I LOVE Make-up, Ponytails, Water and Bows

I thought that I would spend this blog telling you all of the things that I love to do! To begin, one of my new favorite things to do is to take Mama's makeup bag out of her purse and then take everything out of it and put it back. I have learned to open the makeup and put it on. Everything goes on my cheeks no matter what it is. I tried to put some on G but put some on Mama and Daddy instead.
Here is George at 4 months. He is close to rolling over and it still getting bigger everyday. He has started sleeping in his crib without the Moses Basket. It was a really hard transition for Mama because she is sad that he is growing so fast.
Since my hair is so long now, I love to wear my hair in a ponytail. Mama and Daddy like it too but they think that it makes me look a lot older. I also LOVE my lovey's and "Hashie (passy.)"
I love to say "cheese" for the camera now but the only problem is this is what my face looks like when I say it. I have not gotten the hang of saying cheese and smiling at the same time quite yet but I am sure that I will soon!
I love to help my brother learn about the toys that I let him borrow. Tante gave me this when I was little so I told him that he could use it for a little while. I will turn on the music and lights for him and then turn on the vibrating seat. I am such a great helper.
I love the pool! Luckily, Miss Heather invited me and Mama to be their guest at the Jewish Community Center. I walked around the baby pool, splashed about, ate goldfish and just had fun in general.
My BFF, Georgia Jayne AKA "GA" was there and we have the same float. We are two peas in a pod! She shared her snacks with me. Morris Gee was there too but we did not get a picture with him though.
The next weekend, Mama and Daddy helped host a party for James, George's future best friend so we both got to spend the night with Mimi and Grandpa together for the first time. George had fun watching me play outside while hanging out with Grandpa.
Mama and Daddy forgot to pack my bathing suit so I got to swim in my clothes! I thought that was super funny. I had fun in my baby pool with all of my toys. George is too little to play in the pool yet but he does not have too long to wait.
After bath time, it was time to play again. I did my usual round of fun. I love to play with all of the silver on their shelves. I also love all of my toys and the little chairs around their house. Grandpa and I spent time building towers together.
Then I settled into going to bed mode by reading a few chapters in my favorite books. I also love books and love to be read to. I know the names of several of my books now and can pick them out if you ask for them.
As you can tell, I love bows! I get a little obsessive about them after I take my bath. I like to put them all in my hair still. I am such a girl. Then it was the end of the day and everyone was plum worn out! As you can see in this picture, George still loves his thumb!
The next morning we got up and spent the morning playing and then Mimi and grandpa brought us back after nap. Mimi was there all weekend but she was just taking all of the pictures. I hope to take some with her next time.
Like, I said before, I love to play with Mama's make-up and as you can see I have lipstick all over my cheeks! I am the perfect makeup artist for a clown!
I love my brother's smile! It brightens everyone's day! He is much more of a smiley baby than I was. He has some of the cutest clothes thanks to Aunt Betsy and Emily!
Sunday, we when over to Mary Beyer, Paul, Elizabeth and Sullivan's house to play in the sprinkler and water table. It was so much fun! Jack came over and we ate Popsicles and drank juice all afternoon! I love my friends!

To end my love blog, I am going to tell you what I love the most! I love that I have so many people that love me and my brother! We are so lucky! Thank you everyone for loving us so much! See you next time!

New Swing Set Just For Me and George!

Over the past several weeks, our lives have been turned upside down with all of the illness going around and this weekend was no different. Mama now has pneumonia and has been really sick. She went to the doctor though and is getting better every day. Because she has been sick, Daddy took us out of the house and we went to Mimi and Grandpa's for a visit.
We went for a stroll around the lake. I like to see the ducks! I can even make the same sound that they make.
When we got home, it was nap time for me and George and Daddy spent some quality time together. He likes spending time with Daddy.
Even though he is getting bigger every day, he is still so little! I think that it is funny to see him next to Daddy! That night, Daddy shared my sofa and we snuggled a little bit. I went through a phase where I did not like to snuggle at all but now you may get a few minutes out of me here and there. Mama and Daddy love my snuggles!
Then came the BEST day! Mimi and Grandpa surprised me with my very own swing set...well, it is mine until Georgie is old enough to play on it. It is the biggest bestest swing set in the whole world and it is mine!
First I thought that I would try out the swing to she how it was. It was everything I ever dreamed of! There are three swings for each stage. I am in the intermediate swing. George will be in the baby swing!
Then I climbed up in my fort and tried out the new slide. I feel so big when I am in my fort. I can climb the ladder all by myself. The slide is so much fun!
I of course had a very attentive audience as usual. Everyone loved to see how excited I was about my new toy!
After a while, I kicked off my shoes and decided that I just wanted to climb the slide. I was not thrilled about the way that the grass felt on my feet though. I guess I get that from my Mama. Thank you Mimi and Grandpa for such a wonderfully fun gift!! I am sure that you will get your money's worth of play out of it!
Lately, George has been watching me eat dinner. I have been trying to give him some pointers for when he starts his rice cereal in a couple of months. I like spending time with my little brother.
Here is George at 3 1/2 months. He so alert. He loves to smile and is a very laid back baby. Can you believe how big he is?!?!
