32 Week Comparison!

Mom says that things are a little different the second time around....  Baby number two gives more symptoms :)  So more tums around the house these days and things are getting harder to bend down and reach.  So for comparison, Dad pulled up week 32 from when I was in Mom!

Surprisingly, I think Mom is looking pretty svelte (even if she doesn't feel like it!).  I'm sure that the next 8 weeks are going to fly by!  I am heading to a big sister class at the hospital this next week too.  Got to help get ready!!!  Talk to you all soon..........

I'm 3 Years Old!!!!

 My birthday was Friday and I've been celebrating hard the past two days!  I had a great day at school and got to hand out cookies to all of my friends to celebrate me turning 3.  Grandpa and Grandma Jackson made it up early in the day and we went out to Red Robin for my favorite meal......chicken and fries!

DAY 1 OF CELEBRATION!

When Mom got home from work I got a big surprise......I went up to my room and Dad brought out all the gifts that had come for me in the mail, plus the gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Jackson and Mom and Dad.  I got a ton of awesome stuff!  The easel from Grandma and Grandpa is going to be lots of fun.

 Aunt Jess and Uncle Matt made me a cool block with my name and flowers...

 Aunt Coco and Chase sent me some goodies too.  I got a ribbon (think rhythmic gymnastics), a book, and princess legos!

 Here is the carriage....

Grandpa and Grandma brought me goodies too!  I got some rapunzel outfits, bracelets, and an elmo DVD.

 Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt sent me my new picnic table and some outdoor goodies (watering can and sprinkler) along with some summer clothes.

 I had a great time opening all of my presents.

The Daniels added to my legos too!  Cinderella's castle is quite impressive!

 I got to play doctor to my dolly.....

 And enjoyed a birthday brownie :)

DAY 2 OF CELEBRATION!!!!

 Here I was posing pre-party.....I've been looking forward to all of my friends coming over to play!

 We had a great spread of food....

 Matthew and Madeline were there.....

and Lilly and Ally too!

 My friends filled up the whole house!

 Chelsea (the youngest partier) and Grandma J!

 Chocolate cupcakes....I did a good job with the candles!

Excited birthday girl.

I opened up my gifts amid the chaos.  There was a point where everyone had the nap time crazies and we thought things were going south!

Chelsea Jo :)

The Toledo boys and their little ladies!

You know it's a good party when the play room has seen things!  I'm already planning my next big blow out party!!  Thanks to everyone that made turning 3 a big success!!!

Easter Tme....

I've been busy this past week. As I assert my independence, I announced to Mom and Dad that I only want to wear big girl underwear. So I had some success and Dad took me to Cabela's (it was my choice).

Here I am with the "hugging bears," as I like to call it.

We've had some sunny weather this past few days. I went out into the back and discovered that I can blow bubbles all on my own this year!
Last night I had an egg project with Mom and Dad. We colored some of them, but the others we made into a princess scene.

I always enjoy project time!

The end result. I was very proud of eyeball princess. :)

This morning I got up bright and early ready to go downstairs and check out what the Easter Bunny had done. I had a basket to collect some of my goodies...
I learned quickly that I could shake the eggs to check for quality/quantity of candy.
Most of the pictures Mom took of me hunting were blurry. Guess I was moving quickly!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!!!

Pre-Bed Run...

Playing with Corbin and Parker...

The Daniels have been hanging at my house since Thursday...here are a few pics. It's hard to get us all in one spot, us kids are on the move!

I've enjoyed sharing the baby gear at my house with Corbin.

Here I am practicing holding baby Corbin!

I'm learning that sometimes babies cry too.

Today we took a trip up to Ann Arbor to a very cool kids indoor playground. Parker was very adventurous and went up high in the tree top.

I made a run up there too, but the cargo nets were not my favorite.

The little kids area is more my style. Today I was into creative sliding!

I even got Mom to go down a slide a few times too!

This afternoon I showed Corbin some of my watercolors.

Two girls in tutus!

There was LOTS of running and excitement! It's been a fun-filled weekend :)
