Happy Easter!

We had a really fun Easter!  I learned how to dye Easter eggs and we went to a football field where there were lots and lots of eggs with candy.  Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Young's house where I found some baskets that a bunny left for Clara and I.  The bunny left eggs that I had to find, too.  I knew exactly what to do because we had practiced at school!

Here's Clara and I dyeing our Easter eggs. Good thing Mom hard boiled the eggs because the first one she gave me I banged on the table and broke the shell!

Clara tried to make me think she was the bunny hiding the eggs...she didn't fool me!

Lots and lots of eggs!

I got lots of eggs to put in my basket and candy, too! 

Between egg hunts there was lots of time to run around and have races.  I won each time of course!

The weather was nice enough for Clara to wear one of her pretty dresses!  She had to put on a hat though because it was so sunny!  She was too little to look for eggs, but I gave her one of mine (a pink one)!   

Between egg hunts, a helicopter came and dropped even more eggs from the sky!  But he missed the field and dropped them on our heads!

Here's our first family picture!  It only took 2 1/2 months to get it...

Clara and I were about pictured out at the end of this day!  But we hung in there for a picture with Grandma and Grandpa...

It didn't take me long to find the fruit snacks in the eggs that I found at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  I ate them all!

First Holidays!

I've gotten to celebrate some of my first holidays - Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day and Easter!  We didn't do much (except for Easter - more on that to come!), but Owen and I had the clothes for them!

It was a Valentine's Day filled with lots of love in our house! 

Owen didn't have a fancy St Patrick's Day shirt like me, but he did wear his green!

Owen didn't have any special Easter clothes but I did (although I think they were both hand me downs from Owen...)

My Room!

Owen got to show off his room and I wanted to as well!  Since I'm sleeping in my bed, I'm spending lots more time in my room...

Mom took the bumpers off my bed before I even started sleeping in it.  Good thing since she found me like this only a week or so after I started sleeping in my bed!  I'm a wiggler!  Everyone always asks me if I sleep through the night and I do!  Well, except when I don't...  For the most part I have no trouble sleeping all night, but there are a couple nights when I wake up and just want mom for a little bit.  But then I go right back to sleep! 

I've got my name on the wall like Owen does.  All of the letters are from Clemson.  Just another way Mom and Dad are subtly hinting where they want me to go to college!

There's no doubt that I'm set on clothes!  Between hand me downs from Owen, Mom going shopping and gifts from friends and family, I've got so many cute outfits to show off!

Tractor Show!

The other weekend we went to a tractor show in Blue Ridge, GA!  As Mom describes it, it was just some tractors in a parking lot.  But I would describe it as one of the coolest things ever!  It was really cold and windy but I toughed it out and checked out the tractors until they started packing them up to go home. When we were in the car leaving, I kept asking for more tractors!  

There were all kinds of tractors, but my favorite were the little ones because I could climb on them all by myself! 

Clara wasn't very interested in the tractors - she had more fun playing with her turtle!  There was also a tractor inside that I got to sit on!

Months 1 and 2!

I've been keeping up with my monthly pics but just slow in sharing them with everyone!  

Here I am for Month 1.  At this doctor's appointment I had gained more than a pound from my birth weight!  Mom has been feeding me good! 

Here I am for Month 2.  Can you tell I'm learning how to smile for pictures?  I had to go to the doctor's again and I'm still growing!

Here I am at my 2 month doctor's appointment.  This picture was taken before I had any idea of the pain I was about to experience!  I had to get three shots!  They hurt so badly but Mom was there to help me feel better.  I don't think I'm going to be smiling at my next appointment...

Here's two videos of my skills.  One is me showing off my smile and the other is a preview of what's to come for month 3 - I'm talking!

Fashion Girl!

I think everyone agrees now that girls clothes are much cuter than boy clothes!  My brother might have some good looks, but I've got those plus the clothes!  

Lots of pink of course!

I don't think I need either of these shirts since everyone already knows I'm the best sister and Grandma loves me, but that's okay!

I've got my very own Clemson shirt!  And I got an orange bow recently to add to my bow collection - of course it goes good with my purple outfit!

Mom likes pink too!  And the giraffe outfit is a favorite of ours! 

Mom was brave each time she put me in my all white outfit but I was a good girl - no messes!  Can't say the same about several other outfits...  

It's starting to get warm out so time for more dresses and skirts! 

Even though I've lost lots of hair lately, I do a much better job of smiling for pictures!

Bowling!

Clara and I got to go on our first bowling trip!  Clara just watched but I got to bowl!  Dad helped me (along with a ramp and gutter bumpers!).  After a couple of times though, I didn't want to use the ramp and wanted to bowl like Mom and Dad.  But Dad still had to help push it down the lane or we might still be there bowling...

Before we went bowling, I practiced at home with my bowling set from Grandpa Mike.  But I figured out a much more fun way to "bowl" with it!  I call it human bowling!
