goodbye "2-3's" room at daycare...

Thursday, Aug 20th Alicia had the her last official day in the 2-3 year old room at daycare. On Friday, Alicia and I went into her room to visit and party with the rest of her classmates and with Ms. Stacy and Mr. Jeff. We are so thankful for all that her teachers did for her and the support they've shown for Alicia. My favorite saying that probably came from her teachers this past year was this... "she's strong-willed. not stubborn.." haha.. love the new twist on that! Thanks for all the Galileo memories from that room.

Here's some of the pictures from Alicia's room's party.

Some pictures of Alicia with her friends, Carl and Lucas, who also attended Galilieo room with her. Alicia with her teachers, Mr. Jeff and Ms. Stacy.

end of summer

See guys, here's the scoop. It's like this...
First off, I'm one cool social gal. I'm cool enough that my mommy and daddy took me to their softball games this summer. Too bad they are over now, as I got to hang out with some nice friends and play. But now that the softball season is over, we can really get to relax and enjoy the rest of our summer weather and more of our nights at home. Maybe then, mommy and daddy can catch up on my blog then and fill you in on everything that has been going on in my life!! Stay tuned!

All aboard!!!

Growing update

Alicia went to her endocrinologist yesterday for a growth check. She's
been on her medicine now for about 8 weeks now. Alicia officially
weighed about 24 lbs and was 34.5 in tall. Not too bad as it was about
a 1.5-2 lb gain! Her dr would like to see abou 1.5 a month gain
though; so it sounds like a prescription for more ice cream :) keep on
growing Alicia...

first tractor ride

So the story goes like this....
A couple of weeks ago I got to go on a tractor ride with Uncle Billy. It was very fun. I think it was my first ever tractor ride. It wasn't a really big tractor, just a small lawn mower tractor.

We rode around Grandma's big yard several times. I even helped drive and use the steering wheel! No mowing the grass yet, maybe next summer.

I also got to help water flowers at great Aunt Vera and Uncle Eric's home a couple of weeks ago. Vera collected rain water in a big bucket so I dipped my watering can into the big bucket and poured water all over the flowers. I did it with no help and was very proud of being able to carry and pour the water all by myself!

Cat napping

Nice rainny day for a cat nap....
