Fantastical

OK. So I am not really a Giants fan, but Grandma is and I love her. So I suppose I can wear this shirt. I mean I look pretty cute in it.

Hanging with daddy and Thomas.

My boys. Love 'em.

I love books!!!

This is my grandma and me. She keeps tons of books at my disposal because she was a kindergarten teacher and she knows the importance of reading with kids like me.

Here I am reading with my grandpa. He has to wear special glasses to read.

I love looking at this book. I know all the objects and colors in the book now. Mommy says I am a baby genius.

This is me and my Granna reading. We had so much fun reading ALL of my books in one sitting.

Big Girl

So the last few weeks have been pretty eventful and I have grown up a lot. I became a big sister which I love

I also moved to a big girl bed,

and I started wearing my big girl underwear.
They look pretty good with my new boots, eh?


I am a pro at using the big girl potty. I pretty much had it mastered in less than 48 hours. The first day was chaos, but I can't stand to be "messy" so I was determined to figure out how to keep a dry and clean bottom. The next day, I did it!!! YAY! I have had a few accidents, but hey it happens. Mommy and daddy are really proud of me and they are also pretty excited about saving money on diapers--more money to spend on goodies for me. ;)

Visitors

So lately we have actually stayed in one home for more than 4 days at a time. It was starting to get a little boring, but then people starting coming to visit me.
Auntie Karen came by to spend a whole day with us. It was SO much fun. I am going to miss her when we get back to Macedonia, but I am sure we will meet again one day.

The next day, my cousins came down from New Jersey. This is my second cousin Emma. We had a blast together!
We went to the park and raced down the slides.

We played in Emma's huge basket of toys.

We found whip cream and persuaded our parents to let us have some,

We posed for a lot of pictures. Cheese.

And we hung by the fire pit.

We also hid in closets, colored a million pictures, read books galore, chased each other around the kitchen and terrorized my uncle Kevin. I can't wait to do it again one day. Love to Emma, Eileen and Mark.

Dress Up/Beg for Candy Day

Daddy helped me carve a pumpkin. I pretty much just watched him and ate the one precious pice of chocolate that mom would let me have.

The finished product. Daddy did good, uh?

And then daddy did one for himself--NY for New York Yankees--they could win it all!!!

And then later in the day, I got dressed up to go trick or treating.

I was a fairy princess.

Mommy likes this picture. She says it is "artistic."

Getting ready to fly away.

Grandma didn't hardly recognize me. I had to tell her who I was.

On my way to get lots of candy.

Yay. I didn't even have to say "trick-or-treat."

Grandma carved a pumpkin with my name, Thomas' name and my 2nd cousin's name. She did so good.

What a great day!!!
