Cookies!

My mommy and I made cookies last week. I wasn't so sure about the mixer until mommy showed me how to lick the beaters.... then all I said was "more, more, more!" for pretty much the rest of the day until the mixer was stashed away.

More from Weekend with Owen

Here we are taking a walk on the W&OD trail. us reading in the car:

And these are the cutest pictures EVER. Can you tell we love each other? We loved sitting in the Costco cart together. Owen held my sippy cup for me while I drank out of it and we thought we were hysterical. We also hugged and kissed a lot. Daddy says if we get married, Jenni & Andrew have to pay for half the wedding...

My Sleepover with Owen

Two weekends ago, I had my very first sleepover. My friend Owen came to visit while his parents ran a 1/2 marathon. We had so much fun! Here are just a few pictures, but I should warn you- mom is posting the best pictures from the weekend tomorrow. Here we are right before bed in our PJs with daddy reading us bedtime stories.

I am usually super neat and organized and put all my toys away (I get this from my dad), but Owen was teaching me how to dump over my book basket and have books all over the floor. At first, it stressed me out a little, but I got used to it and decided that it was fun.Here we are eating. the pictures is a little blurry and we didn't have a good one, but thought you'd like to see anyway.

My backpack

As you know, I have always been independent and now I insist on carrying my backpack on my back to and from school everyday. It's actually very small, but as you can see- its still bigger than me. It doesn't even matter if its heavy- I throw a total trantrum if mommy tries to carry it. Sometimes it knocks me over, but I don't care as long as I get to carry it.

My Silverware

I'm very good with my silverware now. I don't like to eat as much with my hands and I think its fun to eat with silverware. Here I am cracking up over jello- which is very hard to "catch" on the spoon. And here I am trying to convince Bax that he should use silverware too!

Chores

Mommy & Daddy are always joking about how everyone gets put to work at our farm. But for me, its one of the BEST parts of the day. I LOVE to feed the horses. I insist on carrying the buckets (even filled with grain) from the barn to the pasture everyday. I will not let anyone else carry them. I also love to fill the horses' fence feeders and I always say "Cereal" since that is clearly what we are feeding them.
I can only carry one when it is filled with Cereal:
Then we dump the cereal in the fence feeders and watch the horses eat:And then, when they are empty, I can carry BOTH buckets back to the barn!

I love Spaghetti

Enough said. Oh, and mom said I have to tell everyone that we are growing my bangs out- otherwise people will start begging for a haircut from these pictures.

Not a Baby Anymore..

Mom says in these pictures you can really tell that I'm a big girl now. Here I am coloring at my new table (from Ikea for $25 and then painted red by my dad). My outfit is from my dad's uncle Gary's girlfiend Nancy. She brings the best clothes!

My Big Girl Bed

So, we are getting ready for Sam and he needs my crib. Since I sleep on a cot at daycare, my parents thought I MIGHT be fine in a big girl bed. I have been sleeping in it for over a week now and I'm going great! Going down for naps on the weekends is a little rough, but I am GREAT at nighttime. After all, when its time to sleep, its time to sleep! We'll get some pictures of me in it soon- but here it is! I also got a new reading chair so Sam can have the glider. I love it because its big enough for me and my mommy to sit on together- even with her big belly. My daddy has been working very hard on the crown and paint in Sam's room. We'll post when its all done.
