Well we have had a pretty crazy past few months...where to start. Mommy always says when "it rains, it pours" and that has been true for us. We had a rough few weeks last month and this month. All within a few weeks of each other we had to buy a new HVAC unit, I got a double ear infection, all three of us got the stomach flu and Daddy had nose surgery to fix his deviated septum....man did it "pour" on us! But we made it through all of that and seem to be on the up and up thankfully.
So enough about the not fun stuff...here is a little update on the fun things we have done:
First of all, I have to give a shout-out to my new friend Mills Hailey Kopf. She was born earlier this month and I got to go meet her in the hospital. She is so cute and I can't wait until she gets a little older so we can play together. I can already tell we are going to be buddies.

| Making Valentine Cookies for my class |
School is still going well for me. I love my teacher Miss Sheri and have already learned to say her name. I am getting very good at talking and can repeat just about any word. Some new words I have added to my vocab are: Maysie, shoe, sock, snack, treat, Sheri, Ella, bird (anything in the sky is a bird - even a plane) and many more. I have also learned a few new signs as well: different, gentle, Grandfather, Grandmother and Grandparents and help. I am very good at communicating what I want/need which makes it so much easier on Mommy and Daddy. I also really like to sit anywhere and pat the space next to me to ask you to sit with me. Sometimes I pat it and say your name or I will pat and say "see" which means you should come sit next to me.

| Sitting with Daddy at the Park |
It seems that winter is over in Nashville as it has been 80 degrees here for the past few weeks so we have spent a lot of time at the park. I LOVE the park. I especially like to swing and go down the slides - although I only go down feet first on my stomach...what a daredevil. I also like to play with the "Big" kids at the park and in my neighborhood. I have a bunch of new friends in the neighborhood - well they are all older than me but they are very sweet to me and let me watch them play basketball in the cul-de-sac. I have also become good friends with Ava Grace and Caleb across the street. They let me jump on their mini-trampoline and play with all their push toys. I am very big into riding my "bike" and pushing my baby stroller - or any stroller really. I guess that is good so I can be a good big sister come June.

| Just swinging |
As you know I am going to be a big sister in June and I am very excited about it. I love giving Mommy's belly kisses and I can even say "sister" - although I don't really know what that means. A few weekends ago Mommy and Daddy took me shopping for big girl furniture. I get to move to a big girl queen size bed in a few weeks so my little sister can have my crib. I can't wait to have all that space since when I stretch out in my crib I take up just about the whole thing. I guess that is what happens when you grow to 34 inches long at just 16 months!
Mommy wanted me to tell you that she had her 28 week check-up today and everything looks good so far. The doctor said that her belly is measuring at 30 weeks so she is about 2 weeks too large! But according to her doctor, Mommy is "prone to giant babies" (Literally the doctor said that...in front of me...I guess I should have been offended but oh well) so she is not that worried about it yet. We go back in 3 weeks for an ultrasound check up which means I get to see more pictures of my sister! I can't wait to see how big she is and find out exactly when I get to meet her in person!

| 24 weeks |

| 28 Weeks...but measuring 30 weeks...how will she last for another 12 weeks? |
I guess that is all for now. Next week Mommy and Daddy are going out of town for work trips and SueSue, BooBoo and Maggie are coming to keep me for four days! I am so excited b/c I LOVE Maggie! We are going to have a lot of fun I can already tell. We also have a trip planned to Atlanta to watch my cousins play baseball and soccer and to celebrate SueSue's birthday which will be awesome. We have to travel now b/c come May, Mommy isn't allowed to travel anymore since my sister will be arriving June 6.
