I'm almost a big girl!

Working my way to 3 years old! And trust me, I'll tell anyone who asks me "I'm two. I'm going to be 3 on March 14th." And...you know what big girls do? They sleep without pacifiers!

I'm just practicing. Still need the pacifier.

My newest skill? Spanish. I can do numbers to ten, colors, and all the animals in Brown Bear (ahem....that's "oso marron.")

Every night, I make Mommy or Daddy read Brown Bear to me. En espanol.

I had my six month checkup with Dr. Miller, and I she said I'm doing AWESOME. So awesome, I might go to a yearly checkups soon!

Stats:
2 years 10 months
36" tall
30 lbs

If you haven't noticed, it's been a little cold lately. ("brrr" I say "I shivered a little bit") We did get a small amount of snow, which was fun. For about 5 minutes.

I'm catching snowflakes!

I do love making funny faces. This is one something that Ashton does:

Do you remember what my favorite thing EVER is? Dinosaurs! Well, I got to go see dinosaurs in Roanoke this weekend! I got to RIDE A T-REX!! And dig for fossils!

Hi Daddy, I'm riding a T Rex

But above all, I just like being silly.

Happy New Year!!

Wow...what a year it's been so far! First, I went to TEXAS and saw NOODLES (the dog)! Oh, and Pops and DeeDee and Uncle Ashton and Uncle Brendan.

The mall had a TRAIN!!

DeeDee bought me a Build-A-Bear
(I named him Puppy Jasper, to match Puppy Charlie)

Ashton helped

I went really fast!

Almost as soon as we got back, Ruthie and Elsie and Uncle Hagai and Aunt Sarah came to visit! It was COLLLLD but that didn't stop us from going and playing on the swing set.

Unfortunately, while they were here, Jasper got a little sick. He didn't feel too good.

My tummy hurts

I'll explain:

If you didn't catch all that, he ate one of my pacifiers and then started throwing up. Daddy had to take him to the vet, where they were going to do SURGERY but he got better after being there, not eating, for a couple days. Whew! Close call Jasperoni!

Here's my impression of how he was:

On another topic, I've developed quite the 'tude. I'm perfecting some things. See what you think:

The Lip

The Pout

Don't be fooled...these are not static poses. Usually in between wails and loud, whiny demands. Such is the life of a 2.75 year old!
