Happy Birthday Uncle Alex...and happy birthday to...me??

Wow was today a GREAT day!! I woke up and I knew right away that it was Uncle Alex's birthday and I was sooo excited to go out to lunch! :) Guess what?? Because I LOVE BIRTHDAY'S I asked if we could pretend it was my birthday too... To my surprise, when we got to the restaurant I was surprised by a present!! Gdad and Gma bought me a new baby doll! She has a shirt that says "Big Sister" and it came with a little baby doll whose shirt says, "Little sister." I LOVE them!! (They bought a baby doll for baby vera too.) Wasn't that soo nice?! Plus Alex loved the card I picked out for him! He gives me dollars when he sees me...so I knew he would like dollars for his birthday! Daddy said he can buy any present he wanted...just like I got to do with my gift card from Grandma Cindy! We had a great time playing games at lunch and Uncle Josh and Uncle Alex won a bunch of toys and candy for Vera and me!! THEN i got to go to Gdad and Gma's house after cake, ice cream...and rock and roll!! We go downstairs to the basement and we ROCK! I get the microphone and I say, "1 and 2 and 3 and 4!!" Then they start playing! I also say "eVERYONE! Presenting....G DAD!!!" Then Gdad starts to play guitar and sing. Josh is on the drums. It is so awesome. I sing, "I totally rock!! I totally rock!!" I LOVE to play rock and roll with them!

fun fact

I forgot to tell you that the Dr. predicted that I would be taller than my mommy someday!! She is only 5' 2" and the Dr. thinks I will be 5' 6"!! Isn't that so cool? I can't believe I am going to be taller than her!!

a new day!

I woke up this morning and said to mommy, "I do NOT want to go to the Dr." You see, I had to go yesterday and I was soo scared. I had a really bad experience there this past summer and I remembered!! Overall yesterdays visit went OK and much better than I thought. It was just my 3 yr check up. I am a healthy and happy girl. (Could have told them that without going in though...) I really like playing Dr. at home and I used to say I wanted to be a Dr. (I am not ruling that out right now...) I'm just saying that I do NOT want to go again anytime soon!! It was a rough day.:( Today though is a new day! I was sooo happy when mommy answered me and said, "We dont have go to to the Dr...silly! Drey and Ariyah are coming over and we are going to the park!!" pHEW! I was really really REALLY excited!! we had such a fun time at the park and then back here for lunch. I LOVE playing with new friends. Its really fun for me because when I meet new friends I say, "Hi, I'm Avi...what's your name??" I was actually at the park with mommy last night (yeah, we LOVE the park) and there was a little boy who apparently didn't know his name because he didn't answer me?? I was very confused at that! Maybe he really doesn't know! He kept calling me, "Girl" and I said, "Noooo! Im not 'girl' I'm AVI!!"

FUN at the park!

I couldn't WAIT to go to the park yesterday! Seemed like we had to wait FOREVER until Vera was ready...I totally could have gone by myself, and even tried to get a head start, but that idea was quickly shot down! :/ I planned to take monica in the baby stroller but mommy reminded me that I couldn't push her in the stroller AND ride my scooter... hmmmm that was a hard decision. In the end I put monica in Vera's diaper bag and off we went! It was a little colder than yesterday but that is all irrelevant to me! Snow, rain, sun...I love it all!

I had a BLAST at the park. Daddy LOVES the park also.Vera cant really participate so daddy and I played. She was all upset about something so she and mommy went to the car. Mommy still got some photo's though! Lucky for me, she was too far away to tell daddy to not push me too high on the swing! I was swinging SO HIGH and I held on tight like he said to. It's really no big deal, mom... I am a big girl now! "I was really really careful mommy!"

Thanks Grandma Cindy!!

I have had such a fun day so far! I have been waiting patiently to use my giftcard from my Grandma Cindy that she sent me for my birthday! :) I thought about it, and after seeing someone else on a scooter...I decided that is exactly what I wanted! I LOVE my new radio flyer scooter! Its pink :) which is my favorite color. I think daddy was excited to teach me how to ride it...and not to burst his bubble...but I already knew how to do it! (Like I said, Ive seen someone doing it before...) I didn't need any help AT ALL!!!

We went to the park over by mmom and gdad's house...and I surprised them by riding my scooter over to their house! Worked out perfectly because uncle josh was about to leave to get lunch...and ended up getting me a happy meal.

I am so happy that I got to pick out such a fun present! Thank you so much, grandma cindy for my new scooter!! ...and thanks mommy and daddy for taking me to the park!

xxoo avi

ps. on to watch mickey mouse school house...and then a nap :/ ugh (mommy pretty much insists! boo!)

thanks uncle josh!!

I love my uncle josh! "He is my family!"

He told me on my birthday that my present from him would be a little late. No problem! :) I was so excited to see him tonight when he brought it over! He bought me a Dora play tent! I REALLY wanted one of these but he picked this out on his own! Great minds think alike I guess! lol He stayed for dinner and watched "Buzz Buzz" with me. I watched it while in my tent with my pillow and blanket! :) Thank you Josh!! Before he left I had everyone hold hands and sing "...we're a HAPPY fam-i-ly, with a GREAT BIG hug and a kiss from me to YOU.....WOOOOOOOOONT you say YOOOOOOOOOOOU LOOOOOOOOOOOVE MEEEEEEEEEE TOOOO!"

Here are some pics...and I cant really post any pics with him in it... its apparently against the rules. :/ Then again...I dont think he reads this... shhhh!! ;)

we are sisters :)

my baby sister gets really happy when i talk to her :) this was us playing after naptime today.

birthday party glimpse!

I had such a fun time at my birthday party! It was too cold (With snow) to go to the park... I was so disappointed. I didnt see any reason why we still couldnt go?? I told mommy and daddy I would put my boots and coat on...but that didnt work. That was OK though because I still had a blast having the party indoors! My friends Drey and Ariyah were there to celebrate with us. Also it was my baby sister's 3 month birthday that day! We had a princess party :)

Thank you:

Mmom and gdad: for all of my awesome presents! My outfits, new american girl puppy, princess books and crafts!

Uncle Alex: thank you for my little people zoo! I love it! Today all the animals were playing together and at first they didnt want to play with the tiger...Then mommy told me that it wasnt very nice to leave the tiger out... I agreed, so now they are all friends!

Uncle Andrew and Katelyn: I LOVE all my books! You know I love Veggie Tales especially! I love reading them with mommy and daddy before nap and bedtime. I even like to read them during the day too.

Drey: Thank you for my litte pet! He is soo cute! I think mommy was a little scared of him but I told her today, "You love him! He is so cute!" I know I was a little upset when you blew out my candles at first...but really, its no big deal! You and I BOTH got to blow the candles out! Friends share.

Natalie and Christina: I LOVE my new clothes from GAP. I want to look stylish like YOU, Natalie! :) we heart you.

Grandma Cindy: I was so excited to check the mail with daddy and get my giftcard...I havent been to Target yet but I am so excited to pick out a new toy... I dont know what to choose!! That's a good problem, right?? :) Miss you!
