So it was a trip down to the farm for an annual Jensen/Wallace/Andersen get-together. I got to play with Christian quite a bit and my cousin Tessa. It was a lot of fun to see everyone again and to see Papa's tractors and be outside ALL day on Saturday, I didn't even have time to take a nap. I pretty much fell asleep by 8:00 that night and didn't wake up until after 9:00 the next morning. Here are some pics from the get-together. Hope everyone is good. Cheer for the Twins!

Barnyard Celebration!

Here piggy, piggy.
My hair is supposed to look like that? 
Yeah, you could use a little trimming here. 
I want you for the US Army!
Deep thoughts, by Miles Christopher. 

So today the family and I went to our annual neighborhood  block party. This year's theme was a barnyard celebration. There was a petting zoo there with animals like a pony, donkey, chickens, ducks, sheep, and pigs. It was a lot of fun because I even got to go inside the pen and pet these animals. I kept my distance on most of them but was intrigued  with the sheep. My mom took some photos (of course) so here they are. The one of Miles in the pumpkin costume is because my mom wanted to see if it fit him. I wore it my first halloween. I guess it fits him just perfect right now, but Mom has to remember that Halloween is still over a month away! 

I kiss.

I kiss Baby Miles.
Seriously, does she have to do that?
Here kitty. 

I love to give hugs and kisses. Sometimes my brother gets annoyed, but I find it way too much fun. One of my favorite new things to do at dinner time is hold up my cup of milk and do cheers with Mom and Dad. Tonight I was able to talk to Daddy on the phone and I tried to kiss him and give him a hug but wasn't for sure how; so I hugged and kissed the phone. He comes home tomorrow from Colorado. I can't wait to see him. I have been a pretty good girl this week for Mom though. I even helped her with the laundry on Tuesday night.

So my little brother was baptized on Saturday, September 13th. I really didn't want to participate in the photos, as you can see in the one where I am pulling my mom's hair. So I went off and played while pictures were taken. The service went really well, so my mom says. I was in the nursery with my cousins Ashley and Jacob. We had family up from both sides of the family and it was a lot of fun. I got to have some good quality time with everybody. My cousin Ashley even got to sleep in my room with me! 

 

C is for cookie video.

Journal entry from Mom.

I am just amazed everyday at the things Sophia is learning. She really knows her colors, is counting up to ten, and is starting to say her ABCs. We came home from daycare tonight and she walked into the mudroom and heard music playing. She looked at me and said, "Daddy in office. Daddy rocking." Yes, Daddy was in his office and listening to hard rock music. :) 

She has a new friend who just moved in right next door. Her new friend's name is Harper. She's from Maryland and is also two years old. They are going to have a lot of fun together, especially next summer. I am thinking that we will be setting a lot of playdates this winter. 

Well, I better get to bed. I am going to try and upload a video that most of you may have already seen, but for those of you who haven't, enjoy. I thought it was too cute to pass up to share with all of you. 

Mom, put that camera away!

I want some more money!
Go Twins!
More smiles from Miles. (Or “excellent” from The Simpson’s)
Cousin Tessa and me. I think I might be more of the “wild one.”

So my mom just finds in necessary to take photos all the time. I guess that is why I am wailing in the first photo. She asks for me to “please smile for Momma” but I like to push her buttons instead. :) Maybe after my whole terrible twos phase. Miles doesn't seem to mind his photo taken though. I am sure he’ll go through the same thing though when he’s about my age. 

So last year my mom and Aunt Jaime were shopping together and found the same shirt in different sizes at Gymboree. So here is the photo session from that, which I managed to smile a quick one because Mom bribed me with a cookie or something. 

I am starting to know a lot of my colors now, and the counting is improving daily. I know bits and pieces of the alphabet. I really enjoy my daycare, Lisa is the best! I know even say goodbye to Daddy without throwing a huge fit in the morning. and sometimes, I don’t even want to leave when Mom comes to pick me up.
