This was the best Memorial weekend as of yet! We had so much fun hanging out together as a family. You kept us entertained and laughing.
Friday night I got home from work and couldn't have been more happy. We played and had a dance party. We took a break and cuddled. You took a picture of yourself on my phone to capture the moment. Look at how dang cute you are!
Saturday we slept in - yay for sleeping in! Then we got ready and headed to Grandma Annette's house where you were going to meet some cousin's of daddy's we have never met. You were dressed super cute of course. We got there and met everyone and I was not impressed and either were you. The kids were super, super bratty and super, super possessive of toys - even if they weren't playing with them. You realized how lame they were so you went off on your own and played. You are so damn cool I can hardly stand it. Then when the dumb kids came in from being out on the tramp you wanted to go outside so me, daddy and you went out and jumped on the tramp, it was GREAT!! Then when the other kids came back out we went back in and left. We went to the store and got some yummy stuff for dinner. We got home, got in our jammies and relaxed, it was WONDERFUL!! We may or may not have gotten super silly.
Then we had a delicious bbq steak dinner with baked potatoes. You sure are a good little eater. You kept saying "leaf, leaf", so I shared my salad with you and you loved it!! We finished the evening with a rigorous dance party. This was definitely one of those nights that I didn't want to end.
Saturday night you kept waking up crying so I brought you into bed with us and we cuddled. I did not sleep well and we did not sleep in. You woke up at 9 and dragged me downstairs with you, but it was actually good that we didn't sleep in since we had lots to do that day. We had to bake cupcakes, frost them, go shopping and go to Grandma Shelly's for her birthday celebration.
You are such a big helper. You helped me put the cupcake ingredients into the bowl and stir it together, it was actually quite messy, but you were having a great time.
You even helped me decorate them!! You are such a rock star!!
You might be able to see in the pic above that you have a pair of shorts on over your pants!?! Yeah you're in this phase right now where you like to layer your clothing, it's quite hilarious and entertaining. If you can't do it yourself you get super frustrated. You don't quite understand why another pair of pants can't easily go on top of another. It cracks me up!!
We had to go get ready for the bbq at Grandma's house but not without trying on dad's work boots first.
We made it to Grandma's after a quick trip to Costco where I picked up a copy of Bug's Life for you. The party didn't start until you got there. You were cracking everyone up!! You were making animal sounds for everyone, naming all your colors, smiling, laughing and running around. The sun even peaked through the clouds for a minute so we ran outside and enjoyed it while we could. We ate some yummy bbq, fruit, salad and bread. Then it was time for dessert. We gave you a cupcake and you were so cute just eating the frosting off the top and sucking it out of the cake, it was funny.
We got home from Grandma's at about 8pm and laid you down since you didn't have a nap all day. Then about 20 minutes later you were yelling from your crib and was ready to play! What the heck!?!? You were pretty much deliriously tired!! We sat at the table together and had a snack. There is a mirror above the table that is shaped like a circle, so you learned circle. You would see things shaped like a circle and yell "CIRCLE!!" Then you would also make the shape with your hand. It's amazing how fast you learn. Then you and I eventually cuddled together and watch Bug's Life. You kept asking every minute "What's that?" "What's that?" It was hilarious... at first. ; )
You finally did make it to bed. Even though I had the day off Monday morning came too soon. you woke up saying "cake, cake". Yep you wanted a cupcake for breakfast. You had more sugar on Sunday than you have ever had in one day - could it be that you had two Grandma's that over ruled anything your parents said!?! Hmmmm, yeah pretty much!
Anyway, you had a cupcake for breakfast since you were such a good, good girl this weekend.
Oh and you had already had your bath before the cupcake! I swear you could take a bath after every meal!! After breakfast we just hung around and got ready for Grandpa Frank to come over and visit. The sun was finally shining and it was beautiful outside. We turned on the stereo cleaned the house, you would follow me around and help or you would go in your room and play. Then Grandpa showed up and we played outside. We turned on the sprinkler for you and you were in heaven! you were cracking Grandpa Frank up! He brought you a Pluto Pez dispenser. He was impressed that you knew Pluto and kept saying his name, you were saying all your animal sounds, colors, counting to 14 like you do and even saying circle and finding circles all over the place. You are such a smarty pants.
So you know how to count to 14, can say and recognize "circle", say and point out all the colors, you also said the following words/phrases this weekend:
freak - my "swear" word but now you say it so I need to get a kinder word to say
Let go! - you and dad were both grabbing for the same thing
Where is she/it/that?
Oh there she/it/that is!
Sienna - I was teaching you this on Saturday on our way to G-ma Annette's house
Jaguar - Diego the cartoons pet
Pirate Ship
Cupcake
Cake
Trampoline
Super hot
Come on! - as you tug, pull, push someone to go with you
Music
Dance
Maizy - it's SO freakin' adorable how you say your name
Two - when you are asked how old you are
I know you have started saying a ton more words and phrases but I can't remember them all. you are talking so much and are getting easier and easier to understand. When people are talking to you, you are always staring at their mouth and I think that has helped you a lot.
Thanks for a fantastic weekend. You are such a good, good girl! Today I woke up thinking how can I stay home with Maizy all day, but still make money?!?!?!
How I only wish babe!!
Love you!
Love,
mommy
