Jessica enjoys her ice cream cone

After downing 2 1/2 slices of pizza for dinner (before swimming with her friend tonight), Jessica enjoyed a tasty ice cream cone later in the evening. Pizza and ice cream are key food groups, right? As you can tell, Jessica really loves ice cream.

Jessica has fun at gym

Jessica had fun at gym tonight. She loved playing in the tunnels, riding the train, and swinging.

Jessica goes to the airport to see airplanes

This afternoon, Jessica and I spent time at the airplane museum and local airport watching the airplanes take off and land. She loved seeing the airplanes in the sky.

Jessica's first dollhouse

Jessica just got a dollhouse this weekend. I had taken her to the library where they had one and I couldn't get her to stop playing with it. We found a super sale locally, and next thing we know, she has a furnished dollhouse at home now. It's been a huge hit so far as she has played with it morning, noon, and night. Her favorite activity is putting the dolls to night-night in their beds. Besides playing with the dolls and furniture, she likes to play peekaboo through the open spaces too.

Jessica had a good mentor in Mimi

Tonight, Jessica got her ironing board set that we had ordered a while back. We had bought her a washing machine and iron as birthday presents since she really seemed into both of those tasks around the house. All weekend, she watched her Mimi do lots of ironing. It seemed to rub off on Jessica as she set out to iron her baby's clothes tonight.

Jessica's second birthday party

Jessica enjoyed her second birthday party this weekend (even though her real birthday isn't until later in the month). She had a princess themed party filled with tutus and tiaras for the girls and capes and crowns for the boys. There was bubbles, swinging, and bouncing in the bounce house. Plus, extra yummy cupcakes (according to Jessica). Fun was had by all the little girls and boys who attended.






Later in the day, Jessica opened her presents. Anything that had princesses on it was a big hit including princess books, a princess phone, and a princess outfit. She also had lots of fun with her beads, puzzles, and Mrs. Potato Head.

Jessica has fun in the sun

On Sunday morning, Jessica had lots of fun swimming with Leilani. And, later that day, they had lots of fun "painting" with water. They enjoyed doing that activity and letting us all know.

Jessica spends the 4th of July swimming with her daddy

Jessica had a very fun 4th of July swimming with her Daddy and blowing bubbles. She wanted nothing to do with mommy while in the pool. She only wanted to jump and swim with her daddy. We had to teach her to wait for her daddy as she jumped once before he was ready.

swim lessons with Isabella

This is a photo from before swim lessons tonight. Jessica seems to finally be enjoying the lessons and is even doing okay with going under the water.
