4 Years, 8 Months...It's a Girl!!!

I finally found out!  I am going to have a baby sister!  The baby was playing peek a boo with me, giving me the I love you symbol, and blew kisses at me.  I did them all back!  The ultrasound person told me first, and I got to tell mommy and daddy it was a girl!  Right after that, she stuck her tongue out at me, so I had to return the favor!  The first thing I said was, "And I thought it was going to be a boy!"  I got my own ultrasound picture and was so proud to show it off and tell everyone about it.  My original name for the baby was "Tree Head", but then I decided Rachel would be a good name for a girl and Avery for a boy.  Another girl name I like is Elizabeth.  Mommy and daddy said they were good names, but they are going to name the baby and keep it a surprise until she gets here.
We did a lot of fun things this month too.  I went to South Farm with Carrie and we had a lot of fun.  We got to see lots of animals and I got to listen to some good music.  I got another rainbow painted on my face too!

I also went to the movies with Brynn and saw Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.  We had the Walnut Street Day School pot luck too.  I talked about it all week, and when it was over I was really sad it was going to be my last one.  I went with daddy to get his car serviced and he let me have not one, but two containers of ice cream for breakfast!

I then went on errands with mommy, and we got to see Marion's new baby girl, Autumn.  I kept complaining that I was cold and was crying there.  It turns out that I had 102.2 fever that night!  We had to skip Catherine's birthday party.  In October, we went apple picking with Auntie Heather and family.  It rained on us, but was a lot of fun to play later with Ashley and Ian.

 

 

 

We got to go to the toy store and make my Christmas list.  I am doing a good job of asking if we can put things on my list instead of saying "I want" all the time.  I got my hair cut and we had a really fun family gathering with mommy's cousins!
I said some really sweet things this month.  After singing to the baby, the baby kicked.  I said, "I'm so happy the baby kicked.  I just have tears.  I am crying.  Good golly, I just can't stop!"  I also said that I want to have a brother so we can get married when we are older.  Later that week when mommy picked me up from school, I said, "I love that my teachers love me so much.  I am joyful!"
I also said some really funny things this month.  I keep getting "recognize" and "realize" mixed up.  I said, "I just recognized something.  On my necklace, Jesus is just hanging there on the cross."  I was trying to go to sleep one night and shouted out to mommy and daddy in the living room, "I can't sleep!  You're making all that racket!"  I also told mommy, "I just got a text from a friend.  She texted a picture on Facebook."  I also said that a character in a book at "purple eyestick (eye shadow) on."
I sure do love my daddy!
