Happy Birthday Shrek & Food Network Star!

As you all know, I have a really adorable little brother named George. Well he has started to want to do everything that I do, including wearing my dress up heals. Yes, this is a very proud moment for Daddy! If you want more of George in my shoes, check out the new video posted to the right. It is probably the funniest thing you have seen in a while! Daddy told George to tell him when he was ready to do his first plie!I really love my Daddy! He is still my number one but Mama is starting to make her way back in. Things are becoming more like 65/35 from my end which is good for everyone involved! By the way, I tried to go to the movies for the first time but after Mama finally got me in the theater, they tied up Buzz Lightyear and it pushed me over the edge. I made it about 15 minutes but I got treat treats and popcorn out of it!
Last weekend, when we got out of school, we headed over to Lagrange for Robert's birthday. On the way there, George saw Mama eating some chips so guess who took over the eating for her. He made a mess but it kept him happy. Well, that and 4 boxes of raisins. Guess who did not have any trouble pooping for the next couple of days! On a related note, George will tell you when it is time for a diaper change now!George and I do a great job of keeping each other occupied. We are best friends and I would not have it any other way! We really like to hold hands in the car. It is much easier in Dad's car though! By the way, I can tell you that Nana and Papa live in Tuscaloosa, that I live in Birmingham and that Rob lives in LaGrange.
When we got there, we played, ate and then had Birthday Cake! Rob said that it was Shrek's birthday so that is what the cake said. I really like birthday cake. George is not a big fan of the sweets. We all took turns blowing out the birthday candles. I wonder if those wishes count.
The next day, we decided to stay one more night so that we could have fun with our cousins! We went to the pool but the concrete was really hot so Mama has to bring out the hose. We took turns spraying each other. Papa even got in the pool with us! That morning we ate at IHOP! That night, everyone was wired so we wrestled, jumped and played until way past my bed time!
Rob let me wear his Spiderman outfit. It made me feel really special and big to be like Rob! This is one of Mama's new favorite pictures! It is really funny if you flip it upside down!
We ended the night making a palate on the floor and we all laid down to settle down. Well, except George! He played with the wire block thing for a bit and then he went down a little early. Rob got to lay in the middle the day before so I got to lay in the middle that night! It was a fun weekend and I am glad that Uncle Robert had a great day!
Last Thursday, I spent the night with Mimi and Grandpa for my traditional Thursday night stay so that Mama could study. When I got there after school, Mimi assisted me in making star cookies for our teachers at school. I am really getting good at baking...like My cousin Sarah! I could stir the batter all by myself!
Then we rolled it our and I used the cookie cutter to make lots and lots of stars. It takes technique but I have it down pat. I have practice when it comes to making my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Mama can't believe how big I look in the pictures. I keep telling her that I am a big girl now!
Then it was time for the most important part, the decorations! We put vanilla frosting on the top and then added colored sprinkles. They were a huge hit at school and our teachers loved them. They do so much for us everyday, it is nice to give them back a little.
There are some baby birds that have hatched right outside their front door. I like to look at them but know not to touch them because if I do, the mama will not come back. We also have to be very quiet around them. I wonder if those are the same birds that sleep in my hair every night.
After dinner, I got in touch with my nature side and did a little nude gardening. I might as well take advantage of it while I still can. Mimi even gave me my bath outside, which was so much fun! It is fun to do things out of the ordinary every once in a while.
All of that playing made me thirsty so I took a quick refreshing drink from the hose. I love the water! I can't wait until next year when I get to take swim lessons! I think that I should have been a fish. When we came inside, I read some books, watched Diego, and sang with Mimi in the rocking chair, but it was still hard for me to go to sleep. I have been wanting to stay up later and later. I got that from my Mama. At least I get to take my books to bed with me!
