Look, I can dress myself...sort of.

And, I can help cook (eat)...

This is my kind of helping out, finger lickin help!

July 4th

We had a super busy 4th of July Weekend. It started with a BBQ at our friend Bella's house. It was so much fun. She has a very super cool rocking horse that I couldn't get enough of.

And a parachute!! We all loved that. Here I am with Victoria, Grace, Bella, and my cousin Kim.

My cousin Kim and I blew bubbles for about an hour. Thankfully she is super patient and didn't mind that I dumped most of the bubbles on her.

4th of July dinner before fireworks and smores with the neighbors. But soon after this shot it was bedtime so I don't really remember the fireworks, smores, or the neighbors!

Butterfly Pavilion

We took Brianna's cousin Kim to the Butterfly Pavilion and made her hold Rosie the tarantula!

Then we touched some starfish and crabs. Kim helped me.

No worries, this is a fake crab!

Kim leaves tomorrow and we sure are going to miss her!

My Cousin Kim

My cousin Kim is in town visiting us! Here she is with daddy watching me swim in my pool!

She is great at playing!

And I am great at swimming!

More pool time!

Playing in my pool again!

It has a very wobbly slide!

I am not sure what I think of the sprinkler. But it is funny to stick my butt in it.

And it takes a long time to fill up a bucket with the sprinkler, especially when I won't get to close!

Pool Fun

I got a new pool! All I want all day long is to play in it and bring all my toys out to play too.

Doesn't matter how cold the water is, I want to play in it.

Chris the neighbor is dumping water on my head. Yup, his dad yelled at him but I thought it was funny!

Fun with Friends

We were taking a walk with my friends Grace and Sophie and found some furry dogs!

Then we went back to Sophie's house to chase bubbles!

No play date is complete if we don't pig out. This time we were cute and sat at the table!

The new Nursery!

We are almost finished with the new babies bedroom! Brianna helped out a lot and I don't think Daddy could have done it with out her - at least that is what Brianna thinks. Brianna is loving all the new "toys". She personally thinks the bouncy seat is a great recliner for herself. And although she would love the opportunity to ride in the swing herself she is making do with just giving the teletubbies a ride.

Brianna and Daddy chalking the walls to paint the squares on!

The finished wall. We painted the whole room the lighter pink color and then did this to just one wall. The little squares Brianna decided to stick on the walls to give her own personal touch. Somehow they all disappeared during the night and we can't find the little squares anywhere now! Hmmm...who is the square thief I wonder??

We had a little bit of belly excitement over the weekend. I started having cramps on Saturday and they went on all day long. Towards later evening they became really regular and were coming every 10 minutes. After about two hours and a phone call to the neighbor for reassurance, they just stopped! The doctor had me come in this morning for a checkup. It looks like I am measuring at my predicted due date (July 8) which is a week ahead of the doctors original due date (July 18). I am also dilated to 1 cm. Unfortunately I could stay this way for a whole month....but I have keep my hopes high for sooner than that! (although not before cousin Kim comes to visit...we need someone to stay with Brianna! Thank God we have a great neice!)

Brianna and her friends Bella and Grace at Gymnastics after getting their medals for finishing the class! (Yup I stole this picture from Angela's Blog!)

I went to go visit my Cousin M and my Aunt and Uncle! First day there we saw the Easter Bunny and rode on a train! (And we had matching hairdo's!)

They had a cool area to play in at the mall...I didn't last long. Here is M picking me up after falling.

My aunt has a cool park by her house and we had so much fun playing there. They had a car and a plane plus a huge play structure.

Here we are with M's grandpa (my uncle) playing!

Before we left to come home we had an Easter Egg hunt. M was soooo nice! She helped fill my bucket for me. She was super fast at it and all I wanted to do was eat the candy :)
