Visiting Great Grandma

Today Mommy, Auntie Christine, and Grandma took Brother and I to visit Great Grandma. We had lots of fun playing in Great Grandma's new apartment. Brother pretty much slept the whole time we were there, but not me . . . I was too busy entertaining everyone!

Sweet Baby Boy

Mommy took this picture of me sleeping this morning on her bed while she was getting ready. Aren't I just precious???

Visiting Kindergarten

Mommy took me to school today to show me off to all of her students. All the kids thought I was super cute and couldn't believe how much hair I had! Mommy missed all of them and couldn't believe how much they had grown in two short weeks! I know mommy loves to be home with me all day, but I think she misses teaching too! She was just glad everyone was doing good and staying out of trouble while she has been gone!

One Week!

Well, it's hard to believe that one week has already flown by! Little Brother has been a great addition to our family and Sister seems to be adjusting well to being the big sister!

We have had a busy week with lots of company, lots of diaper changing, lots of laundry, lots of cat-naps, and lots of hugs and kisses! We are so excited to show him off to everyone, so please keep the visits coming! We are always home and you can stop by whenever!

Here are some pictures of his's first week:

It's a BOY!!!

Well, my new baby brother is finally here! He weighed in at 7lbs. 10oz and was 21 inches long. I'm not too sure what to think of him just yet, but I did share my blanket with him (just for a second). Mommy said I'm going to be the best big sister ever! I think she is right! I can't wait to teach him all sorts of cool stuff! Here are some pictures of my handsome little brother!

No Baby Yet!

Hey everyone! I know you are all wondering but, NO we haven't had a baby yet! Even though today is my due date. . . it looks like it is going to come and go without a baby! Which at first I was pretty bummed, but now I'm looking at it as a blessing since everyone has come down with bad colds and coughs over the weekend and Sister also looks as if she might have pink eye! I have been staying busy disinfecting everything they touch and timing all my "false labor" contractions. At night they get as close as 5 minutes apart, but then during the day they come and go when they want!

Well, hopefully their colds/pink eye comes and goes and this baby comes sooner then later! I can't wait to meet him or her. . .but I would sure like my family to be healthy enough to meet him/her with me! :-)

We will keep you posted!

Black Eye

I got a black eye at daycare last Thursday when I was trying to take a toy away from another little boy (who is my age but much bigger!). He didn't think that was a good plan and thought I should have maybe asked nicely, instead of just grabbing it from him! Well, long story short as I was trying to take the toy (and he was trying to prevent me), he fell on me and his head landed on my eye! I only cried a few tears and in return he felt bad for me and gave me the toy. So I guess my plan worked after all! Well today. . . four days after the fact, Mommy finally got around to taking a picture of my black eye!

I'm one tough cookie. . . however Mommy and Daddy said I need to work on something they call "Sharing" . . . whatever that is. . . I think maybe I'll just start picking on kids my own size!

Pumpkin Patch

The weather was beautiful today so Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Christine took me to the pumpkin patch in West Fargo. I loved picking out a pumpkin and getting to see all the animals! Grandpa showed me how to feed the animals grass! I kept asking Grandpa for more grass so I could feed all the animals! The little puppy wasn't so interested in the grass I wanted to feed him, but he sure liked all my hugs! My favorite animal was of course the "horsies!"

We made it to October!!!

Ah, October is finally here and the countdown is going strong!!! We have 11 days left until the due date and things are looking . . . well . . . BIG! For those of you who haven't seen me in a while I thought I better post a picture so you can visualize just how BIG we are talking! Ha!

Thanks Uncle Eric!

Uncle Eric doesn't care if I am a girl . . . He says I'm going to be a hunter when I grow up. When I was born he gave me a camouflage dress and this weekend he surprised me with a stuffed pheasant that even cackles like a real one. It is my new favorite toy! Mommy tried telling Uncle Eric that I was going to be her little shopping buddy when Daddy and him go out hunting, but I think that went in one ear and out the other!

Thanks Uncle Eric! Love you!

Mommy's New Camera

When I was born, Daddy bought a mother's ring with my birthstone on it for mommy. For the birth of my new baby sister or brother, my daddy decided my mommy needed a new camera! Here are some pictures mommy has already taken with her new camera!

Here is me falling asleep on the couch after a long day of daycare!


Here I am wearing mommy's shoes around the house, while I talk on my phone with Daddy!


Here is a picture of me eating pudding. I heard mommy say that she was thankful paper towels were invented. . . whatever that means!


Thanks Daddy for the new camera!
Love you!

18 Months Old

Yes, can you believe it? I'm one and a half! Yippee! Mommy and Daddy took me to Fargo today to get my pictures taken. I did such a good job at my photo shoot (unlike last time. . . however I still didn't show off my pearly whites!) that they took me to McDonalds for a happy meal. I wasn't so much into eating, however I did manage to spill my whole carton of milk all over myself. Mommy was just happy that I spilled after my pictures and not before!

Here are a couple of the best shots I got today! Enjoy!

Potty Training

Daddy stayed home with me today since I've been running a temp for the last couple days. Well, today with daddy's help I actually made it to the potty to go potty! All weekend I have been practicing with my teddy. Teddy sits on the potty and then when teddy is done going, I give him a high five and clap for him! Today teddy gives me a high five instead. I know I still have lots of practicing to do, but hey you have to start somewhere right? Daddy is really excited for me to be trained, because the thought of two babies in diapers doesn't sound too good to him!

P.S. I hope daddy realizes that this was a probably a fluke and I won't be fully trained for quite some time, but for now . . . I'm not going to burst his bubble! :-)

Funny Story About Mommy!

One of Mommy's students went home and asked his mom if she has seen Mrs. Holland's baby. When his mom asked him which baby, the one at home or the one in Mrs. Holland's tummy. . . he replied with eyes wide open, "The one in her tummy, it is getting bigger everyday!"

Miss Attitude

Yes, everyone who looks at me, says "Oh what a sweet little girl!" But, if you only saw the side of me that my mommy saw this morning when she was trying to get my picture, you wouldn't say I was sweet. . . you would say I was full of spit and vinegar! All, I was trying to tell my mommy was that, "No way are you going to get a picture of me without my blankie!" What was so hard to understand about that???

Yep, I'm a BIG girl!

Tonight was my first night in a big girl bed! Yippee! Thank you Paige for borrowing me your toddler bed. Mommy put my crib bumper around it and it felt right at home. She also covered my sheet with a satin piece of fabric that she bought awhile ago (Nothing like being smothered in satin!) Anyway, I think this big girl bed thing is going to be alright!
