Play Doh!

This stuff is the BEST!!  Mommy and Daddy gave me a container and some dough--it was pink and in a tall circle shape.  I wasn't sure what it was at first---thought maybe I should eat it (we were sitting at the table).  But then Daddy showed me some things to do with it---and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

I squished it and pressed it and pulled it!  then Mommy got out some plastic utensils and we cut it, poked it and scooped it!  And there were SO many colors!!  I had to put one color away before I got out another one (cuz that's what Daddy said to do)!  I sat and played with him for 20-30 minutes!

  If you haven't tried this stuff---you REALLY SHOULD!!!  It's great!

My Sunday Bag

A couple Sunday's ago Mommy and Daddy gave me my very own bag for church.  I LOVE IT!  Now I have a bag to carry all my books and toys in just like Mommy!  And it is just my size!

Every Sunday morning now, I get to help load it up with books I want and I get to carry it to church!

I'm such a big girl!

I understand everything Mommy and Daddy say...I'm working on trying to communicate with them in their language!  It's coming slowly, but surely! :)

I just can't get enough of him!

We have a new baby in our house and I love him so much!

When I wake up in the morning, I run to his bed to find him.  (usually he is sleeping still though so I can't hold him...)

I don't like when Daddy leaves with Kyler.  I wish I could go with them too.  (Mommy says they are going to the Dr. though, so maybe I don't really want to go!)

I know that the green binkies are his.  If I find one anywhere, I want to put it in his mouth.  (Sometimes Mommy says he doesn't need it though...not sure why!) 

I know how to say when I'm all done!

I like to help feed him with a bottle.

I like to show him my toys and my books.

I like to give him kisses.

I really don't like to hear him cry.  

I don't understand why Mommy can't stop him from crying when he is getting his diaper changed. 

I get very concerned when he cries and cries and cries.

Sometimes I hear him cry at night...but I don't cry.  I can hear Mommy helping him.

My very favorite thing to do with him is hold him!  I know that I need to wash my hands (with sanitizer) and then sit down and then Mommy or Daddy will help me hold him.  I am getting better at holding him for longer periods of time.
