The Bippy Fairy Visited This Halloween!

I haven't wanted to give up the "bippy" so we made a deal! I wanted to be the "Bippy Fairy" for Halloween and then I would give up the "bippy."

Beautiful "Bippy/Binky" Fairy

I went to the doors of people and said, "Boo!" That just wore me out and now I am tired after all that Trick r Treating.


As of November 1 - The Bippy was no more! She brought me the Leap Frog Learning Game which is alot of fun!

Hide and Seek

"Where are you, Aelyn?"
"I'm hiding, Mommy."

"Boo! Here I am!!"

I'm their little Aelynbug. I'm smart as a whip and definitely give some attitude but I'm cute as can be so they have to always hug and cuddle me. I know my ABC's and I can count to 20 (and sometimes higher) not only in English but Spanish and Chinese, too! I use complete sentences and words some grown-ups can't even utilize properly. I love to draw and color (although not too well - but come on' I'm not even 3).
I am careful and think things through before jumping right in. I am compassionate and polite (I know my thank you's and excuse me's well). I empathize and feel things deeply. I still hate to sleep and fight it every step of the way but once I'm out don't you wake me before I'm ready or you will get a really big groan.
I adore my "shows" on Nick Jr. and some of the Disney shows too (Mickey Mouse and Little Einsteins are the best). But the Toy Story movies are my favorite of all. I love to build and cook and play. Puzzles and games are fun. Kicking the ball and playing catch are a blast, too! I have enough energy to spare but sometimes I just want to laze and relax too!

Ending the Day Playing in the Water

All "Comfy Cozy"

Just happy and "Comfy Cozy" as I told Mommy and Daddy!

My Babies

I am all girl! I love to cook and help Mommy clean.

I also adore playing with my babies. I wrap them up in blankets, feed them and hug them until my heart is content.

Time to Give Logan a Bath!

Logan doesn't much like baths - actually, he complains the entire time. But, I like giving him a bath with mommy.

#1: I get to play in the bathtub.

#2: I get to dump water on Logan.

#3: Logan gets to shake and shiver the water all over me and mommy which makes me giggle like mad.

Wet and Wild Play

Dunedin opened a new water sprinkler park for the community. I wasn't sure about joining in the fun at first - although I adore the water and swimming (actually, I can now swim with my water wings and suit - and no help from mommy). I can be slightly cautious child when trying new things. Eventually, I came around and ran around with the other kids and played with my friends. This was so much fun! We spent lots of time this summer at the park!

I'm Stylin'

I always knew I was special - but now I am even more so. Only special girls get to wear glasses! I'm not focusing my right eye the way I'm supposed to so it is starting to cross inward. I'm also slightly farsighted so the doctor told Daddy and Mommy to get me glasses to help correct this now. If I wear them now then I might not have to wear glasses later. I got to pick out the glasses I wanted and the ones I chose were of course trendy - pinky-purple, plastic and stylish. Don't I look cute???

BBQ and Family Fun!

I have such a wonderful huge family. We get together every May Memorial Weekend with Daddy smoking meat. This year was Brisquit and Prime Rib (Yummy!!). I played school and ran around with my big "sisters", Skyler, Patience, and Morgan; and played with my friends, Kaitlyn, Kendra, Bodie, and Owen. All the girls even drew pictures for me - I am so loved! We had so much fun screaming and running while wearing ourselves out all day!

Artistic Ability

It is great to make a mess! Specially, when Mommy and Daddy can't get mad with the mess cuz it only goes on the Crayola Wonder paper. I get to color with markers and fingerpaint without getting it everywher. Yay!

Growing and Fun

35 inches tall and 29.5 pounds - I'm just perfect in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. I still like my "bippy" though. I love my "shows" especially Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Olivia. Mommy and Daddy say I like Olivia because she is just like me - smart and sassy! (Example: Olivia was asked by her professional football player uncle if she wanted to be a football player when she grew up. Her answer, "No, I want to be the coach so I can tell people what to do." Olivia then thought about it and said, "No, I want to be the owner so I can tell the coach what to do." This is sooooo me!

I count to twenty without missing a beat - love my nursery rhymes but most especially "twinkle twinkle" and "itsy biddy spider." My favorite book right now is Goodnight Moon, although I "read" many books.

I still hate going to sleep. And, outer space has recently become fascinating to me. I play 1-2-3 blast-off kicking up my feet and arms almost every night as a bedtime ritual. Mommy plays the best "space mommy" ever by putting me over her head.

My Own Pink Motorcycle!

Time to Ride! Daddy got me my own pink Harley motorcycle. I go round and round in circles and just laugh and giggle! I don't steer so well but what can I say I'm only 2!

It's Highland Games Time Again

It's that time of year again - Bagpipes! Dancing! Music! Marching! And, above all else I get to spend lots and lots of time with my friends. It is just so much fun!

Happy Birthday to Me!

How old am I? "I'm two!" I'm smart, funny, and all girl (with a wardrobe to match). I got so many clothes for my birthday that I have clothes for the next several years in different sizes. And shoes??? I am definitely my Mommy's daughter. I got ballet shoes (WHEE! I turn circles dancing in them!) and clogs and even flip-flops. It was also the birthday of teddy bears. "I Love My Teddies!"

Yay! I Love Presents!

I went to the doctor and am staying right where I should be at 34 inches tall and 28 lbs. 55th% for both height and weight. The doctor asked Mommy if I had a vocabulary of at least 50 words....Daddy tried to count all the words I know the other day and lost track after 150....so I don't think there is a problem there. And, trust me, I talk every chance I get....
