SEMO Fair!!!

The SEMO fair is in town! It's a big deal in Cape Girardeau. On Monday, there was a parade to celebrate the event. When we got there and squeezed into a spot, we noticed that every kid had a Wal-Mart bag ready to catch candy. Uh-oh! We were not prepared. Mommy and Daddy had no idea the amount of candy that was about to be pelted at my head! I ran and dashed around the street to collect as much candy as I could. I became a pro! We just grabbed my backpack and loaded it up! Here I am watching the bands. I really liked the music and marching! Collecting candy...picking up this piece and got my eye on the next piece making sure another kid doesn't get it first!
Mommy & Daddy were trying to convince me that my belly is too full of Tootsie Rolls so I can't eat anymore!!!
My stash looks like Halloween...all this from the parade!!!

FAIR NIGHT! Thursday night we went to the fair. As soon as I walked in I met this little monkey. She shook my hand!!!

My first ride. I called it "Dragon Tales!" I love it!!!

I made a new friend on the car ride. I'm asking him where's he's going to drive us to????

1st ride on the Merry-go-Round. This one went pretty fast!

2nd go around... I chose the giraffe!Oh the teacups! I slipped out of my seat and fell down a little bit. Good thing my little friend in the cup with me helped me up!!!

Feeding the animals!!! It helps me concentrate if I stick out my tongue. This one brown goat was so hungry! I kept wanting to feed the small black goats, but he was greedy. I kept telling him "NO I feed black goats!!!" But he wasn't taking no for an answer. He even nibbled at Daddy's shirt!

Good someone else is feeding Brownie. I can finally feet these little black ones. This big camel was hungry too!!!
Can't forget the deer:)

Watch me ride the Dragon Coaster. It was a little rough. I'm glad that little boy rode with so I could lean on him!!! The second video is me riding the spinning teacups! Watch how fast the little boy in the orange shirt in front of me is spinning. Daddy asked him if I could ride with him at first and he said No! It's a good thing because I would have been thrown all around in that thing!

CHECK OUT MY SHIRT!!!

That's right! I'm going to be a big sister!!! Mommy has a baby growing in her belly. My baby brother or sister should be here around April 3rd!!!

This & That pics:)

I've really gotten in to helping Mommy cook supper. I like to stir, mix, and make a mess! I've become a pro at washing off the veggies for her. Here I'm washing the broccoli. Check out my tongue. It helps me work. I'm good at washing carrots too!
I'm somewhat OCD about a few things. My clothes is one of them I have to lay out my pajama's perfectly on the bed before I can go take a bath. If their folded or wrinkled in the least bit, I have to start all over! MY tongue helps me do the work. Daddy's workout regime is not too tough for me. He just makes me do 20 pull ups every night :)
Baby Emori decided to do a headstand on her back.....so I joined her and did a headstand too!

Posing in my new zebra outfit. Mommy and I went out and about Saturday while Daddy was gone. We did a little shopping and enjoyed our lunch date at Mcalister's with the birds! I loved feeding them my bread.

SAY CHEESE~

Taking a shower like a big girl. I loved it this night.....but hate it other nights. Hey, I'm a girl...I can change my mind!

I got this dress from my cousin Madison and it's my FAVORITE. I put in on about everyday!!! I added a little bling with the glasses and hat today!

Saying my prayers before supper. I don't really know why I'm making this beaver face. Ms. Susie at school can get me to memorize a prayer in 2 weeks. Mommy has been working on my night time prayer for about a year and I still don't say it all right. What's wrong with that scenario???

Wrestling with the boys. Mommy's teaching friend's two boys. Here I'm steamrollling Ethan or "Ethie" as I call him:)

I've got Eli pinned down...count 1-2-3!!!

Labor Day weekend

We got to go to Campbellsville for Labor Day weekend. I had a lot of fun playing with my family and friends!!!

I think I may be a skateboarding chic. I like to ride our neighbor's board and here I am with my cousins Ben and Luke. I'm not quite balanced enough to stand up on it yet.

Good ole' Miller Park....see-sawing with Jess!!!

I've mastered the big swings. I'm working on pumping my legs back and forth. That's what Ms. Susie says to do. When Mommy pushes me I say, "Push me Pigher Mommy!"

Sometimes I like to go down memory lane and hop in the baby swings occasionally. These aren't as much work.

On Sunday we got my play with my cousins Reese, Riley, Shelby, and Sienna. We also went to visit baby Emori! I think she wants a pink bow like me! She keeps reaching for it.My Mommy, me, Emori, and her mommy Gretchen:)
On the way home from Campbellsville, we stopped for a break at a McDonald's. I used the big girl potty so I got to play on the playground for a little bit. It was a big climb up. Here I am climbing the steps in the tunnel going high!
You can't tell it's me...but I'm way up high in this yellow tunnel. Mommy and Daddy were a little uneasy because I was so high and they would have a hard time reaching me. Luckily there was another little girl playing who was able to guide me through.
Finally coming down the long red slide!

We've been busy!

We've been so busy lately, Mommy hasn't had time to update my blog. I've started back at daycare....3 weeks and going great! My first day back, I peed in the potty 2 times, took a nap without my paci, and drank out of a big girl cup! Turn 2 and I suddenly became a big girl! Mommy and Daddy have been trying really hard to get me to potty at home, but I think I just like the potties better at school. Swiper took all my pacis and gave them to the Super Babies (it's a Dora thing!). So I am paci-less!

I had some company last weekend...Nana, KK, Jess, and Nana Beck came to visit me. We went to the arch in St. Louis and a Cardinals game. It was lots of fun!

Here's Jess and me posing next to the arch with our shades on!

Mommy and Daddy's turn to pose with me. I'm just so loved!

Our plan was to go up in the arch, but it was sooo busy the day we were there, we couldn't. So, instead, we took a carriage ride with a horse named Elvis! Daddy and me got to ride up front with the driver, while everyone else rode in the back.
Check out our view of the game. Not so great seats and in the sun!!! But it was fun!

I found the best spot in the ballpark...the water misting pole. I pushed this button and a mist of water cooled me off! It was all fun until this boy came up and tried to "help" me push the button and smashed my finger in it. I did shed a few tears :(

Nana bought these new shoes and I loved to walk around in them. They were my Cinderella shoes! Mommy and Daddy have started back to work, so we've all been extra tired lately! Summer is over:( I like to get in bed and cuddle with Daddy in the mornings while Mommy gets ready. Turn on some cartoons and I'm all set. What a precious pic!

I've already learned to pose for silly pics!

This is one evening after supper, enjoying my dessert...popsicle! I look so grown up in my little polo!

This top to the sewer drain is my "Hokey-Pokey" circle! I like to go out in the street and do the "hokey-Pokey" on this circle! I always make Daddy or Mommy join me!

OK! Mommy bought me big girl panties to try to get me to go potty and home to get rid of my diapers. Here I am checking them out in the mirror for the first time! I was trying to see Minnie Mouse in the mirror, so I had to push my panties closer!

Gotta see how they make my butt look. Hey, it's a little slimmer than with those bulky diapers I think!

MY 1st WEDGIE!!! Daddy, you're so silly!

Thursday night I did it! I pooped in the potty!!! I haven't tee teed at home yet though. Mommy and Daddy were so happy, I got a big surprise! It was a vet costume. Here I am in full gear!
I think this puppy needs a shot:(
Here's a video of me trying to use the potty. I like to read books to pass the time! I'm changing the words to this book to make it like the book, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?"
