Summer Mix

Daddy got a new kind of soda called Pepsi Summer Mix and he left the box open and in my reach. Today I discovered that it smells fruity. I reached into the box and took out three cans of soda, one at a time, and built a pyramid with them on the floor. Then I took two cans, shook them, and threw them over my head. They hit each other mid-air and hit the floor. They exploded and soda flew everywhere. Kendrick and Mommy and I got a soda shower. Mommy wasn't too happy, but I thought it was really funny. Kendrick kept on sleeping; I don't think he really cared too much. Then, before Mommy could put Kendrick down, I sat in the mess and made soda angels. That made Mommy really upset. She put Kenny down, picked me up, stripped me, made me take a bath, and put me to bed. She said she was too upset to deal with me right then, so I was in time out. I decided it was time for a nap, and by the time I woke up Mommy had cooled down. She had also cleaned the messy soda. Darn, I was hoping to make more soda angels :)

Playplace

Yesterday we were shopping at the Lilac Mall in Rochester, and Mommy and Daddy decided to eat at McDonald's. The one we went to had a playplace, and Mommy and Daddy let me play in it for the first time. I liked the slide, but I didn't like being up in the tubes. So what did I do? I sat at the end of the slide, smiling. Luckily, McDonald's wasn't very busy and none of the other kids came down the slide while I was there. I didn't want to leave and wasn't very happy when Mommy and Daddy said it was time to go. Also, the jealousy Mommy was expecting me to have when my brother was born has arrived. I've been crying every time I see Mommy holding my brother for the past couple days. That means I've been crying pretty much all the time because Kendrick really likes to be held. Sometimes Mommy lets me hold him while I sit in her lap. I like to hold my brother, but I sure don't like to share my Mommy with him.

New Brother

I'm a big sister! My baby brother was born on Thursday April 12, 2007 at 12:53pm. He weighs 9 lbs. 10 oz. and is 22.25" long. He is a very big boy. I stayed with my Meme while he and mommy and daddy were in the hospital. Thanks Meme, I had a wonderful time with you! Mommy really appreciates all you have done for us. I got to see my brother yesterday. I know he's a baby, so I like him because he's a baby. I'm not so sure about him joining our household though. I don't think I'm going to like sharing my mommy with him. We'll have to see. Mommy, Daddy, and Kenny are at home, and Meme will be bringing me home to them soon. Mommy will let you know how I react to my new brother.

Christmas

Mommy promised to tell you all what I got for Christmas. It's been a while since she updated my page because she wanted to add pictures. No pictures yet, but she's working on it! Anyway, I loved Christmas. I got a lot of cool stuff. My Gammy got me a Tumble Time Tigger. Mommy hates it because it won't shut up. She threatened to take out the batteries. Auntie Becky got me a Winnie the Pooh ball and I love it! I can pick it up, and kick it, and I'm learning how to play pass with Mommy. I also got lots of other neat toys. I got hippos and a little basketball hoop for the bathtub. I got a new dolly, some stacker block things, two walk and play toys, a toy gumball machine, a couple videos, and some books among other things. Some people from my Meme's work gave our family some presents; and I got a Turbo Tail Tigger, some other little toys, shampoo, and lots of pretty clothes. No offense to anyone if what you got me isn't listed. Mommy can't remember who gave me what for all my gifts. She says next year she's going to write it all down. Anyway, I loved all my presents, and I love the people who gave them to me even more!

Christmas is Coming

Christmas is coming, and I am getting so big. Mommy says I'm going to have a great time this Christmas. I still love to pull the bulbs off the tree, so Mommy moved them all so I can't reach them. I discovered candy canes yesterday. I tried to pull one off the tree, but it wouldn't come down! I saw Mommy sucking on one that a friend gave her and she looked really happy so they must be good, but I won't get to have one unless Mommy gives me one because try as I might I just can't get that candy cane to come off the Christmas tree. Mommy's having a hard time keeping me out of the presents too. I like the pretty paper. It makes a crinkly sound, and I know there's something underneath it, but Mommy won't let me play with them. She says I have to wait a couple more days. Bummer! I don't understand why I can't have them now. I guess that's all for tonight. I'll be sure to check in after Christmas and tell you what I got.

Tubbies

I have discovered how much fun the bathtub is. I go running to it when I hear the water running because I know that I'll be getting a bath, and I LOVE baths! I like to splash the water and play with my tubbie toys while mommy washes my hair and my body. I always smell really good when I'm done. Today I discovered how much fun it is to stand up in the tub and let myself fall back down on my bum. It splashes water everywhere! I got mommy soaked doing it. She kept telling me to stop, but it was just too much fun. Then she ruined it by letting the water drain out of the tub. I guess she didn't want me to wash her bathroom floor for her by getting it all wet. The tub's a lot of fun when it's not bathtime too. I like to stand beside it and throw thing into it. Mommy doesn't mind when I throw my toys and board books in it, but she wasn't too happy when I threw my dress shoe in the tub when it was still wet from my bath. She caught me trying to throw Daddy's pajama pants in the tub and took them away from me. She says tubs are for bathies, not for storage. I'll have to show her! :) Banging on the edge of the tub is fun too, and I'm just big enough that I can get one foot up on the edge of the tub. Mommy says it won't be long before I'll be able to climb into the tub all by myself. I can't wait!

Daddy

I love my Daddy! He works really hard to support me and my mommy. I've noticed that lately he's been around a lot more. He spends more time with me and mommy, and he plays with me now! I wanted Daddy to read to me, so I brought him a book. He read me the whole thing, even though he says he can't read very well. It made me really happy. Tuesday night and this morning he spent time with just me while mommy went to a writing class and helped my Meme with her office work. I missed my mommy, but Daddy and I had a lot of fun together. Tuesday night we made cookies with snowmen on them. They were really yummy. Today we cleaned the house together while Mommy was gone. I helped by moving the dirt pile all over the house. I really like it when Daddy spends time with me. I love you Daddy!
