Wow a lot has happened over the past month or so! We have been crazy busy and I have so many new and exciting things to tell you all about.
First of all - I officially moved into my big girl bed! I have been in it a few weeks now and the transition is going OK. I have learned how to get out of it...but can't quite climb back into it...so I am still getting used to it. I LOVE napping in it though, so I know night time sleep will get better in the next week or so...fingers crossed!
Enough room for me and Daddy to nap together
In addition to my big girl bed...I have started using the POTTY! It's true. I still wear diapers and don't go on the potty all the time but I use the potty a few times a day and feel like such a big girl! I know it would help mommy a lot if I could be potty trained by the time my sister gets here but I am not sure that will happen...haha!
School is going well still! I love my teachers and have so much fun when I am there! Recently we had a Build your own Kite contest and Daddy helped me with mine. We made a really simple kite out of plain computer paper and I decorated it and guess what?!? I Won first place for the Best Flying Kite! I guess simple can be best!
Breakfast with my classmates
We also had an Easter Egg Hunt at school. Our teachers helped us make baskets and helped us practice hunting. My whole class did such a good job and found way more eggs than the toddlers!
Very focused on finding the good eggs!
On top of school, I have started going to Gymboree once a week and I LOVE it! It is so much fun. All the climbing, sliding, jumping, parachuting, etc that I can handle! I have had two classes so far and I can't wait till the next one!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday last week which was really fun. I helped him open his presents and we went out to eat which was fun. Then Friday night we had a big cook out at the house and I got to meet so many new friends. I played with Riley, Hollis, John Houston, Tennyson, Anne Barrett and then I met two sweet babies - Haddie and Mills. We had so much fun! Everyone was so nice and I can't wait to see them all again!
Hanging with Anne Barrett...she is going to be a big girl like me!
Daddy's birthday also happened to fall on Easter Weekend so after our fun filled cook-out, the next day I got to wake up and go to an Easter Egg hunt at Yummy's house (that is Mills' grandma). I got to see Tennyson and Mills again and even met a new friend names Windsor. She was a lot of fun. I was very focused on egg hunting and even found the golden egg! I had a lot of fun playing of course. Then when I left there I got to go home and see Grandma and Grandpa Frericks. They came to spend the night with us and celebrate Easter. We had a fun night and a great Easter day going to church, dying eggs and eating a great meal. Overall, it was a very exciting weekend!

Happy Easter!
Dying eggs!
I am learning more and more words every day and my vocabulary is getting so big. I love calling Maysie and pretending to talk to SueSue, BooBoo and Maggie on the phone. I can say my cousin's names and my teachers and classmates names too! It is fun to learn new words by repeating after mommy and daddy. I am also still loving to eat of course. This past weekend alone I tried for the first time and loved fried calamari, lamb, pasta salad, hard boiled eggs and some Easter candy of course! I am still big into fruit...especially grapes these days, but I will try just about anything!
Other than our full weekend of festivities, we went back to the doctor to check on my baby sister, We got an ultrasound and I got to see a picture of my sister on the screen. She looks just like me according to mommy. We also found out that mommy is 31 weeks along but my sister is measuring between 33 and 34 weeks...so she could come as early as May 23 instead of June 6. She already weighs about 5 lbs and she hasn't even gone through her big growth spurt which happens the last month they say! So, we go back in two weeks and then again 2 weeks after that and will get another ultrasound to check her growth! I am getting so excited to meet her!
31 Weeks...measuring almost 34 weeks
My Baby Sister...she looks just like me!
I guess that is all for now. Here is a link to some new pics of our celebrations and fun times!
