Last weekend, we went to Tuscaloosa to Visit Nana and Papa. We wore somewhat matching outfits that Mimi and Grandpa gave us and everyone at school thought that we were the cutest! When we arrived, we played outside for a little while and I ate my surprise! They like to spoil me and know that I love chocolate so m&ms were the greatest! We always have so much fun in Tuscaloosa. By the way, I know that Nana and Papa live in Tuscaloosa now!
Nana also had me a fairy princess dress up outfit with fairy wings and everything! I thought that they looked great with my new pjs! Don't I just look adorable!? Then came the extra extra mega big deal...
BIG GIRL PANTIES! Yes, that's right! I got my first pair of big girl panties and I love them. They are Dora which makes them even better! I have been doing so well with the potty that Mama and Daddy thought that it was time.
I was happy to show them off to anyone that wanted to see them. It ended up being just the thing that I needed to complete my potty training. Since I have been wearing them, I have only had 2 accidents. Way to go me!
Saturday, George wanted to dress like Daddy so they both wore Navy Shirts. He is looking more and more like Daddy or at least that is what everyone says! He is such a lap and hip baby. He is happy as long as he is hanging out with you!
George got to experience his first Popsicle that weekend and loved it to death! At first he was a little unsure since it was so cold but it did not take him too long to get used to it! He just laughed and laughed!
Good thing that I was there to show him how it was done! I would be happy to show him again, should the opportunity arise! I will take on for the team! We ate outside all weekend and just had so much fun! 
Sunday, Daddy wanted to watch the Masters so Mama took us to the Zoo after nap. Mimi and Grandpa joined us this time for their first experience with us at the zoo! I showed them everywhere that we like to go!
George usually rides in the stroller but I like to get exercise. Grandpa held my hand so that he wouldn't get lost! I do love the zoo!
The zoo has a new Gorilla now and I could not be more thrilled! Mimi and I watched it from the benches so that we could have a rest! Every time I see the gorilla though, he is not very active. Hmm, so you think it is a prop? The world may never know!
George was just happy being out of the house for the afternoon. He is usually such a happy baby when he is feeling well. This is Mama and Daddy's new favorite picture of him!
This was Mable's first zoo experience as well and I think that she really liked it! Mimi and Mama discussed have a Mable blog showcasing all of the places she gets to visit because of me! It would be called "Sisterhood of the traveling Mable" :-)
George got to experience the outside playground for the first time this week! He is such a big boy now! I will be moving up to the big girl playground next week! I guess that George and I will just talk through the fence! He loves the playground and cries when they bring him back in! This week was also the week of the child where we go to do all kinds of crazy things at school!
This weekend, we went back to Tuscaloosa to celebrate Mama and Betsy's birthday. Saturday, everyone came in town and I was so glad to have my cousins with me! They boys went to the A-Day game and had a blast! Thank you Chris!
Afterwards, we went to the Field of Dreams and then played in the back yard! It was more fun! I think that we spent the whole day outside and that it the best kind of day!
After dinner and bath, Aunt Betsy wanted to paint my nails and I was so glad to have it done! It had been weeks and they were chipped something awful! Rob watched us and eventually...
wanted to have his painted too! Can you tell which toes are mine and which ones are Rob's! Not to worry, I am sure that George and Matthew are going to want to do the same thing next year! How funny is this!?
After nail painting, it was Uncle Robert snuggle time! I have really warmed up to Uncle Robert and even laid one on him right on the lips! He is not really used to the whole girl thing since they are surrounded by boys over in LaGrange!
Matthew is quite possibly the happiest baby that I have ever met in my life! He is also a chunk and everyone just loves to squeeze him. This is Aunt Betsy's new favorite picture!
To end the night, Papa had his snuggle time with Rob and then it was time for bed! He loves it so much when all of his grandchildren are in town. It is his favorite time ever!
We decided to do birthday cake the next morning because it was so late when we finally got to it the night before. They had a Tinkerbell cake and Rob and I got to blow out the candles! 
After cake, Papa, Robert, Betsy, Rob, Matthew, Daddy, Mama, George and I went to the zoo to share Rob and Matthews first zoo experience. Again, since I am an old hat at the zoo, I showed everyone around! It was my first time to not take a nap during nap time.
In celebration of the new gorilla, I became a gorilla for a bit! Ooh Ooh Ahh Ahh! I thought it was so funny and had a blast watching everyone take their turn, including Uncle Robert!
The Lorkeet Manor was open while we were there and we were able to feed them some nectar. Rob was a little apprehensive but everyone else had a wonderful time. Matthew kept wanting to pet them! 
Then it was train time! We have never ridden the train so it was a new experience for us all! We all piled in and it was so exciting! Rob and I started off with Papa.
George rode with Mama and Daddy and had some refreshing juice during the break.
I decided that I wanted to ride in Betsy's lap during the adventure and she happily obliged! We rode all around the zoo and through the woods! I can't wait to do it again!
After see the whole zoo, we ended with the hogs! They are one of my favorite because I get to run up and down the ramp and stand on the stump. It was such a wonderful couple of weeks filled with lots of new experiences for all! I am just glad that I got to be a part of all of them!
