Bumbo and Arts, Beats, and Eats

I was such a big girl and had my third haircut ever! I did so well, though Mama had to bribe me with a lollipop.




Over Labor Day weekend, we were super busy. We went to the Arts, Beats and Eats Festival, which took place in downtown Royal Oak. I got to jump in a bounce house for a looooong time. I was jumping so high and far. But then the air came out of it and the roof came down on us, but we were all okay.


Charlie slept though most of the excitement, but woke up occasionally to see the action. I don't have a picture of it, but Mama and I shared some gelato and it was soooooo delicious! Who knew that gelato doesn't have eggs in it?


Charlie is big enough to sit in a bumbo chair now! He is such a big boy!


And look who showed Charlie how it's done!


Charlie is doing so well. At his 4 month appointment, he weighed 17 pounds 11 ounces and is 26 1/2 inches long. The doctor called him PERFECT and said that he is perfectly proportioned and has the cutest rolls ever!




I still want to roll over Charlie, but occasionally I am gentle enough to have spend some quality time with my brother.

My First Day of Pre-School!

Today I went to pre-school!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE pre-school!

We woke up super early - 7am - and we were out the door before 8. Papa even came to my school on his motorcycle to see me off.




I was the first kid in class! I got right to playing. My teacher Ms. Emily said she knew I was going to love my new routine.


There are only 6 kids in my class. I hugged Alexander, who is quite cute, and had no problems making friends. When Mama came to pick me up, she took this picture of Ms. Emily reading to us. Note that I am the only kid not sitting down. Hey, I am a mover and shaker - what can I say?


When we left school, I was sad and told Mama "more school!" Mama promises we will go back tomorrow, and she also said she'd make macaroni and cheese for lunch, so I agreed to go home.

Happy 4 Months Cha-Choo!

My little baby brother is 4 months old today! Charlie's pediatrician appointment isn't until later this week, so I will update his stats then. Isn't he just the cutest????




In the meantime, there is sooooo much going on! The week before last, we went to an evening concert at the zoo! We met some friends and I got to dance to the music and hang with my friends.







We went back to Booth Park too last weekend and Papa and I took a long walk through the woods.


We had a good time watching the ducks and just goofing around!
.

Then we headed to the playground and I played with the big kids and played soccer with Papa.


Mama takes me and Charlie up to the park near our house quite often so I can run around and play. I love to dig in the mulch, chase other kids, and swing. I really really want to climb up the bars, but I'm not big enough yet :-(


Here's some pics of me and Charlie just playing and being silly!
