Oh yes...the time has come for me to move up in the world so we celebrated in my class with an End of the Year Party! Mama and Daddy are so proud of everything that I have accomplished this year and just can't believe how much I have grown. Daddy came to celebrate with me but Mama was sick so she could not come.
I know all of my animal sounds and body parts. I know the names of all of my friends and family. I can say that I am 1! I also know lots of inanimate objects! I say them with lots of enthusiasm because I love to talk!
I am able to jump...well my form of jumping. I throw my hands in air and stomp one foot but it is jumping to me and everyone loves it! I am really steady on my feet and able to climb stairs and go down them too! Dancing is my favorite so every time that I hear music start I start swaying back and forth and bouncing. I also like to sign the moves for The Wheels on the Bus and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
I love all of my friends. Even though we are all moving up together, we decided to give each other a going away hug. I love my friends! I am going to miss Miss Ora but Miss Hope will be moving up to my new class with me!!
Then came the first day of school for George and my first day in my new class! I really liked riding in the car with my brother and I was so thrilled that he was coming to school with me. Since I have been there for a while, I am going to show him the ropes. He will be so cool because all the older kids will know him because of me.
I started off my first day sharing some "a-shish" with Lily. She is one of my best friends. Daddy was sure to take lots of pictures for Mama because she ended up in the hospital with Meningitis just like George. Luckily, Daddy and I managed to stay healthy!
I was sure to introduce George to all of my friends! They quickly learned his name and call him Baby George. I am very protective of him though. I am quick to jump in front of my friends and make them back up if I think that they are getting too close.
George wore a cute John John on his first day of school. He has three teachers! Miss Yvette is his early morning caregiver and Miss Ruthia is his primary caregiver. He is in a group of 3 and the other two in his group are twins. Their Dad was George's initial pediatrician at UAB when he was born. It is such a small world!
I have also been showing interest in using the potty so Mama went to Babies R' Us and bought this singing potty just for me. At first, I thought it was a toy so I just sat on it fully clothed for a while!
Next, was the Skinner Family beach trip! We went to The Wharf down at Orange Beach! I loved the water and all of the slides! I got really good at going down them all by myself. 
Mama got to use the double stroller that she got for her birthday. I loved riding in it with George. He could kick back and relax while I sat up alert to watch out for everything! I am such a great big sister!
At the Oasis, I had fun playing with the water sprays that came out of the ground. It was raining but it wasn't raining! How cool is that?!?
My friend, Lily was there. We were really confused about the both of us being around our family's! Everyone thought that it was fun to see us play.
Rob was there too and I followed his every move! He is a great role model. He brought me a beach surprise that included goggles, a bucket, torpedoes, and cars! I love my surprise, especially since it came from "Bob!"
After all of the other kids came, I got a little intimidated on the big slide so I started going down the little one. It was just my speed and I could do it over and over again very quickly.
Mama had fun walking me through the pool and under the waterfall. At first, I was not so sure about the water but by the end, I was running all through it!
Daddy had fun playing with me in the baby pool. It is not your run of the mill baby pool! It is an extra special baby pool!! We also took a trip to the beach and after about 30 minutes, I warmed up to and was a sand shoveling fool! I must take after my Daddy in the aspect of my life since Mama would not touch it at my age!
Rob and I had fun playing in the Alabama car outside all of the restaurants. I let Rob drive since he is older. I will drive for Matthew next year and then Matthew can drive for George.
To end the weekend, we rode the Ferris Wheel and it was so wonderful! I got to ride with my Aunt Betsy, Rob, Mama and Papa! I was not scared at all and loved waving at Uncle Robert, Nana and Daddy down on the ground! I also ate dippin dots for the first time! Thank you family for a wonderful week!
When we got back, we went to the park to play for a little bit. I ate my snack on the bench next to G. I get a silly look on my face when he sits next to me. He likes going to the park because he loved being outside!
The next day, we played on the couch for a while. I am a really good sharer so I let him play with my favorite lovey which happens to be Ducky for the moment. I also love my "Aff (Giraffe)."
I like to share my snacks with Daddy. I get really tickled when he eats crackers out of my hands so of course he does it because he loves my laugh. I have him wrapped!
George is now 3 months old and getting bigger every day! He is really smiling and even giggling a little. His legs are really strong so if you hold him, you better hold on! His head control is almost perfect so he doesn't bob around as much anymore.
He went to Mimi and Grandpa's house for the first time so he has to check everything out. He has heard me talk about how much fun I have over there and he is looking forward to getting to stay over there himself! Maggie was excited to meet her new nephew.
After looking over the inside of the house. He went outside for a peek. He really liked all of the bright colors and the warm breeze from the fan. He just sat there and chilled for a while...well as chilled as you can be in 95 degree heat!
Just in case you did not know, I am giving garden tours now so you can contact my agent if you would like to participate.
Boy how George has changed in the first three months of his life! Every day he gets bigger and stronger and does more! It makes Mama a little sad because time flies by so fast! Daddy and her feel like it was just yesterday that I was G's age and look at me now!
Even though we are growing like weeds before every one's eyes, we will always be Mama and Dada's babies!
To end this weeks blog, I have a picture of George wearing one of the Onsies that Uncle David bought for me. I am letting George borrow it for a little bit. It has been a busy couple of weeks but so much fun! I love my new class! I loved the beach! I love my life!!
