Fair Parade!

From Theodore Elial 13-15 Months

The fair is in town!! Do you know what that means? Fun animals to see, a rodeo, concerts, demolition derby, and more!

From Theodore Elial 13-15 Months

Today that meant a parade. So we went. Guess what we saw?

I liked the music and dancers! (and candy!)

I love my brother!

From Meredith Jane 34-36 Months

We don't get too many pictures of my brother and me together. We're just too busy to sit down at the same time. Today you're lucky, because Theo and I took a quick break while at the park to sit with each other. I love him so much! We share our toys (most of the time) and even play with each other. Isn't that great?

I'm Three Years Old Today!

From Meredith Jane 34-36 Months

I may have had my birthday party early with my friends, but that doesn't mean I didn't get to celebrate my birthday today. We went to the park and played on the playground! It was so much fun! I even got to play with my Daddy even though it was a Monday!

I even kept on my sunglasses to complete my glam-girl look for the day!

Naptime for the dolls

From Meredith Jane 34-36 Months

I decided since I wasn't taking a nap, that I would have my dolls take a nap. I even found Theo's sleep sacks to make sure Abby and baby was comfortable. Do you think they're sleeping yet?

Hello from the Friendly Theo!

From Theodore Elial 13-15 Months

Hello, Daddy! How's it going? Do you want to play with me on the playground? It is so much fun! I even go down the same slides as Meredith... sometimes you even let me go down by myself!

From Theodore Elial 13-15 Months

Hello, over there! Do you want to be my friend? I'm a nice kid, I like to play, and I love waving!

Making the Dentist Proud

From Meredith Jane 34-36 Months

Meredith and I love brushing our teeth. Meredith asks Mama and Daddy to brush her teeth all the time. If I'm lucky enough to time things right, I get to brush my teeth too! Here we are brushing our teeth. We need to keep these teeth clean and white for all the future pictures and smiles!

My Abby Birthday

From Meredith Jane 3rd Birthday

Next to Elmo, Abby is my FAVORITE Sesame Street character. So guess what I got for my birthday??

An Elmo toy phone (that even remembers my name) and an Abby doll! How great is that! Boy am I excited to play with my birthday gifts! I think I'll even sleep with Abby tonight. I like snuggling with my stuffed toys.

Thanks to my friends Aurelia and Zachary for going to Sea World with me and then coming home for dinner and a party!

Happy Birthday to Me! (early)

From Meredith Jane 3rd Birthday

Since we're moving to Washington state in just a little over a week, my Mama and Daddy thought it would be good to have my birthday party early with my friends. Aren't my Mama and Daddy smart?!

We went to Sea World first. We played in the sand box and went to see the dolphin show, but it was HOT and crowded, so we came home after that. Then we ate dinner and opened presents! I love birthdays! I even was singing "Happy Birthday to me!" in the car on the way home from Sea World!

Guys?? Don't forget about me!

From Theodore Elial 13-15 Months

I'm still here too! The last time you saw me, I was getting my hair cut. I didn't like it much, but I got over it quickly.

I'm officially a toddler. I don't need any help getting around anymore. If I want to get somewhere, well, get out of my way, because I'm already on my way! I'm even able to get up and down stairs all by myself!

I'm also learning all kinds of new signs. I am starting to learn animals -- like gorilla, lion, cat, and bird. I'm watching the color signs show with Meredith, but I haven't really started signing those yet. I'm even starting to speak some words. Words like throw, ball, truck, dog, wow, and of course Mama!

Where have I been??

From Meredith Jane 34-36 Months

It has been over a month since there was a post here. Where have I been??? I must be slacking!

Well here is a new post and picture.

Hmm... now what have I been doing...

I'm doing the normal toddler thing. Running around and having fun. What was the most fun thing, you ask?

Well, I rode the Shamu roller coaster at Sea World yesterday with my Daddy! I liked the first time around the track, but I got scared on the second. That didn't stop me from being adventurous, though! I went climbing through the cargo net tubes around the kids play area all by myself. These aren't just a little bit off the ground... no, they definitely hang 30 feet or more in the air! And I went through them all by myself -- twice! I didn't want to leave to go see the dolphin show, but I went anyway.

Hopefully it doesn't take another month for me to make another post!
