Firsts/Milestones/Moments to Remember:
  • Went on her second airplane ride to Arkansas to visit MeeMe and Poppy. She did great on the way there but not so much on the way back because she was sick.
  • Got another bad ear infection which resulted in her feeling very weak, vomiting, and fever.
  • Learned how to smack her lips, cross her arms, blow kisses (cutest thing EVER), and pretend sneeze (thinks it is the funniest thing)
  • Getting so much better at staying in the church nursery! Doesn't cry anymore until I pick her up.
  • Celebrated Mother's Day with Mommy! Woke up to a big hug and kiss from my sweet girl followed by a balloon (her fav), homemade card (my fav), mani/pedi, flowers, and breakfast! I am a lucky Mommy!!
  • Went potty (pee pee) for the first time on her big girl potty before bathtime! YAY!! :)
  • Had her first play date with her friends from TLG!!
  • Had her first sleepover at her Aunt Kristins with her cousins while Mommy & Daddy went to a wedding and did so good!
