2 Year Check Up

I went to see my pediatrician today for a two year check up.  


On my way there, Mommy told me that we were going to see the Doctor.  
I automatically announced "No more monkey's jumping on the bed!"  


If you aren't familiar with this song, it goes like this.


Ten little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off and broke his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"


(Repeat and count down until there are no monkey's left on the bed.)


This song has been one of my favorites lately.


My height was 36 1/2" (97%) and my weight was 28.4lbs.  (71%)  Mommy was concerned that my shyness might effect the doctors evaluation but I was very outgoing and listened to Dr. Mason like a good girl.  He told me that I was exceptionally bright and in perfect health.  I pointed out colors for him and Mommy told him about all of my other skills, like counting to 20 and being able to say the entire alphabet on my own.  He was very impressed.  Over all, the visit to the doctor was a great one.


What's new:  I love hair-pwanes (airplanes) and it makes me sad when I hear babies cwhyning (crying).

Happy Birthday To ME

Pretty Girl

Baby Love

We visited Simon Danger today.  He is such a cute little guy.  I stroked his hair and gave him a little kiss but I was pretty intimidated by him over all.  When he cried I turned into a worried little Mama.  I want one.

What's new:  I have been singing A LOT lately.  My favorite songs to sing are, 10 Little Monkeys jumping on the bed, The Itsy Bitsy Spider, The Alphabet, Pat-A-Cake, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  Mommy says I sound cute and do an excellent job.  I picked up my Alphabet pretty fast.  I can sing the entire song!

A Horsey Says "Neigh-Neigh."

We had a wonderful visit with Great Grandma Mary today.  She has horses in her field.  I am such a country girl at heart. 

My Big Girl Bed

Mommy & Daddy bought me comforter and sheet set for my new bed and Great Grandma Mary bought me a mattress.  It is finally all set up.  I absolutely love it and have never slept so deeply before. There is a bunch of storage all around and I have my big toys stuffed beneath it for now.  A collapsible desk is meant for that space but a fort seems much more appropriate.

Early Birthday

I just received my first birthday present in the mail.  A big girl bed!  Both sets of Grand Parents pitched in on this beauty!  I can't wait for Mommy and Daddy to set it up.  Thank you!

The Great Wolf Lodge

Aunt Kimeee & Kortnee invited us to join them at the Great Wolf Lodge.  We had so much fun!
What's new:  I am keeping up on my manners.  It is rare for me to not say "pwease" or "tank you" when I would like something from you.  If you thank me, I will say, "yur wecome" and If you sneeze I will say "bess you."  If you run into me, step on me, push me down, or If I do anything to make you hurt or upset you I will say "I'm Sauwy."  Hopefully Mommy and Daddy will be able to keep this trend up.  There is nothing better than a child with manners.

Urban Quail Farming

Meet our new quail!  2 whites, 2 rosettes, 2 tuxedos, and 2 range.  Daddy made a wonderful coop for them and our plan is to raise them for meat and eggs.  They will only weigh around 7 ounces matured but they sure do pack the good stuff. 
Quail eggs contain three or four times the nutritional value of regular chicken eggs. The health benefits of quail eggs extend to the high levels of protein and vitamins in them. Quail eggs have 13 percent protein and have 140 percent of the daily-recommended vitamin B1. Compare this to the 50 percent of vitamin B1 and 11 percent proteins that are found in chicken eggs. Quail eggs also contain five times the iron and potassium that chicken eggs do. Furthermore, the ovomucoid found in quail eggs is known to prevent the symptoms associated with allergies, hay fever and sinusitis.  The health benefits typically associated with quail eggs include digestive improvement, immune system function, detoxification and combating disease. Quail eggs naturally enhance the immune system, and children who eat them are less likely to acquire infectious diseases. Along with asthma, they are used to treat tuberculosis and diabetes. Quail eggs are also known for their ability to aid the digestive system. They are known to improve the quality of life for people with stomach ulcers as well as those with gallstones, kidney stones and liver stones.  Quail eggs provide health benefits to the nervous system. They improve brain function and enhance memory as well as steady the nervous system. They help the circulatory system by allowing the body to create sufficient levels of hemoglobin, which enhances the health of anemia patients. Eating quail eggs can do more than benefit health and improve immune function; they also help increase metabolism. Many people associate quail eggs with improvements in skin tone and hair health. Men benefit from eating  quail eggs because the phosphorous they contain helps prostate health. The vitamins and protein in quail eggs are also considered a sexual stimulant.  Now you've learned something new!

Lily Dog

Clark County Fair

What's New:  I can recognize certain colors now.  I point out red, blue, white, green, orange, yellow, pink, and purple. 

Welcome Simon Danger Olsen!

Isn't my new friend cute?  Mommy stayed with Mandy and Bryan at the hospital for the last 3 days in anticipation for baby Simon to arrive.  Finally, at 6:50am this morning he decided  to show up for his birthday party.  8lbs. of perfect baby boy.  It was a long road for Mandy but she handled it like a true super hero!

Oregon Coast Fun

Cabin sleepovers, swimming, playing in the sand, long walks together, eating out, touching starfish and feeding seals stinky fish at the Seaside aquarium, my first carousel ride, and playing with animals at the Clatsop County Fair, all while spending time with two of my favorite ladies, Grandma Katie & Mommy.  So much fun!
