Things you might want to know about me...UPDATED 12/31/2002

• December 30, 2002: I am almost 2 years old now (just 4 more weeks!). I'm a big girl, and I'm VERY independent! I can go potty on the toilet (but sometimes I choose not to...!). I have a new bike, but it's been raining so I can't ride it much right now. I don't like clothes much - it's way more fun to be naked (and so much more convenient for the above-mentioned potty). I sleep in a big-girl bed now - a real TWIN-size bed! Sometimes I get to play in Nic's room - I like to look at his 'card' book. I have a beautiful necklace collection - I'm quite a stylish girl, you know! Christmas was fun - I got lots of cool things. My favorites are PlaDoh, a stroller for Inga (that I like to sit in...), a vacuum cleaner, and Chicken Dance Elmo. I love to play outside, when the weather is not RAINY! (I don't like to be rained on! )...My favorite TV show is 'The Wiggles' on the Disney Channel. Check them out at www.thewiggles.com. Their music is GREAT for dancing! I'm a really picky eater, but I sure like my Mammie Mary's protein bars...I am an expert on all domestic issues, especially laundry and dishes (after all, I AM almost 2, so you must realize as I do that there is NOTHING I do not know and NOTHING I cannot do!)...I have my own email address now, and you can reach me at 'littlesistori@attbi.com'.
• BREAKING NEWS! 9/9/02 - I can now climb OVER the safety gate in my bedroom doorway (after I climb out of bed...). Nights are so much more interesting for all of us now!
• September 8, 2002: I am 19 months old now. I am learning to use the potty, and I like big-girl panties. I can clean up my own spills. I like to look at the stars (when I'm bigger, remind me to talk to my cousin Travis - he wants to be an astrophysicist, and maybe I'll do that,too!)....My mom says I have a sleepy fascination with hair.....I like to blow kisses to everyone who walks or drives up to our house....I love to play 'go-go' with animals and 'ruuuu' with airplanes and cars....I love Bear in the Big Blue House and Winnie the Pooh....I can put on my own shoes (but I can't buckle them yet)...I can answer 'yes' questions...I can climb out of my bed and climb INTO sinks (I am very resourceful!). I love my big brother Nic!
• April 6, 2002: I am 15 months old. I'm a very happy and adventurous girl - I am curious and want to find out about everything (especially if it involves climbing UP)...I help my Mommy with the laundry - I can unfold towels very well now... Sometimes I visit Nic's school - I like it! We all had a great time at my 1st birthday party ! ...I started walking at 9 months, and I can now run and climb!
• January 28, 2002 - I am 1 year old now, and I can walk, run, and climb very well. I love to do lots of things, and I love people! WATCH OUT, WORLD, HERE I COME!
• At 9 months, I can walk all by myself!
• At almost 7 months (toward the end of August 2001), I am trying to move my feet while I'm standing up and holding on. I think I like this! And I have been introduced to 'solids' (my Mommy says, 'If you can call them that!'). My favorite food is sweet potatoes and I really like apple carrot juice.
• August 1st, 2001 - At 6 months, I'm pulling myself up and standing! My Mommy and Daddy say, 'No, wait! Not yet!'
• July 15th, 2001 - At 5 1/2 months, I am starting to crawl! And I can give kisses now!
• June 1st, 2001 - I rolled over for the first time.
• April 2001 - Happy Easter! I can smile and laugh out loud now...and my mommy says I can say my first word - she says it's GRRLL!
• I was born on January 28th, 2001, at 4:39 PM. I weighed 7 lbs. 7 3/4 oz., and was 20 1/4 inches long. On the link below, read about the very special experience of Waterbirth that my parents chose for us. I'm a happy girl. I like to sleep, and I'm VERY cute! My mommy and daddy think I'm wonderful (and so do my grandmas)! I have a GREAT big brother (visit my Nic at his website!) I have greatgrandmothers - Sally Stabrawa, Lillian DuLaney, and Frances Parrish. My grandparents are Mary and Alan Freed (Mammie and Pappy), and Candy Parrish McGowan. I have many aunts, uncles, and cousins of all degrees!
• Thank you for visiting me. Come back soon!
