This weekend we had to say goodbye to my great grandmother, "Mimi." She passed away last weekend. I love you Mimi and we will miss you. We had to make the trip to Pineville, Louisianna, which is a 7 hour drive. Mommy said I was so good in the car even though I was awake the majority of the time. We watched videos and played. In fact, Mommy said I was a little angel all weekend. I slept good at the hotel and was in a good mood most of the time. We stayed in a hotel for 2 nights. It had an indoor pool and hot tub which was fun. We also went to the park in Pineville and played where my mom and aunt use to play. I really liked the slide and the swing. I kept saying "weeee" as I swung and slid. Saturday was all the funeral proceedings and I mostly stayed out of the way and played with my cousin Colten. We had a lot of fun playing together, and I got to practise sharing. After everything we drove to Baton Rouge and stayed with Mr. Chico and Mrs. Anne. I got to play some with Jack Sunday morning. After that, we went to Mandeville to see Memaw and my Great Aunt Fran. They had a yummy lunch for us and then we had to leave for the 5 hour trip home. It was really great to see everyone even though it was under sad circumstances.

Me and Colten putting our heads together to figure out this whole sharing thing.
I think he may have been a little upset that I was taking his toy

Sharing, Yay!


Removing clothing items and getting comfortable. I took off my bow and that is Colten's shoe on the ground.

Taking apart the furniture. I think we could get into to some real trouble together.

I think Colten may have forgot I was a little girl for a moment and was being a little rough and tumble, but that's ok I was having fun too.

Me and Mommy in the hot tub. It was just like a big bath tub.

Watching the train at Mr. Chico's and Mrs. Ann's. Dad was proud I do have the tiniest bit of boy in me. Can you tell who they cheer for at that house?

Mommy, Memaw, and I. She kept calling me a little doll and really loved my little nose.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day that we just had to spend it outside! We picked up Grandma and headed to Aldridge Gardens. I got to play in the grass and see some geese. We then went to the park, where I swung and played on the slides and seesaw. I was then exhausted and took a nap at Grandma's. What a great day, I really can't wait for it to stay warm so we can do more outdoor activities.

I am now walking better, but mostly just when I am chasing Dakota or "Da" and not thinking about it. I like to try and sing the Alphabet Song and know where the "Y" goes and will interject it there and call it the ACs. I am also now saying "No Way!, what, and Okay." I also enjoy pretending to talk on the phone, I say "hello" and "um, what, yeah, etc." then say "bye" and throw the phone down. I guess that is about all my new things.

McWane Center

Yesterday was so great! We went to the McWane Center for the first time. Mrs. Britney and Lillian came with us. They had so many neat things to do. Mom said we would have to go back a lot especially as I got older. I liked playing at the water station probably the best. I also liked the giant piano, the shadow games, the push in needle thing, and seeing all the under water animals. I can't wait to go back!

Really cool octopus

Liked the big fish

Didn't really weigh enough to make the keys light up, but fun anyway

I loved the water station, can't wait for warm weather and the pool

These needle things were so neat

Visit from the cousins

Sunday before last, my cousins Hunter, Andrea, and Colten came to visit us. Mommy forgot her camera, so we borrowed some pics from Colten's blog (thanks guys). We had so much fun. Colten is just a few months younger then me. Mommy said I need to work on my sharing skills a bit since I tend to take toys from him and others when we play. I also didn't like it too much when Mommy or Grandma held Colten. I guess I get a little jealous and I am not ready for a sibling anytime soon. Thanks for coming to see us, come again soon.

I was ok if mommy was holding both of us

"Hey, that looks like something I want!"Just crawling around

Not much really going on here. Mommy had a bad headache monday and was sick. She felt better yesterday. We went to lunch and shopping with Mrs. Britney and Lillian. I had so much fun talking and playing with Lillian. Mommy tried a new hairstyle on me, she called it pigtails. She told me to thank Mrs. Jessica for suggesting that my hair would be long enough for them now. I thought they looked very cute. Mom at first thought I looked like a bug with antenna. They grew on her after a little while. Daddy thought they were super adorable.

Like my pigtails?

Happy New Year!

I know it is a little late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! We celebrated the new year with some friends. Of course I was asleep as they all rung in the new year, but I had fun with everyone before bedtime. I have also been having fun with all my new toys and have been very stylish in all my new clothes I got for my Birthday and Christmas. Dakota still has the talent of making me laugh the most and I call her Da. "No" has become one of my new favorite words and my parents can't believe I have hit that stage already. I bet this year will be full of many changes and milestones. Again, Happy New Year!

Flower Child

Ok so my hair is a little long, but I think it goes with the whole flower child theme.
