Me and my sis...

I thought you all would enjoy seeing some more pics of my baby sister Caitlyn. She's really cute. I just love to give her kisses! So far her favorite things to do are sleep, eat and poop! I've been giving her some toys but she doesn't seem to want to play with them, not sure why... I'll keep trying :) I posted some more pics on Flickr - check them out!

I ride a bike

I got this bike for my 2nd birthday and to be honest with you, I'm not too sure about it... I looks fun from afar, but I've been a "bit" hesitant to get on it... (I actually scream "NO" and run the other direction when mom or dad ask if I want to ride it). So dad pulled it up from the basement yesterday and I decided to surprise him and get on it... and guess what - it was SUPER fun!! We did lots of laps around the house. Dad helped me a little bit but I did all the steering, I think I'm a natural :)

I'm a Big Sister!!!

Guess what... I'm officially a big sister :) My little sister Caitlyn Renee was born yesterday, March 3rd, at 2:20 pm!! She was a big girl at 8lbs, 2 oz (although I outweighed her by an ounce :) and was 21.5 inches long. I got to go visit her twice yesterday and I think she's pretty cute. Some people say she looks like me when I was born but I don't really remember what I looked like back then... I'll take their word on it!!

She gave me this really fun toy - it has lots of stacking cubes with fun pictures on them. I found the smallest piece and gave it to her to play with.. I think she liked that because she kind of smiled at me :) I also pointed out to dad where all of her body parts were - her nose, eyes, ears, head, arms.. I think he was impressed...

I'm excited to have her come home tomorrow so I can introduce her to the dogs :)

Time for baby to arrive!

I've been pretty curious about the big bump on my mom's belly. I've figured out that it's a baby so I like to give it lots of kisses and hugs. Sometimes I even read it books :) By the size of things, I think it's going to be an actual baby soon!!!

I'm TWO!!

Guess What.... I turned 2 years old!!! I had a great birthday...a few of my best buds came over to celebrate with me :). We all played for a bit, had some yummy snacks and dug into some serious b-day cake!! My mom made a "Hungry Caterpillar" cake that turned into a butterfly :) It was super yummy... I had 2 whole cupcakes:)

So let's see now that I'm 2 I feel like I should tell you a few things about me...

I love to sing and dance to music - my favorite songs are "I"m a little bumble bee", "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "A,B,C,D...", "Ba Ba Black Sheep", "Old MacDonald..." to name a few :).

I'm starting to recognize some letters (mostly the ones in my name). I've also been starting to talk in "sentences" ... Or at least am putting 4-5 words together in some kind of logical way. I'm starting to count as well.. although I usually skip 4 and pretty much always end on 7.

I still haven't really decided if I'm left or right handed... I'm still trying out both to see which I like better :).

I pretty much always insist on going up and down the stairs by myself and am even starting to walk up them with just one hand on a wall.

I LOVE the moon and am pretty obsessed with airplanes. I've got an eagle eye for them and always point them out to my parents when they fly over... even when I can just hear them.

I just started sleeping in a big kid bed (well technically it's a toddler bed) and feel pretty grown up now :) I really like it because now when I wake up and I can go find mom and dad and hang out with them while they get ready in the mornings :) I find this to be pretty fun (although I'm not sure they do!!).

Ok, enough about me... pretty soon I'm going to be a big sister so you'll get to hear about both of us!

JUMP

I'm finally starting to get my jumping legs under me :)

Bath time fun with Bru

I love bath time and usually won't get out of the tub even when it's empty.... but it's even MORE fun when Bruno comes in to hang out with me :). I like to tease him with my fish toy which is pretty funny until he actually catches it!!

Park time with Dad

Dad and I went for a fun trip to the park today. I got to ride in the Burley trailer which was super fun!!!

Airplanes!

We went for a fun walk today out by the airport and I got to see sooo many airplanes land and take off.. it was super cool!! I think I'm beginning to follow in my dad's footsteps a bit with his obsession with planes... I LOVE airplanes!! As you can see I had fun running along the path too... I'm so fast!

some good reading

Well, as I continue to explore the potty, I've learned some new tricks of the trade thanks to Daddy! I've yet to really use the potty, but it's fun to hang out on it from time to time and get caught up on what's going on around town :)

And yes, this is me eating breakfast naked... (I really prefer no clothes these days). The bib was ok, but that was pretty much all I needed.... mom and dad really seem to like this phase I'm in now (just ask them how much fun we have!).
