Has it really been five months?

I can't believe it's been 5 months since I last updated my blog. Daddy decided to take Brother and me out in the stroller to go see the new fire station, and since mama is my secretary, it gave her a few minutes to update my fans.

This has been a busy week. Spring is here and mama is restless, so we've been hitting the town. We've been to the Children's Museum, the zoo, and to the fire station open house this week. Yeah, yeah, we made several trips to Target, but that's all in a days work.

I got to see a pig at the zoo today. He was neither sniffling nor sneezing, so I assume he was not sick with the Swine Flu. Oh, excuse me, I mean H1N1 Flu. Apparently pigs around the world are offended by the term "Swine Flu." Other than a very sad looking piggy, I got to see monkeys, giraffes, rhinoceri (is that the plural form of rhinoceros?), butterflies, crocodiles... you name it, I saw it.

However, the highlight of the week was the fire station open house. The new fire station is finally complete, and GUESS WHAT? They opened it up for the whole neighborhood to see. I got to sit in a REAL FIRE ENGINE. Dad wanted to climb on top of it, but was afraid he would cause a commotion. The new fire engine is the coolest thing ever! I'm hoping they have another open house very soon.

Brother is still visiting. I'm not sure when he is going to leave. I mean, he's cute and all, but since he's arrived, there's less room on mama's lap and less attention overall. So, to ensure that I get adequate "mama time," I've decided to forgo my afternoon nap. Sure, I get a little cranky in the afternoon, but that means more quality time with mama, and that's a good thing, right?

I guess the worst thing about having Brother around is that he is now sharing my room. This transition has been REAL fun for mama and daddy. What they don't realize is that we take turns waking up at night. Mama and daddy aren't getting any sleep. It's all in good fun!

Enjoy the update! Much love,
