Nanny Cailynn Comes to Stay

I had a wonderful week this week! My cousin Cailynn, aka nanny cailynn, stayed with us to help my mom with me and Isabelle. Since my mom had an extra set of hands we got to go to a lot of great places! On Tuesday we went to the indoor playpark. On Wednesday we went to the zoo. And on Thursday we went to the new outdoor water park! Here I am running through the water park:)
I tried to do everything that Cailynn did. Having her with us allowed my mom to hold Isabelle more and not have to worry about chasing after me:)
Mom says I don't walk anywhere....I just run!
On Friday, nanny Cailynn's last day:(, we colored on big paper and made pumpkin brownies. It was so much fun having her stay with us...dad even offered to pay her to nanny all year long and skip 3rd grade! She politely declined the offer, but said maybe she could come back before school starts!

Hangin' Out

Even though I gave up the paci a year ago, I thought I'd try Isabelle's out for size...it felt kinda funny, so I gave it back to her. Mom also let me try Isabelle's formula because I kept asking for it....I actually liked it!
I am reading more and more these days as well. I think Isabelle likes my voice. At the end of this story I said, "and then Cailynn and Trey went home." Sometimes I make up my own endings!
I could give Isabelle kisses all day long, but mom makes me leave her alone when she is sleeping. I hope one day that she doesn't sleep so much!

Welcome Home Little Sister

I woke up Saturday morning to find my baby sister at home!!! She was born on July 9th at 1:35 in the afternoon...weighing just an ounce less than I did (7 oz.) and the same length that I was when I was born (19 1/2"). Grandma/Grandpa and Mammaw/Pappaw were there when she came home at 2:00 Saturday morning...meanwhile I was sleeping snug in my bed having no idea that my life was about to change:)
When I woke up, mommy introduced me to to Isabelle and I thought she was so cute. What was fun was being able to see everyone who came to visit!
This morning I decided to crawl up next to Isabelle and read her a book about our cousins Cailynn and Trey....I added my own ending by saying "and then Cailynn and Trey went home." She liked it!
Uncle John came to visit tonight and he always makes me laugh! We played with my cards and he pretended to fall asleep. He is so silly.
I think Isabelle is a keeper...although mom says I'm still adjusting and little more irritable than normal, I think I'm doing pretty well with my new baby sister:)
