Ran back and forth between Mommy and Daddy, running and jumping into their arms and giving hugs and kisses.

Danced with Daddy while watching "Dancing With the Stars." I love to dance already!!

Went Trick-or-Treating with Mommy and Daddy. 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!

Sprinkler time

Today daddy let me play in the sprinkler two times. I also was able to turn the water faucet on and off all by myself. I am so very smart!

Slept right through my first hurricane (Hurricane Ike). The howling winds and driving rain did nothing to wake me from my baby slumber.

Went to the store with Mommy. 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.

Went to visit my Mimi for Grandparents Day! I had a wonderful time visiting with her and Auntie LeeLee, but I missed Papaw, who was away on business.

Went to Gymboree again with Mommy. 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!

Afterward we met Daddy for lunch. Then Mommy vacuumed out the car.

I 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! Yay!

Started doing something new. I've been talking to myself in a low whisper of babble. I've also started talking in sentence cadence, "Nomm nommy, mummm, mumm?" Mommy says it's really funny.

Identified myself in a picture by saying, "me!" 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!" It was the most adorable thing ever.

Played with Gavin. Auntie Gigi and Uncle Charles came over to have Chinese food and hang out with Mommy and Daddy. I was all alight with excitement and played with Gavin and colored with Auntie Gigi. I love people!

Went to Gymboree playgroup with Mommy, where we went on slides and climbed on things and rolled balls. 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. It was a busy day!

Went out to dinner with Mommy and Daddy. 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 wore my cute strawberry, seersucker summer dress and was "adorable" defined.

Visited the doctor and got shots. I was such a big girl. I only cried a teeny-tiny bit. Mom and Dad were so proud and amazed at my bravery. Now I am taking a nap.

Told the kitty to get "down!" 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!" Mommy and Daddy laughed and clapped for me.

Unscrewed the cap on a bottle of water, took a big drink of it and put the cap back on. (Then I cried because it was on again, but I am making serious progress!)

Colored with Mommy and Daddy in my Spongebob coloring book and shared my stickers with them.

Brushed my teeth with Mommy. 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.

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.

My Mommy says she can cry just thinking about how adorable and fleeting these moments are.

Mommy 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." I couldn't be any cuter.

Said a muddled version of "goodnight" when Daddy put me in my crib for bed. He said it was the cutest thing he'd ever heard.

Was reading a book with Mommy, and I kept pinching at the pictures on the pages. 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.
