My brother has sideburns. Check it out.
My mommy lets me hold Sam as long as I am sitting on the couch and she is there with us. I LOVE to hold him. Right now I talk about myself in the third person, so my favorite new line is "Sophie please hold Sammy." Mom says its very cute.
My mom is taking me to some activities that are just for me. We leave my new little brother at home and have some girls only outings. On Mondays we have swimming lessons. I am not a big fan of swimming. I pretty much cry the whole time and repeat "All Done Swimming!" for about half an hour. The teacher said it was harder on mom than me though. We are going to try again this Monday and we are hoping it gets better... Mom is hoping I am OK in the water by our trip to Florida. I am not so sure.
On Sundays we have gymnastics. Oh my gosh, I LOVE GYMNASTICS. It is so much fun. I jump on the trampoline, swing on the high bars, walk on the beam, and work on front and back rolls. There is another little girl in my class and I love to do everything she does. It is so much fun!
My best friend Owen moved to Colorado last week. We had his parents over for dinner so they could meet Sam and to say good bye (Owen was already in Colorado since Christmas). Our whole family is so bummed to see them go, although we know that's its a great move for them, so we're happy for them... but we're not happy for us! We miss them already. But, as Jenni says, it gives us a great place and.... I can't wait to see Owen again.
Its been really cold here, so we're always wearing hats. Sam and I have a lot of them. We thought you'd like to see.
Look! He's awake. Better take note of what he looks like with his eyes open... we don't get many pictures like this because it doesn't happen very often.
Mommy and Bia are trying to do special things with me. The day my great grandma came to visit Bia and I made a very special cake just for me...
I am still talking about it even though it is long gone.
My great grandma Tolly (my daddy's grandma) came for a visit with my Uncle Gary and Nancy. Here is Sam with Mommy and Grandma.
Here is our whole new family.
My brother doing his thing (sleeping)-
Me trying on Nancy's Ugg hat. I loved it. I have expensive taste.
I really love my new brother. I like to push his swing, help put his paci in, help swaddle him, and help change his diapers. Actually, most of the time I think he is MY baby and sometimes I even yell at mommy for doing things incorrectly. Mommy's biggest worry is that I will pick him up when her back is turned since I have tried to do this several times. I'm not sure what the big deal is- I can hold him just as well as anybody.
