Saturday was Aunt Renee’s baby shower…or should I say MONSOON of presents! There were so many presents that Aunt Renee had to take an intermission! Man, there are a whole lotta’ people that love Baby Mitchell and he’s not even here yet! I can’t wait to see what Christmas brings when he’s actually here and working all his baby cuteness on people!
I kept busy having fun with Riley and Taylor while Aunt Renee was busy putting her gift unwrapping skills to the ultimate test. We played tag, dinosaurs, helped ourselves to some blue punch, and played stroller races for a minute. After a big day, Aunt Carrie asked Momma if I could come hang at their house until Momma was finished cleaning up from the party. I had so much fun dressing up and playing with Riley and Taylor! Thanks, Aunt Carrie, for letting my come play at your house! Thanks to Gigi and Poppa for letting me come play before the party, too. It was a very big day, but I had lots of fun!
We celebrated Valentine’s Day with a swim meet at the HUGE IUPUI Natatorium. I swam in 4 different events…the most I’ve ever competed in! I improved most of my times…especially in my Freestyle. Parker had fun playing with his Leapster, but eventually racked out (we were out late partying with Gigi and Poppa the night before, so that was his excuse!). Check me out…and my name up on the JumboTron!
IUPUI Swim Meet
I’m very popular and have an extremely busy social calendar. As a case in point, take this past weekend’s festivities. We kicked off Saturday with a birthday party at Keely’s house. As soon as I walked in, there were 10 other girls there that started screaming and hugging all over the place! We ran right up stairs and started playing hide and seek and tag and watching High School Musical and dancing crazy around Keely’s room. Then, the Silly Safari show started and we got to see a baby alligator, a legless lizard, a ferret, a blue tongued skink, a baby bunny, a tortoise, a frog, and lots of other crazy animals. I touched mostly all of them but my favorite was the frog because he climbed up my arm. It tickled! After the show, we had cake and ice cream. The icing was made of Laffy Taffy!
We’re not done yet! All of the girls from the first party packed up and headed over to the pool at the Comfort Inn for Sydney’s party! We ran right in the door and jumped in the pool. I started swimming and playing with all of the girls. We had a big beach ball and the boys took it and kept playing Keep-Away. Swimming works up an appetite, so we ate another cake! Sydney opened all of her gifts and then it was time to come home. We were pretty tired from all of the excitement, so we hit the hey early Saturday night to rest up for the big game on Sunday.
Update: This morning (Monday), I lost another tooth. It is my left front tooth, so now I have a gap in my smile. Daddy says I look cute!
Front Tooth
We had to run a few errands today, including a trip to Colts-crazy Costco. But, we got to have a pretty fun lunch at Benihana! That is the place where they cook on your table and the guy flips things around and says funny stuff. I got to eat shrimp and rice, Momma had steak, Parker had chicken, and they forgot to cook Daddy’s (it was called sushi, but I call it “squishy”).

I hope you have a super day today, Poppa!
