Grandma Zannah came to visit this week and was a HUGE help. "Grandma go home, make dinner" you'd say - when she left the park early. When she first arrived Grandma told you that there were some presents for you in her backpack, and that you could open the backpack and look. You proceeded to pull everything out of the backpack, including some stuffed animals and books - before I realized that you were looking for something wrapped "a present!" - so Grandma took it all back to her hotel and the next day they were wrapped up.

You also helped Grandma plan a birthday party for mommy, which was a big hit - complete with 2 guests (CJ and Rose) and hamburgers, ice cream pie, and cupcakes that you made with mommy. You are an expert baker (pouring flour into canisters and spreading it around the counter is a current favorite) and we've been making muffins almost once a week.

You also noticed how much attention Alex has been getting from diaper changes, so you're out of Elmo underwear for now, but we'll try again in a few months.
