Busy week...

Let's see...  This week, my sister has been busy.  It isn't that she has done anything much different than she normally does, but it has been jam packed with activities.

Like, Disneyland. 

A couple turns on the carousel...

and some food at the Rainforest Cafe...and she called it a day.

Bedtime has been a"Daddy/Daughter Bonding" time.  To help it go smoothly, her friend Brennen gave her a new bath toy.  It is a star that is a light and fountain!

At first, it didn't do its job.  She didn't get it, and it just squirt her in the face.

But she eventually figured it out, and now it is her favorite bath toy!

Sissy had a playdate with a few of her friends. 

Pigtailed girls up to no good!

Sissy's friends were all exploring.  She couldn't join them because she can't walk.  But, all the mommies were in awe and almost tearing up at how cute all the kids are and how well they play together.  When did they become kids and not babies?

My sister might not be able to walk, but she can out swing any of those kids!

And she's the best at playing in the sand and not eating it!

This is her on her way to another trip to Disneyland, reading and singing.

They went on the Nemo submarines, and knew exactly what to do!  The both went straight to the portholes to see what was going on outside.

Although, this didn't last.

Sissy got scared when it got dark and loud and there was nowhere for her to go!

And she fell asleep in the Haunted Mansion!

Last time it was on the bug ride, this time in the mansion!

Brennen was over it.

He doesn't get how anyone can fall asleep on/in a ride!

On the weekend, the family went to the Schultz family's soccer games.

They started with Miss. Brooke's.

She's super good!

Mr. Jack wasn't super excited.

But, he eventually decided to wake up and play with Sissy.

She was eager to get out there and play too!  But, Daddy said she has to learn to walk before she can run...and play.

Mr. Jack's game was fun too!  You can't tell here, but he was playing "gangnam style"!

Miss. Brooke took good care of Sissy.

Kept her fed and happy.

(sorry, not sure how to fix this picture)

It was lots of fun rooting them on!

So much, that Sissy begged Daddy to let her come the next day to watch!

Then, after the games (and a good nap) was Sissy's first boy/girl night time party.

Daddy said he had to chaperon.

It was her friend, Danny's, 2nd birthday!

He had lots of neat toys!

Again, the kids played so well together.

Mama says they are becoming little people!

The next day at Mr. Bobby's soccer game!

That's him as goalie!

Again, Mr. Jack played with Sissy....

And Miss. Brooke kept her fed with snacks!

And again, Sissy wanted to play!  And again, Daddy told her to walk first.

It was like ground hog's day!

Because again, after soccer, Sissy had another birthday party to go to!

Soccer was so exciting!

And tiring!

Up one second...

Asleep the next.

She didn't even wake up when Daddy took her out of her carseat to go to the party!

It was cute.

Because Sissy doesn't fall asleep or cuddle with Daddy often, or ever, so it was sweet.

But, before you know it, she woke up!

And played with birthday boy, Jack!  It was his first birthday!

He had lots of baseball themed toys!  They were fun!

And it was next to a park!

Daddy took her on a slide.

It was a tight squeeze!

But they made it out!

Then went searching for a better slide.

And found it!

She had fun with her friends.  Mama is lucky to have found some good mommy and baby friends!

I have just been sleeping in.

I got a bath.  Boooo!

But, Mama is glad because I am clean!

But, I'll see you next week!  When I will be dirty again!

Howl'oween and other stuff...

It's just me...

Doing what I do...

Reporting on my family, while doing my own thing.

I'll be honest.  This will all be out of order.

I am going to start with Howl'oween then backtrack on things that I have missed.

The day before Howl'oween, Sissy went to a playdate.

She hates her hat.

As you know, we were Mary had a Little Lamb.

But, playing with this corn cob, she looks more like Little House on a Prairie.

Once she got the bonnet off, she played like usual.

And as always, the piano was her favorite.

Let's play a game of "Where's Waldo?"

But, instead, it'll be, "Where's Emmie?"

There were lots of kids there!

There she is!

Then the day of Howl'oween, Mama and Sissy went to Disneyland!

She seems to like it!

Brennen came too!

Neither baby became king.

Maybe if they both drink their milk and get stronger, they can pull the sword from the stone next time.

Sissy liked the Jungle Cruise!

(They also went on Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Dumbo, and the Tiki Room)

And of course, they at lunch!  Boy did those crayons taste good!

SISSY FELL ASLEEP ON A RIDE!

The point of going to Disneyland, was it was supposed to wear the babies out, so they would take a good nap before going out at night to trick or treat.  I guess it worked a little too well on my sister.

Ms. Kim thought it was so funny!  But, Brennen was just kind of confused.  I mean, who falls asleep ON a ride?!

When she got home, she did what mom wanted, and took a nap.

I made sure that she slept well.

It is a big sister's job to stand guard and make sure she is ok.

At night, they went trick or treating with the cousins.  It was superhero night!  Garrison was Spiderman and Beckett was Batman!

Sissy was nothing.

Daddy said she was just, "along for the ride" since she can't walk to trick or treat yet.

But, she wasn't about to be left out!

Now that Halloween is over...

Here are some random things that happened the past couple weeks.

Sissy played at Brennen's house!

And the park!

Where she finally decided she liked the slide!

YEA SLIDES!

Sissy had taken up opera singing.

She sings and puts her hand out to make sure everyone sees and hears her lovely voice.

She does it on swings too.

She looks up to the sky and says, "AHHHHH!"

She loves the outdoors!

Now, I know you saw Sissy at Disneyland for Halloween.  But, that was technically her second visit.

Her first visit was with Mama and Auntie Tia! 

Sissy wasn't fond of the characters, but Mama is hoping she will get used to them before Christmas and her visit to Santa.

She had to take a picture with Eeyore, Sissy said he reminded her of me.

Auntie Tia lets Sissy eat pretty much anything.

She is super spoiled!

Corn Dogs!

And Churros!

Look at the sugar on her mouth!  She told me it was,

"SOOOOOO GEEEEWD!"

But, she made the mistake of sharing with the duckies.

They wouldn't leave her alone!

And Mama is scared of birds, so they had to high tail it out of there!

(Sidenote:  Please know that Sissy doesn't really eat all this stuff.  She  might get one messy bite, but it is all for photo opportunities.)

Sissy took a picture at Mickey's house next to this cake.

Grandpa and Grandma got her Disney pass for her birthday, so she thought it was fitting.

Auntie Tia loves to clean!

And she is making my sissy her apprentice!

Here they are at Mickey's washing machine!

And cleaning products!

And magical mops!

Mama didn't care about the cleaning stuff.

But, she was excited about this Willie Wonka looking car!

Pumpkins at Goofy's house.

The carousel, always a good time!

This fountain was honking at Sissy!

Winnie the Pooh ride!

So much to look at!

Sissy did pretty well at the dark rides.

She wasn't scared at all when they went with Auntie Tia, but when she went with Brennen, she was nervous in the beginning.  But, once the ride gets going and she has stuff to look at, she is ok.

This is one tired baby at the end of her first trip to Disneyland.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

The next day, she actually got to see Grandma and Grandpa!

She played with the cousins!

And they walked Garrison to school.

And Grandpa tried teaching Sissy to walk.

He held out little treats for her.  She held on with one hand, but followed the cookie.

She never actually got the hang of it.

But she was getting better.

So, someday.

That is how Daddy taught me all of my tricks, so I know this method works.

She'll get the hang of it.

Sissy went to Grandpa's trade show, it's called the PMA.

They have lots of food/produce from different countries.

This picture is for Papa Jorge, Tia Gaby and Auntie Tia!

And this one is to go with all of Mama's pictures of her and famous chefs!

She is such a food groupie!

This is Sissy and Avery.

Avery's Mama calls them "double trouble" and I can't disagree with her.

Look at the snakes at the park!

They look like the one Daddy caught!

Silly babies on the carousel!

This one is free!  And you don't have to get off if you don't want to.  You can just go round and round and round!  I think they went 4 or 5 times in a row!

Sissy is starting to feed herself.

But only yogurt.

She likes it!  She has fun and feels like a big girl.

At Auntie Tia's house.

Can she get any closer to the TV?!

She crawled under a chair and got stuck.

But, eventually made it out.

(Please ignore the fact she doesn't have pants on, they were dirty)

SSSSHHHHHH, I'm playing hide and seek from my sister.

Really just hide, I don't want her to seek me.

I'm pretty good at this game.

See?  She doesn't even see me.

But, the fact she doesn't see me, might be bad news for me.

"Hey!  Watch it!  Don't sit on me!"

So, that is about it.

I don't have much more to report.

So, I'll see you next week!
