May 2012

May has been such a fun month! Sylvia had her 1 month check up and the doctor said she is looking great. She was 21.5 inches long, weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and her head circumfernce was 14 inches. Mommy says she is a little peanut compared to me and Liam at that age. Liam and I love having her as our little sister. Liam gives her at least 100 kisses a day and wants to hold her all the time. I like to hold her too and talk to her. I have been asking mom why she has a mouth if she can't talk and why does she have feet if she can not walk. Mommy says she will learn to do all of those things. Sylvia is holding her head up better and started to smile and make what mommy calls baby noises. Mommy and Daddy are now "out numbered", as Daddy would say, since Grandma Nancy and Grandpa John went back to Ohio. I have to say they are doing a good job so far. We have made it to school on time every morning and have had dinner every night. I have been making it to my swim classes and we are all still alive LOL. We went to Chucky Cheese for Brianna's birthday and it was so much fun. I love going there and it made me very excited for my birthday. I moved up to the 4 year old class room and was very excited about it. Liam is saying some more words like Sylvia, Bear and Yes. Liam's favorite word is still "No" which he says for almost anything even if he wants it. Liam and I love to help out in the kitchen cooking, washing dishes and cleaning the floors. We had our first "family of 5 outing". We went to Costco and needed 2 carts. Mommy called it a success because we left with all the groceries we came for and Daddy said it was because we left with all 3 kids. The check out lady said that Liam and I were such good kids! We celebrated Mother's Day by making breakfast and cards for Mommy. We also had a web conference with both sides of the family. It was the first time Auntie T, Aunt Jeanne, Great Grandma Eveslage and my cousins Emme and Leah saw Sylvia. Aunt Kori and Mason came to town for my birthday and to meet Sylvia. We had so much fun when they were here. We swam in the pool, went to the train park, movie nights, smores, and camping (indoors). I also had my birthday party at Build a Bear. I made a penguin who I named Bear and Liam made a black bear who he named EIEIO. I had a princess cake with a pink dress because I love princesses. Mommy and Daddy gave me a doll house which is fun to play with even though Liam keeps taking the furniture and stairs out. As Aunt Kori said we did a years worth of fun in 4 days! Since I just turned 4 I wanted to do a recap of the things I learned and did when I was 3. I went to The Beach for the 2nd time in my life and it was so much fun. I went camping and skiing for the first time. I am able to count to 30 and know how to write my name. I know my address and birthday. My favorite color is pink and my favorite animal is a horse. When I grow up I would like to be a teacher. My favorite princess is Snow White and Tangled. My favorite mermaid is Ariel. I love using Daddy's I Pad. Juice is my favorite drink. I love going to movies to eat popcorn. I took soccer, swimming and gymnastic classes. I like to do a art project every day. I also learned how to peddle my tricycle and can dress myself. I still like to do puzzles, dance, and play music. I am every excited to be 4 and to learn new things this year!
