I went to Mimi and Papaw's house first and changed into my butterfly costume. Then I trick-or-treated around the neighborhood (five houses or so); then I went to Nana and Poppy's and did it all again (just a few houses there too). I was very cute -- everyone said so!Geneennoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72699344897290068.post-47129649712538669822008-10-12T21:07:00.001-05:002008-10-12T21:08:58.447-05:00Today daddy let me play in the sprinkler two times.

I am very inquisitive and wanted to see and touch everything I saw. I did lots of pointing. I really love cheddar-jack cheese and, at one point, I picked up the block of cheese that was in the cart and started gnawing through the wrapper! Mommy got me some snack-sized cheese pieces to eat in the cart instead. I am so cute.Geneennoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72699344897290068.post-39346193009929784072008-09-07T23:54:00.000-05:002008-09-09T00:55:16.111-05:00Went to visit my Mimi for Grandparents Day!

We ran and played and went down slides. We sang songs and got to go under a parachute. I was a little more hesitant this time, but I still smiled and giggled a bunch. Daddy wants to take me to Gymboree too, so Mommy signed me up for a second class: I'll be going twice a week now. Yay!<br /><br />Afterward we met Daddy for lunch. Then Mommy vacuumed out the car.Geneennoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72699344897290068.post-86817631267343802142008-09-03T23:56:00.000-05:002008-09-04T02:00:01.170-05:00I had my first swim lesson! Mommy and me. And Mr. Charles was there with Gavin. We learned about kicking and how to sit on the steps ("Criss-cross-applesauce!"). I laughed and smiled until I got dunked (part of the class!), but I got through it well. They are teaching me what to do if I ever fall in. Mommy and Daddy want me to be safe. And Snoopy and Woodstock are tiled on the bottom of the 3-foot pool!

I've been talking to myself in a low whisper of babble. I've also started talking in sentence cadence, "Nomm nommy, mummm, mumm?"

I was looking through pictures of Gavin's baptism with Mommy and Daddy. When they showed me a picture of me and asked me who it was. I pointed at myself and burst out, "Me!"

We sang songs and danced and I got my hand stamped with purple clown stamps! Then we met Daddy for lunch and went to the mall.

We met Auntie Gigi, Uncle Charles and Gavin at a Mexican restaurant, where I ate a cheese enchilada for the first time ... and rice. I loved it!

I was such a big girl. I only cried a teeny-tiny bit. Mom and Dad were so proud and amazed at my bravery.

Mommy and Daddy were telling Sarah to get off of the countertop. They kept saying, "down!" So I pointed my finger, shaking it up and down and saying emphatically, "DOWN!"

Well, Mommy helped me brush my teeth. Mommy put the brush near my mouth and I gave her a sassy smile and snapped, "No!" (This is my new favorite word, by the way.) Then later before bed, Daddy brushed my teeth again.<br /><br />I am also now talking more in my own way. I went to my high chair when I was hungry. I say "pop-pop" when I want a popsicle and nod my head and smile when I am asked if I want a pickle. I feign being scared when Mommy and Daddy ask me if I want to "listen to birds" (the bird book we have that has pictures and plays the calls of the birds of the world). I pull on my towel or point to it when I want to get out of the tub. I know how to "step out" of my swimsuit and pants. I can undo my own diaper (Mommy doesn't care for this new skill all that much). I can run and giggle and sing and kick a beach ball. I love to swim and explore and sit down and read my books.<br /><br />My Mommy says she can cry just thinking about how adorable and fleeting these moments are.Geneennoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72699344897290068.post-86486764458409828962008-07-01T18:30:00.001-05:002008-07-01T18:31:35.902-05:00Mommy asked me if I could read my Bible to my baby doll. I sat down on the floor, put the baby in my lap and flipped through the pages of my copy of "Baby's First Bible."

Mommy had no idea what I was doing until she remembered I have a sticker book that I like to pull stickers from. I was trying to pull the pictures off the pages thinking they were stickers. I am so cute it hurts.Geneennoreply@blogger.com0
