Over a Week without My Daddy

Last week daddy was gone for 9 days which is way too long for this girl to be without the man in her life. Mommy tried to keep me occupied with some new and fun things, but it was still tough.
Here I am at the playground trying to enjoy myself.

And eating. That's always an interesting experience.

Uff, Daddy, I miss you.

I tried a career in modeling.

It was a no go.

So I made daddy a poster to let him know he was welcome to come back home ASAP!


Here I am with daddy when he got home from the airport. I couldn't hardly believe my eyes.

Sigh! I love my daddy!

New words

I have become quite the talker while we have been here in America. Here are just a FEW of mommy's favorite things that I say or have said:

"God is great...AMEN!"
Patty cake. Patty cake. AMEN!"
"Oh! Big girl!" --> I say this all the time: when walking up or downstairs, getting in my chair by myself, going down the slide, moving furniture, playing with my babies. Yep, I am a big girl and sometimes you just need a little verbal affirmation.

"You're welcome."
"Scuse me." (excuse me)
"Oh goodness!" I say this when things get crazy or exciting.
"Careful daddy."
"Wash your hands daddy."
"Mommy kiss it."
"Mommy/daddy, hold you." This is mommy's most favorite thing that I say. Her heart melts right in front of me every time I say it.

"God is so good...toooo...YOOOOUUUUU!!!"
"Ha way wu WAH!!! (Hallejujah.)
"Boom. Boom. Pow."
"Baby's bonnun" (Baby's bottle)
"Night. Night baby."


Baby Thomas, my little brother is doing good. He lives in mommy's belly and I have started to pat her belly and say hey to him every day. I saw pictures of him the other day. He's a cute one and mom says he weighs about 3lbs 14 oz. right now. I am weighing in at about 25 lbs and can't even begin to imagine how tiny 3 lbs is. He, without a doubt, has daddy's nose and I have mommy's nose. I can't wait to meet him, but until then I will start working on sitting on my Elmo potty and practicing pulling up my big girl panties.

Keep praying for mommy and Baby Thomas. You might better pray for Uncle Kevin too cause I think if he calls mommy fat one more time she and I are going to have to take him out. :0)

Just livin' it up

Here I am at camp. People kept feeding me.

And they liked to put things on my head too.

And this is me with my new pal and 2nd cousin Emma. We finally got to meet and boy did we have fun. She has great hair and was so much fun to play with. I have more pictures that will appear at a later date.

More of Me in the USA

I'm in America

I have been in America for a month now. Crazy. I know. I am adjusting pretty well. I went through an introverted stage for a while which is so not me, but I am over it. I am back to never meeting a stranger. So far, I have been to lots of different places in NC and I have also been to Tennessee and Virginia. Take a look.
Here I am riding the stone horse in Gatlinburg. Nice place. Good food. And best of all, my Granna and Poppa were there.

Everyone was too busy looking at Thomas Kinkaid pictures, so I pushed the stroller around myself. "Do it self"

Daddy tried to give me swim lessons. I am not so interested.

I love playing with my Poppa. He is a great cook.

And in Virginia, I found a slide. Mommy and daddy tried to convince me it was for the big kids. Who are they kidding, I am a big kid. I went up and down with all the giant kids a bazzillion times. Whee!

And back up to go again. "I do it self."

Isn't my bathing suit sassy.

Well, that's all for now. I have lots more pictures to show you. So stay tuned. Mommy will try to do better at getting them up here for all of you to see.
