Lorelai had a flu shot today. The nurse was pure magic-- Lorelai was sitting on her Daddy's lap and suddently there was a wipe off, shot, and band-aid will without Lorelai knowing what was going on. She insisted she had a bug bite and the doctor wanted to give her a band-aid to make it feel better.

After Lex's doctor appointment, we went to the park to play! Lorelai is so fearless, climbing and jumping on everything that makes her Mama gasp with concern. "It's ok, Mom! I'm very careful." She says that now without even needing to be reminded of her safety.

Lorelai is in her super hero Flyer's cape that matches Lex's cape! She put her leg up in the air so she could be flying. Lorelai is a Super Big Sister!

"We are best friends!"
Lorelai loves to see her brother's eyes open so she can cuddle and play with him. They are already best friends (and sometimes she also tells us they are cousins-- a high compliment from Lorelai indeed).

We are not sure where she would have heard of one but Lorelai insists that this xylophone is her skateboard now.

Lorelai got her second hair cut today! She was a very big girl, sat on the froggy again at the salon and listened to the stylist's directions. Lorelai is a beautiful, big girl... growing up so fast!

As we were leaving Sonja's house today, we asked Lorelai what she did today. She told a story that sounded something along the lines of the following:  "Spinning... and hugs. And Sonja hurt. And castle. And boo boo... and rocks. And Jensen and friends... and hugs."
Lorelai tells the best stories!

Lorelai loves when Mama reads her I Love You Through and Through (which she just calls "Through and Through"). Today, she wanted to hold baby Lex so she could read the story to him too. Such a loving big sister, our Lorelai.

The family spent the day in our pajamas, lounging around and spending time together. Lorelai loved wearing her Lambie PJs all day-- she is a  big Doc McStuffins fan!

Happy birthday, Chris! Lorelai helped to break the pinata and joyfully collected all of the candy her little hands could grasp. Lorelai is a big fan of candy!

Lorelai is still settling into her Big Sister role. She wants to share her time with baby brother as much as possible, alternating between holding, hugging and snuggling up beside Lex.

Lorelai met her baby brother Lex today!
Lorelai was overjoyed to come to the hospital. When she arrived, Lex was with the doctor. As the nurse brought in the baby, Lorelai immediately declared that was her brother and she loved him. Lorelai would then only let people that we identified as doctors touch her baby brother and was very anxious to have him only in her arms.
When it was time for Lorelai to go home for the night, leaving Mama and baby brother, there was tears and pleas to stay or take everyone home now. She even tried to push the baby bassinet out of the room with her as Daddy was packing up. We promised the whole family would be going home tomorrow and that eventually was fine with Lorelai.

Daddy asked Lorelai to pretend to be sleeping for a picture for Mama.

We went to play with Sonja and Jensen today! Lorelai had a great time running around the backyard at Sonja's new house, playing in the "castle" and chasing baby bunnies. It was great to get the girls together again!

We got to have pizza tonight at Nana's with Nana and Pop-pop, Lucas, Jacob, and Aunt Col! Lorelai loves surprise trips to see her cousins. Usually, Mama and Daddy will keep it a surprise because if Lorelai hears that she is going to get to visit family, she wants to leave immediately in a whirlwind of excitement and fast talking.

Daddy at 3:09pm: FYI your brainwashing has worked. I let Lorelai play with her book so we didn't have to mess around up stairs for 40 mins. And she keeps telling me that she watch Caillou and how he's not a nice boy.
Mama: Lol! He's not though!

Such a big girl-- Lorelai peed in the potty again this morning! She is working very hard (when she feels like it) making it to the potty for a treat. Today, she was awarded a cookie prize.

It is funny to see the different mannerisms Lorelai picks up from Mama and Daddy. While sitting on Daddy's lap tonight, Lorelai took it upon herself to start mimicking things that he did. Here, he leaned back to stretch and groan so Lorelai went along with it, doing the same with her tiny frame and grunt.

Sometimes, Lorelai is a fan of danger. She often will beat Mama to the punch by shaking her hand and head saying, "don't worry mom. I am being careful!" before Mama even has a chance to point out the danger.
Tonight, Lorelai insisted that she could be safe while bouncing on her big purple ball and playing games on her book. Sometimes, she does what she wants and there is no stopping her.

Sometimes Mama wins special treats for Lorelai online. This week, we received an adorable bubblegum necklace with Vidia, the fast-flying fairy from Tinkerbell and Pixie Hollow. Lorelai loves to help open the packages and envelopes that arrive in the mail and especially loves when the present inside is for her.

As Mama and Daddy continue to get things ready for baby Lex, Lorelai is discovering new, fun things for her dolls and stuffed animals. When she saw the Flyer's onesie that used to be hers, she thought it would make a lovely addition to Lambie's wardrobe.  And like a good Mama, Lorelai made sure to shower her Lambie with kisses and love.

Lorelai asked to go over to Nana's house tonight to play which was really convenient since we were going over to cook dinner Nana and Pop-pop! Lorelai insisted on introducing Pop-pop and Chris to Wallykazam and Bobgoblin (more importantly). Getting a chance to play with her family is one of Lorelai's favorite adventures.

Lorelai stole Mama's shoes! She's such a big girl-- helping Daddy in the kitchen with dinner, wearing Mama's shoes, playing with her book.

Lorelai loves to play her drums and sing songs.
Recently, she started watching a television show on Nick Jr. called Wallykazam where a troll and his dragon teach word sounds and spelling using a magic word/letter. Lorelai's favorite character is actually Bob Goblin. She LOVES Bob Goblin very, very much. He's so silly, Bob Goblin. Bob Goblin plays drums. Bob Goblin stole the "b"! Bob Goblin blows the tuba sooooo loud that all the trees are bending and the rock falls off the mountain!
One can only assume that Bob Goblin has renewed her interest in drumming.

Lorelai picked up her two Minis this afternoon and started playing pretend with them. Mini was having a very detailed conversation about her hair bow, playing outside, brothers, and puppies. Lorelai's conversation skills in a pretend environment are very impressive. The Minis hugged and kissed and were very nice to each other all afternoon long.

When Mama comes home from word (and for other special events like peeing in the potty), Lorelai gets a few tic tacs in gleeful celebration. She often spends the next few hours carrying the candy around in a "bowl" while occasionally sucking on a single tac and replacing it in her collection. Eventually she will bite and chew the candy but only after she has fully savored the experience of waiting.
