Check out my new ride!


Hi all! I got some new wheels yesterday. Thought you might like to see. I am not feeling so well today, so I look a little groggy in the picture. I can't wait to take it out in the backyard tonight.

By the way- like my awesome outfit? I picked it out of my closet myself. I have been asking for weeks, and mommy finally put it on today. She said it is not the right season, but let me do it today anyway. Who Dey!

Sorry the picture isn't the best. Mommy got a new "easy-to-use" camera yesterday (big thanks to daddy) so she doesn't have to haul around lots of stuff to take my picture. I'm letting her play for a few days until I show her how to do it right. I think she'll get it soon.

Later Gators!

Boy do I have LOTS to tell you! I have been oh so busy now that the weather is nice. Mommy and I have been doing lots of landscaping and gardening. We are only about half done- if that- so we will take lots of new pictures when things are pretty and done.

I am growing so so fast. At my doctor's appointment last month I weighed 25 pounds 10 ounces, and I was 33 and a half inches tall. That means I am in the 70 and 90th percentiles (whatever that means). Mommy tells me I am growing too fast, but I think it is great.

I am getting so tall that I am too small for my crib. Mommy told me that at 35" I couldn't sleep in it anymore, so I get a big girls bed. I am so ready for it that I am going to be getting it early! Mommy, daddy and I went shopping and I got to pick out my own sheets and blankets. It was a lot of fun. Tonight we are having a big girl party, where we will all set up the bed and I get to sleep in it for the first time!! I think mommy and daddy are a bit nervous, but I know I can do it.

I am big enough to go potty, too. I have been playing around and trying for a few weeks now, but I have gone 3 times in 2 weeks!! I get really excited when I go on the potty, and then mommy lets me wear my new Princess Panties. It is really cool.

Oh, and I am also big enough for a bike- a real bike! Its a Fischer Price 10-inch bike complete with training wheels. I am just a little bit short for the full pedal motion, but it won't be long at all. Until then mommy and I are working on steering and balancing. I love to ride, and my favorite part is my awesome purple helmet. When I came in the other day, I kept it on my head just for fun.

I have really been learning too. I know all the signs and words in my sign language video. I can tell you a lot of animal sounds too. It is still difficult to get my words to come out right, but I am trying really hard. I am working on other stuff too, like puzzles and colors. (By the way- I have "blue" down pat.)

Well, its nap time and mommy has lots to do. I better go sleep so she can do some stuff. I will be taking pictures at my big girl bed party tonight, so check back later.
