Candy please!!

We had a very busy weekend!! Friday night Sweetpea went back to her daycare while mommy and daddy had date night. When we dropped her off she was excited to be back and got right into the toys! Saturday we did some garage saleing in the morning. Then that night we went to mass and then a chili supper for church. Today we had a cookout with one of my mom groups. Sweetpea had lots of fun with her sidewalk chalk. Daddy even let her play in the sand, which she also loved! Here's a picture of Sweetpea holding candy that Grandma and Grandpa E. sent. She is showing how mad she is that she can't have any! :)

sticker mania!

Here are a couple pictures of Sweetpea's sticker fun tonight!

Little Picasso

Sweetpea has been moving around a little bit more and she's walking a little on her leg now. So, we're guessing it was maybe a virus that is working its way out now. They didn't really find anything else. We have one more test result coming in tomorrow so we'll see for sure then if it's anything serious, but I'm just glad she's moving around now.
We went to the pumpkin festival this weekend and Sweetpea loved the pumpkin pancakes! She really wanted to ride the rides, but they weren't open yet when we were there. We did get to watch the parade go by which was fun.
Today Sweetpea has been a budding artist. She has been coloring in her coloring book and drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and on her easel. Unfortunately, she has also been coloring on the walls. I think our house is about to become very colorful! Right now she's playing with stickers and putting them all over her shirt and daddy's arm! Here's a video of Sweetpea saying "Hi" - her latest word!

poopy!!

Aunt Heather must have been telling Sweetpea some of her baby stories while she was here because Sweetpea pulled a stunt today that Heather did when she was a baby! I put Sweetpea down for a nap this afternoon and she kept talking, which she does sometimes. Then I heard Uh-oh, which is also normal. After awhile she started crying so I went in to check it out and she had gotten into her poopy diaper and there was poop all over her face, hands, body, crib...everywhere!! What a mess! I didn't get a picture because I was just in shock I think, but I'm sure you can imagine it! :)
Sweetpea has been having a rough couple of days with hospital visits to try and figure out what is wrong with her leg. She's been a real tough chick, though. Tomorrow we go in to try and get out some fluid and hopefully her leg will be back to normal. Please say some prayers for my little baby girl. Here's a video of her tonight playing with daddy.

Climbing like crazy!

Sweetpea learned how to climb up onto the ottoman, so now she gets into the big chair alot! She hasn't been able to get onto the couch yet, but I'm sure it's coming soon!

We went to the zoo yesterday and looked at all the animals. Sweetpea walked the whole route around the Africa exhibit! She really wanted to just watch the other kids, though. The animals weren't as interesting to her. :) Then we met daddy for lunch after he was done with golfing. We tried a new place called Qdoba and it was good!!

Today we closed up the pool and Sweetpea waved bye bye to the water until the summer. Here's a picture of Sweetpea last week one day after I picked her up from daycare. Her teacher does a really good job with her hair! Of course the ponytails were out by the time we got home.

Visit from Aunt Heather

We had a great visit with Aunt Heather! On Sunday we all went to the apple orchard. Sweetpea had lots of fun playing on the different vehicles (they have tractors, buses, and wooden firetrucks). She also rode on a pony for a little bit. We ate way too many sweets, though!

Today we went out for breakfast and then went to the Botanical Gardens and walked around for awhile. Sweetpea did not want her aunt to leave this afternoon! :)

Here is a video of her saying "Uh-Oh" at breakfast today.

Labor day weekend!

Finally, a long weekend! :) Aunt Heather is coming to visit today and we are very excited.

Sweetpea has been having lots of fun at daycare. She doesn't even hardly cry anymore when daddy drops her off. Instead she runs off to her toys and then turns to wave goodbye. They say she is doing a great job with signing. Although she's begun shaking her head no now at everything, even when she doesn't mean no. We are trying to get her to shake her head yes sometimes, too, but she likes to shake no.

I went to pick her up at daycare one day this week and I was looking out on the playground for her. I saw a girl that looked like her but the girl had pigtails and I know I didn't put those in Sweetpea's hair. But, it turned out that was Sweetpea! I guess during the day she kept pointing at another girl who had pigtails in her hair and then she'd point at her hair, so Miss Katie figured she wanted her hair done, which I guess she did! Of course by the time we got home she had pulled them out so I couldn't get a picture. Go figure!
