I Love the Pool...

July 31, 2009...Mommy took Reesey & me to the pool today. I got to play with my friend, Julia. I love to jump in the pool and swim around. I can jump in all by myself. It's the best! (Yes, I wore my sunglasses the whole time. Did you know that they have baseballs on the sides?)

July 30, 2009...I have now been going on the potty for four weeks on a regular basis. I earned 32 stickers this week, bringing my total up to...114 stickers!!! I got to go to Chuck E. Cheese, and it was great. We are still deciding what I will earn the next time, once I've earned 150 stickers. I'll keep you posted...

Out & About...

July 30, 2009...Today we went to the mall to have lunch with Mommy's friend, Caroline. Afterwards, I wanted to walk around and see all the fountains. They have four really cool fountains, and I like to throw coins in them. Here we are with some duck statues that I really liked.

Bears...

July 29, 2009...I asked Mommy to take this picture of my bears & me. From left to right, on top step, are Wolvie and Flash. On the next step from left to right are Little Bear, Black Bear, Chicago Bear, and Diva Bear. They played baseball with me today.

Chuck E. Cheese...

July 28, 2009...I earned my 100th sticker for going potty!!!!! I got to go to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch and fun today! Grammy, Mommy, & Reesey came with me. I ate pepperoni pizza. I played games with Grammy and Mommy. I really like putting the tokens in the machines all by myself. I also loved playing skee ball. I finished off my fun time by getting a baseball, a pink comb, and a lollipop with all the tickets that everyone helped me earn...esp. Grammy who hit the jackpot on one of the games and won 150 tickets!

Love you, Grammy!

I'm Three Years & One Month Old!!!

July 23, 2009...I'm three years and one month old today. Mommy realized she didn't take any monkey pictures of me on my third birthday...so sad. So, here are lots more! I'm definitely the typical three year old in terms of wanting everything now and everything my way. I want to be independent. I'm still sweet, loving, and shy, but I am pretty demanding now, too. I'm starting to learn to share, especially now that Reesey wants to get into all of my toys. Sharing is not my favorite thing, but I am getting better. I am doing great with potty training now! I have only had one accident in two weeks! I don't take baths anymore, just showers. I will play with Reesey in the bathtub and help give him a bath. My favorite shows right now are The Backyardigans, The Letter Factory, and Little Bear. I still love the movie Cars, but I don't have to watch it every day. I know all of my (capital) letters and the sounds that they make. My favorite books are Berenstain Bear books; books about baseball; Under the Sea (a nonfiction book that I got at the National Aquarium in Baltimore); How to Potty Train Your Monster; Cars; Meet Jack Truck; and any baby book that Reesey likes. I love BASEBALL more than just about anything!!! I want to wear my baseball jersey, baseball socks/stirrups, fast shoes/cleats, and baseball hat all the time. I love watching baseball with Daddy when he comes home from work, and I love to play baseball in the evenings with Mommy & Daddy, too. I carry my glove and ball and my baseball guys with me just about everywhere I go. My favorite foods are hummus & chips/pretzels, pickles, ice cream, chicken, any kind of cracker, yogurt, granola bars, and cereal. My favorite songs are Center Field; Go Cubs, Go; Take Me Out to the Ballgame; Route 66; and songs from Reese's Mother Goose baby CD. I love baseball & most other sports, snacks, playing with my cars/trucks from the movie Cars, playing with my baseball guys, seeing Ainsley & Riley at the YMCA, going to Rhyme Time at the library and picking out lots of books, tickling Reesey & making him laugh, going to Grammy & Grandpa's house, going for walks, taking care of my stuffed animals, going to the pool and jumping in all by myself, reading books with Mommy, playing Wii with Daddy, having Daddy tuck me in at night, getting packages/magazines/cards in the mail, and BASEBALL!!!!!!!! I'm growing up so fast...Mommy & Daddy can't believe it.
