. I got to wear a fun, fancy dress with sparkly shoes, and my friend Sopha was a gorgeous bride.

They even had a horse at the wedding, Palestinian sword dancers, Arabic music, and yummy food. Unfortunately, we had to leave before all of the fun dancing started because I was just pooped out, but I just want my friend Sopha to know how beautiful she was and thank her for inviting us to her special day. Congratulations to Sopha & Yasser!

Here I am with my other good friend Katelin too! I miss spending time with you guys!

My big girl room

Well, the baby is almost here, so Mommy & Daddy have forced me to move into a new bedroom. At least they are letting me help paint. I was very helpful (but the kitty wasn't!). I was watching Daddy paint and everytime he stretched up, I stretched up.

Everytime he bent down, I bent down. Mommy was laughing at the two of us. Thankfully, she was still laughing when Daddy tossed the kitty in the paint tray, and Sydney ran through the house, leaving little green footprints everywhere. Daddy wasn't really laughing, but it was quite funny!

I also moved into my big girl bed and I love it! I am still sleeping through the night (most nights) and haven't fallen out of my bed yet! It seems I still am a wiggle worm at night though, because when Mommy & Daddy check on me, I'm usually all twisted around in bed. I enjoy sleeping with Sydney though...she is a good snuggler.

More safari pictures

Here I am sleeping in a big bed at the hotel. Mommy keeps telling me that I will have to start sleeping in my big bed at home soon too so the new baby can sleep in my crib. I woke up once or twice saying "wa wa" and Daddy thought I was dreaming of the water park. Silly daddy, I just wanted a drink of water!


They also had some animals at the hotel, so I got to see a wolf pup, a black leopard, three tigers, a huge snake, and two joeys (baby kanagroos!). The wolf and leopard were playing with each other having so much fun. I wanted to play with them, but Mommy didn't think they would have been as gentle as Sydney at home.

We went on a safari

So, Mommy and Daddy have both been working so much lately, that I demanded that they take some time off to spend with me before this little brother or sister comes. So, we went to Kalahari water resort for a few days and it was awesome! It is America's largest indoor water park.



Mommy keep calling me her daredevil because Daddy kept taking me up the big orange slide and sending me down by myself. She said the first time she was waiting at the bottom, she was expecting me and Daddy to come down together - but nope, it was just me giggling away. The lifeguard said that I was the youngest one who has ever ridden this big oranage slide and loved it! "Agan, agan (again, again)" is all I could said once I reached the bottom.


And the lazy river...the wave pool...everything was so fun!


Even the kiddy area was fun. "Agan, agan, wa wa, wa wa."


And for some reason, Mommy & Daddy think this picture of me is hilarious. They took it about three minutes after we pulled out of the parking lot on our way home. So I was exhausted from playing so much; I'm just a growing girl who needs a nap once in awhile! All I want to know is how soon are we going back again?!!

Just being cute

Here are some recent pictures of me being cute around the house. We've all been so busy getting ready for this new baby.

Daddy has been working on getting my new room ready, so we've been spending more time in that room, converting it from mommy and daddy's office and my play room, into my "Big Girl" room. I've recently been fascinated with birds, so mommy put a new bird feeder outside of my new bedroom window, so my buddy Sydney (my kitty) and I can watch birds together.


And here I am looking like a big girl in some of my new spring/summer wardrobe fashions. Something I am learning from Mommy is how to be a "shoe girl." Aren't these plaid shoes the best? Not quite Jimmy Choo's yet, but these are my new favorite shoes that I just have to wear everyday, no matter what clothes I have on.
