I Do It Me Self

Mom is not as readily available to assist me these days as she was before baby brother was born. Plus, I am getting more independent. This is me trying to apply my Eucerin cream all by me self.

Cooking for Dad

I like to cook. All the time. It was how I made it through the 8+ hours on the airplane to Hawaii - Mom packed a portable kitchen for me. Plus, I also turn dad's closet into a kitchen, too.

From My Birthday Party...

We celebrated my birthday a few days before Halloween. Because of this, everyone was invited to wear a costume. The theme was a Monster Mash. Mom started preparations about 3 months in advance since she knew we'd have a new baby. Baby W was 3 weeks ago. She made the invitations and pinata (I found the correct string that opened the pinata first try!). S helped Mom make the monsters everyone got to adopt at the party. 

Fred Meyer did the cakes and I chose the colors for them. Auntie J brought the crowns for them. Ms. B did the games (bowling and pin the eye on the monster). Ms. B also did homemade pizzas with monster faces. (SO delicious!) Mom also made monster bags for everyone to put their treats in.

I loved my party but totally freaked out when Mom lit the candle to my cake and everyone sang to me. I wore Big Sis's pink princess costume Mom made for her years ago. Now I think every time we go to a birthday party I need to wear it!

We also painted tiny pumpkins. I was so glad to be surrounded by my closest friends and family on my special day.

Three...

The eve of me becoming a three year old. I am not a fan of being photographed but Mom managed t get this one before I fell asleep.

From Mom and Dad: 

To our BB8, Sunshine, Becka Fish ~ We love you and are very grateful for you and the sunshine and smiles you bring to our family.

Want to go to the beach?

We just returned from our epic family vacation to Hawaii (Maui). I have never been on an airplane nor even left the state. It was quite an adventure. I thought the giant sandbox and giant wave pool were amazing. I would wake Mom every morning at 6 am saying, "Want to go to the beach?" Then I would head into the bathroom and put on my Minnie Mouse swim suit.

I would often get concerned watching dad and the other snorkelers go far out into the ocean. I would stand at the water's edge and call to them. Then I discovered how much fun my version of body surfing was and I was constantly in the water.

The water was warmer than our neighborhood pool. I was a bit shocked that it tasted of salt. I even enjoyed sand in my peanut butter sandwich. We picnicked at the beach every day. I saw little fish swimming along side us while we swam. 

I deveopped a definite liking for Shave Ice. Shopping is a new favorite hobby - I would match outfits together every change I had. The last day I developed a GI virus and crashed during lunch and then hand diarrhea the next 24 hours which made traveling back from Maui quite an ordeal for all of us but we all survived and would do it all again in a heartbeat - great time! I probably had the most zest and excitement over the trip than anyone. I was also a great little plane traveler - only one major melt down that lasted less than 2 minutes before I crashed for a nap (I just wish that scary flight attendant would not have tried to calm me down!)

Here are photos of my adventures....  

2 1/2 Year Wellness Visit

We're a little behind on the appointment and also just in general. Life is busy in our house with me, the busy toddler, plus a couple other kids and another one the way. But, we finally made it to my 2 1/2 year wellness visit. I'm right on track and doing great - meeting all my benchmarks for my age. Here are my stats followed by some photos from my visit.

Weight: 28.2 lbs (25%)

Height 35.25 inches (25%)

Tap Shoes...

I'm obsessed with tap dancing and tap shoes. I almost made it onto the stage during Sister's recital sporting my own tap shoes.
