Where in the world to begin???

It has been forever (9 months and 4 days to be exact) that I have been away from the computer! Here are my excuses:
1. I have learned to walk and I have been busy refining my skill.
2. Mommy calls me a toddler now and so I have been busy acting like one...(more on that later!)
3. I was really busy playing with all my friends in Virginia because I wanted to spend as much time with them as possible before Daddy and Mommy picked me up and moved me across the country.
4. Daddy and Mommy packed away the computer (along with everything else from my house).
5. I did move across the country to San Antonio, Texas. We moved in on Oct. 31, 2007.
6. I have been busy making new friends in San Antonio... a.k.a. Tanner, Andrew, Matthew, Ben...notice something??? ALL BOYS!!! I am still searching far and wide for some girlfriends!

Excuses aside...I am back and ready to keep you up to date on all my latest happenings! But before I move on, let me think back and let you know about some of the many things I have been up to:
* I am making some new friends...the ones listed above and Ben Lewis, Annabelle Martin, and many at Spectrum Gym.
*I love seeing school buses, tractors, dirt, big trucks, and trains.
*I am not a big fan of the pool.
*I am a big fan of Baby Jesus--I find pictures of Him in my Bible and I even have a toy Baby Jesus from a Nativity Scene!
*I love to use my Color Wonder markers and crayons. I also like Playdoh!
*I went back to visit friends in VA! I stayed in a hotel with mommy and daddy and we had so much fun! I loved seeing Mackenzie, Caleb, Wesley, Stella, and Clara.
*I went to the beach for the first time! On May 23, 2008 I flew to Tampa and then drove to Boca Grande. I got to see Will and Mark Meister and Abigail, Kimmy, and Mikey Fisher! I was not too fond of the beach..."NO WATER!" is what I said about 150 times.
*I like to eat breakfast in front of the TV...watching my favorite movies...BOZ and Elmo. I am finally over Baby Einstein.
*I love to stay with my babysitter, Mykah McCubbin.
*I like to pretend. I like to pretend babies are crying and I hug them or give them a bottle to make them feel better. I also like to read my babies books and put them "night-night" in my bed.
*I went through a phase when I like to line things up...babies, monkeys, etc.*I still love my "Bu-Bu". Mommy and daddy call it "blankie."
*My favorite foods are hummus, pickles, hot dogs, ice cream, fries, rice and beans, queso, and Gerber fruit treats.
*I saw the Texas bluebonnets for the first time.
*I went to Gymboree and learned many new tricks!
*Mommy and daddy took me to the library for the first time to check out books.
*I stayed with Gigi and Grandpa for 5 days when mommy and daddy went to Mexico. I was a really good girl for them.
*I have become a huge Aggie fan! "Aggies, Aggies!!!"
*I have a new cousin!!! Baby Roo is his name. I have a hard time pronouncing "Drew." He was born on Feb. 13, 2008.
*I have learned a little about Elmo and Dora.
*I love to swing and slide at the park.
*I really like working puzzles right now.
*I love seeing the animals at the zoo! And some of the silly things I say:
"Love you much!"
"Mommy come...out bed...daddy work...Emmy wake...out bed!"
"Daddy home soon!"
"Whole bag!" (I don't want just one rice cake!)
"One bite!" (Picture me with my hand above my head with one finger up.)
"Park, slide!"It's hard to think of all the fun things I should include as I think back over the last 9 months. I sure have grown up. My hair has gotten so long and it is still curly. Mommy likes to put it in a Pebbles style pony tail or little pigtails. I weigh about 29 pounds and I will have to get back with you on my height. I am learning how to be good friend...mommy and daddy are teaching me how to share toys and take turns. Oh, and I love my Bibles. I have two...a big one and a small one. Mommy and daddy think it is precious when they find me in my glider in my room reading my Bible to my stuffed animals or babies. I have learned my colors...orange, green, purple, yellow, red, blue, pink, and white. I've learned my animals and the sounds they make too... Daddy's even taught me how to make an elephant sound! I also know how to count to 10...and I can count 5-7 objects pretty well. I also am learning my ABC's. My days are busy and I am changing every day! That's all for now. I may think of more to add...check back!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Image
Can you believe that I'm one year old? I really can't--this year has really flown by! I'm sorry it's been longer than a week since my last post--I've just been so busy planning my birthday party, which is this Saturday at Potomack Lakes Sportsplex Playground. My mama's been working her tail off too, getting everything ready and organized! Today was wonderful (except for about an hour and a half right in the middle--more on that later)! I woke up this morning and Dada was still here--I woke up to him and Mama singing Happy Birthday to me! After that, Mama and I hung out and Dada went to work. We had a really fun morning--I lotioned my skin and brushed my hair, had breakfast and a bottle, and played. After that, I took a nice, long two-hour nap. So relaxing! Then the not-so-fun part of my day started. Mama loaded me up in the car and drove me to Dr. Fischelberg's office. Dada met us there, so I knew this was not going to be fun (if it was going to be a quick t...

Trip to the big "D"

Image
Well, I am back from Dallas. I had a really good time seeing all my family! Mama and Dada kept me really busy! On the flight to Dallas, I was proud of myself...I did really well for being a kid who likes to crawl and move a lot! Dada walked me up and down the aisles and I made a few friends while I was at it! All kinds of people think I am pretty cute and I have to agree with them! When I got to Grammy's house on Thursday, I thought I had died and gone to heaven! There was so much floor to crawl on!!! Even though it was hardwood, I surprised everyone as I went in circles around the kitchen and through the bedrooms. I found I new game I really like...I find something with a smooth bottom and while I am on my knees, I push it around on floor (like I did with the laundry basket!). Very fun game! Oh...and I loved seeing Maggie...aka "baaboo". (That's what I call puppies right now!) We were good playmates for the weekend. I also went swimming! I really was a great swimmer ...

More Broccoli Please!!

Image
Tonight was such a big night...I just had to write to tell everyone about it! After I finished my dinner of chicken, cheese, bananas, grapes, and watermelon I played a little on the floor. Mama and Dada were fixing their dinner...salmon, wild rice, and broccoli. They sat down on the couch to eat while I played, but I started smelling something quite delicious from their plates! I stood up by Mama and started reaching for her food, in hopes she would share some with me. I really wanted to try the "adult" food. First, she gave me some rice on her fork and I loved it. She gave me more and more, but I noticed something green on her plate...it looked like a tree. I reached for it and she said "I don't think you are going to like this" but she let me try it anyways. I LOVE BROCCOLI!!! It had a little lemon juice on it and I thought it was great! I kept asking...whining...reaching for more and she was so happy that I liked it so much. Then, I saw that Dada had some gre...
