And Then There Were Two!

Howdy, Pardners!

Since I last blogged, there's a new kid on the block! My new little sister, Olivia Jane, was born on July 8th at 3:31 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long! She even has her own blogsite!

Ditty and Grammy came down to help Mommy and Daddy during the days before and after Olivia arrived. We had lots of fun! Daddy took us over to his new office building where he works. It's right across the street from the building where we live, so we get to see him on his lunch hour and he doesn't have to work outside anymore!

We spent lots of time in the swimming pool and I showed everybody how I can go underwater by myself! I like to jump off the side and kick my legs. It helps to keep cool when you're in the pool!

Grammy read me lots of books while she was here. I think my favorite has Grover in it and it's called, "There's A Monster At The End Of This Book!" Even though I've heard it read to me lots of times and I know how it's going to end, I still like it!

Know what? When Mommy had Olivia in the hospital, Daddy gave me a brand new baby of my very own! She came with a bottle of milk and a bottle of apple juice and a little carrier to hold her in. Now, when Mommy carries Olivia around, I can carry my baby around, too!

I really love Olivia and have learned to be gentle with her. She's not as tough as I am, so I have to be careful when I'm hugging and kissing her. Grammy got me a shirt that says, "I'm the Big Sister" and a matching one for Olivia that says, "I'm the Little Sister." They're so cute!

They had to go home after a while, but they promised to come back for my birthday in October. And we're going to see them for Christmas! It'll be Santa time before you know it!

Love ya,

Happy Mother's Day!

I hope you had a Happy Mother's Day, all you moms out there! We sure did!

We got to go spend the night at Grandma's house and have dinner with her and everything! (Did you know she's a mommy, too?) Then, this morning, we all went to church with her. I love her and Grandpa very much!

Today was kind of sad, too, because Uncle Mike and Aunt Laura moved down the street and we won't see them in the hallway as much as we used to. But, at least they're still nearby! Know what? They just got two little kittens! They are so cute and I got to play with them while they were moving!

Mommy called Grammy today to wish her a Happy Mother's Day and I got to talk to her and Granddaddy on the telephone! I can say my name, Da-da and Ma-ma real good now!

Last week, Mommy babysat for a two-month-old and it was so much fun! I liked to point at his toes, hands, tummy, and hair and I told Mommy what I was pointing to! Then, I pointed to MY toes, hands, tummy and hair and did it all over again! The only thing I didn't like was when the baby started crying and I didn't know what to do! My doll baby doesn't cry, no matter what happens! Anyway, I can't wait until my new baby sister, Olivia, is born in a couple of months so we can play together all the time!

Know what? My Daddy's going to be a Doctor! Mommy says he won't be the kind that works in a hospital, but he's going to go to school to get something called a PhD. I don't know what that is, but it must be a secret because every time the grownups want to keep a secret, they start spelling things instead of saying them! But, first, Daddy says he's going to take a year off from school after he gets his Master's Degree and he'll have more time to play with me! (I hope having all those degrees doesn't mean he'll have a fever!)

I hope you have a good week and I've got some room for some more Easter pictures below.

Love you!
