Hello again.

We've been busy, and kind of forgot about the blog for a while. A lot has changed since the last time we talked, so here are a few of my (current) favorite things:

I had a birthday and, more importantly, a birthday party. It was awesome. There is no doubt in my mind that a birthday party is the most fun you can have, whether it's yours or someone else's.

For my birthday, I got a bounce house. While I sometimes enjoy bouncing by myself, it's much better with company.

I love singing - to myself, my dolls, Mommy and Daddy...anyone that will listen. I sometimes sing even when no one is listening. (This is the song from Sleeping Beauty.)

Speaking of Sleeping Beauty, I love princesses. But really, who doesn't? (This video is several months old, so my stories have gotten much more involved - Princess Daddy usually plays with his friend, Princess Lucy these days. They like to "play toys.")

I love baby dolls. This is the cast of characters who sleeps with me every night, all together, up at the top of the bed (L-R:Dopey, Baby Miss Iva-she's naked and doesn't have any clothes which is very awkward because she was named after my teacher, Big Baby, Pocket Baby, Baby Sasha, and Dolly). I will not sleep unless everyone is where they are supposed to be.

Hide and seek. Best game ever.

And last, but definitely not least, I love accessories. Hats, fancy shoes, sunglasses, purses, "bra-ce-lets," rings-you name it, and I will wear it.

Some interesting conversations...

I am quite the chatterbox these days. This morning, when we went to the kitchen for breakfast, the conversation went like this:

Me (in a sad, pouty little voice): "Some cookies?"
Mommy: "No, we're not going to have cookies for breakfast. Would you like an egg sandwich?"
Me (still sad and pouty): "No."
Mommy: "Would you like a muffin?"
Me (as sad as I could make it): "No. Like pancakes."

Of course, I got the pancakes :-)

A little while later, as Mommy was helping me put on my jeans, I looked at her and said, "I LOVE you." (Emphasizing the "love." A first! Daddy says Mommy is bragging on this one, but I have said I love you to Daddy before, just not to Mommy.)

Happy Halloween!

Hammertime

I've got some sweet moves to go along with this. (The song, not the spaghetti.)

Pumpkin Patch

Penguin

I totally know how to walk like a penguin. Sometimes I like to watch Mommy and Daddy embarrass themselves for a while before I play along. This particular episode took place as half a dozen plumbers working in our backyard watched.

Bath Time with Daddy!

Woohoo!

Peace Out, Homies

Sometimes you just gotta dance

I really don't even need music to dance.  Sometimes I just feel the music.

Turkey Trot

The only thing I like more than running is dancing, so you can imagine how excited I was to go out dancing Saturday night.  I picked up a couple of new moves from some other kids, but the backbone of my routine is totally original - Daddy calls it the "Turkey Trot."
