I love my sister!

Now that Lela can sit up, it's a lot easier for us to have fun together.
We sit on the floor and talk and hug...

...and we do a lot of laughing too!

A lot of walking on a Saturday morning

On Saturday morning we all got up really early so we could walk in the March of Dimes March for Babies. Lela and I each had our own stroller, so that meant that Mami and Daddy did most of the work. (We're smart like that!)

There were lots of people there ready to walk. And there was another extra special guest there: ALBERT THE ALLIGATOR! I got to give him a big high five:

As well as a little hug:

That was pretty cool.
Then we walked for hours and hours and finally got back to Daddy's car. After a quick snack, we decided to see if we could go see some real alligators.
It was a nice nature walk, and I set out on my own to explore.


And then we saw this sign:

So from then on, I stayed very close to Daddy. We didn't see any gators, but better safe than sorry!

How I spent my morning

I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday so Mami took me to see the doctor this morning, just to make sure I'm OK. (I am better than OK, I'm great!) We had a fun morning, so I thought I'd share some pictures.

Easter greetings!

Happy Easter! I've had the greatest Easter weekend, I hope you have too.
On Saturday Daddy and I decided to dye eggs. (We were on our own since Lela was away with Mami.) I'd never done this before, but we had a blast.

Look - all different colors, with different designs and everything. We did great!

Then on Sunday Daddy and I went to Grandma and Gradddaddy's house to look for hidden eggs and open some presents. And when I woke up from my nap later that afternoon, I saw the strangest thing in the hallway - it was a trail of jelly beans leading out of my room...

... and all the way to the dining table, where I had an Easter basket! In it were two books, a Diego book about looking for Easter eggs and the holy grail of all Dora books, the "Dora's Fairy-Tale Adventure" book! (If you listen carefully, you'll hear the Hallelujah chorus in the background!)

I was very excited, and quite content to spend the rest of the afternoon reading those books to anyone who would listen. Of course, Mami and Lela were pretty tired out from their trip and from flying all night long, but I'm sure they enjoyed my stories as well.

Happy Easter to you all!

Happy Purim

As some of you may know, Purim was this week. To celebrate, we had "spirit week" at school, which involved dressing up in different ways each day. Friday was the day to dress up as our favorite Purim character. Umm, QUEEN Esther!!!

Any opportunity to get me in a princess dress is my kind of dress-up day!

I loved wearing my purple dress.

And of course, no queen is complete without her crown!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love,
Resli and Lela

Jake's birthday party

On Saturday my friend Jake was celebratng his third birthday with a big party at his house. Before we left I had to sign his birthday card. My signature is a tracing of my hand.

At Jake's house there were tons of people, all my friends from school. Jake's mom did a great job with the "Nemo" theme of the party.

We all made little bags with Nemo on them. (At this point I preferred to stay outside and play on the swings. Didn't Mami do a great job with my art project?)

And for lunch we had fish-shaped PBB&J sandwiches, with goldfish crackers.

There was cake too, but we ate it too fast to take a picture!
I had a great time, thanks for inviting me Jake. And Happy 3rd Birthday!

Jews-A-Palooza

Last weekend my school had their annual fundraiser called Jews-A-Palooza. They turned the whole school in to a big play area!
In one room was an "ice cream shop", where I scooped and sprinkled and served (all make-believe).

Then I took off running outside before Mami and Daddy even know where I'd gone. Luckily, Miss Donna (the teacher in the infant room) was there to walk with me!

There was a big boat outside, and they let me in to steer. Ahoy!

Then I climbed into this HUGE limo, which I thought was pretty cool. Why don't we have one of these to drive around town in?

But my favorite area by far was the supermarket area. I shopped 'til I dropped!

It was a fun day, and I wore myself out playing. So much so that I slept really well that night!

My first pedicure

Today is a beautiful day, but it's a little too chilly to play outside. So after my nap Mami and I decided to go to the Living Room Spa for pedicures. I didn't really realize what this all entailed, but I was sure excited about it.
First (and with Lela looking on), we had to make our toenails pretty shapes.

Then we got to put paint on them! I know, what a crazy idea! But Daddy found some pictures in a magazine and it turns out lots of women do this to their toes.

I had to hold very still while Mami painted me. I wanted purple - cool, huh?

Aahhh yes, if these aren't the toes of a superstar, I don't know what they are!

Dinnertime silliness

Those of you who know my Daddy know he's pretty darn silly. Well, yesterday, he was in rare form!
First, he let Lela stand on the dining table!

Lela loved it... She was all smiles.

But then they started making goofy faces at me while I was eating.

Yea, that made me laugh, those "goofballs", as I called them.

Then they tried to sneak up behind me to surprise me:

Argh! Lela got me!

So if anyone ever wonders why I'm as silly as I am some times, please, come examine my home life!
