is a tough job!
S3 is adjusting very well to being a big sister to P2. It has been 5 busy weeks so far.
Mimi left the morning after P2's arrival, but I didn't miss her for long. Five days later we flew to FL where she greeted us at the airport. I got to see Great Great Annie, Great Granny, Buddy and all the people at Mimi's work and eat grilled cheese sandwiches. I hear they are momma's favorite from Mimi's work.
I got to spend the weekend with my Papa and Grammie while daddy played softball. Then 5 of my cousins (Elli, James, Rachel, Matthew & Carolynne) all came to visit with Aunt Heather. Momma and Dada showed up and then Uncle Jeff arrived. It was a crazy full house at Papa's, but it was fun. My favorite toy at Papa and Grammie's house is the Lego Dog.
We took an exciting adventure to Tacoma to visit the Glass Museum, but realized it was closed the day we went there so instead I took a much needed nap in the car and Momma and Dada drove around Point Defiance. I think we will be going back there next Summer when the weather is nicer. Point Defiance is a HUGE park with walking trails and scenic over looks, a long driving path, a zoo and an aquarium.
I got to go on a Daddy date to Baskin Robbins last week. We got confetti birthday cake ice cream.
Grammie got brave and watched me all by herself for a couple of hours this week. We had lots of fun playing with toys and I took a really good nap while I was there.
I am becoming a good communicator using signs and many words too! Here is what I know:
Words- momma, dada, mimi, up, down, more, all done, thank you, please, no, yeah, milk
Signs- flower, baby, dog, bird, milk, thank you, please, all done, more, eat
Sounds- dog, cat, pig, horse, bear, bird, duck, car, airplane, train
I'm also really good at following directions and I'm learning to get what I want. Daddy is such a sucker.
Here are some pictures to show you what I have been up to!
