I am a big girl now.

I can use sign language to ask for what I want.
When I want you to pick me up, I raise up my hands and smile.
When I want a drink, I sign 'drink'.
When I want more of something, I sign 'more'.
When you give me something, I sign 'thank you'.
When I want more of what you gave me, I sign 'please'.
And when I am finished eating or playing or peeing, I sign 'all done'.

I love my brothers and sisters.
Emily tickles me and makes me laugh.
Molly takes me into her room lets me play with her babies.
Riley plays 'peek-a-boo' with me.
Avery reads me books and asks for kissses, constantly!
Bradley talks baby talk to me.
Colby carries me around outside and shows me the birds, flowers, and cars driving by.
Timothy brushes my teeth.

I am learning how to talk.
I can point to Daddy and say, "Da-da!"
I can point to Mommy and say, "Da-da!"
And I can even point to cats and dogs and say, "Da-da!"

My family loves me.
My friends love me.
Most of all, Jesus loves me.

I am The Birthday Girl.

Eric and I could not stop laughing. He was turning the bike around and his flip-flops were sliding on the sandy garage floor. Why this was so funny, I'm still not sure, but Auntie Rita- these are for you!

The Chopper.

From the front.

The REAL chopper.

The real deal.

Netting some bass at Good Ole' Joe.

Avery and his silly clams.

Unsure about that kiss.

Yes, my grandparents DO actually have a stuffed gorilla that sings the Macarena. Libby was again, unsure.

"OK, now I like him!"
