My baby sister's first month!

The big day finally arrived! Mommy and Daddy left Saturday night to go to the hospital because Mommy was having contractions (whatever those are). My little sister was born on April 11, 2010 at 5:27 a.m. She weighed 8 pounds and 5 ounces and was 19 ½ inches long! Her name is Scarlett May Howard, but for now I can her Scar. Grandma GiGi came to stay with me while Mommy and Daddy were at the hospital with baby Scarlett. However, we did get to go see them each day! It has been quite and adjustment for me. It is hard to go from being the center of attention to having a little sister who gets a lot of attention from Mommy and Daddy. This was a busy month! Scarlett got to come to the parent appreciation breakfast at my school. People from church brought us dinners and came to see the baby. What is the big deal about seeing the baby anyways? Our pastor Carol came to visit too and she brought me some gifts! Woohoo! One day Jennifer, mommy’s friend from church, came and got me one day and I got to spend all day playing with Jack and Jake! Grandma and Grandpa Jackson came in for a quick weekend visit to see Scarlett and spend some time with me. We had a great time! Mommy and Daddy even got to go out for their anniversary (whatever that is). We also go to go eat much on the lake and get some frozen custards (which sound yucky, but are quite yummy). Then Grandma and Grandpa Howard came to visit for a week. Daddy and grandpa went fishing everyday! Then before we knew it, it was Mother’s Day, which is a day to celebrate mommies! Grandma GiGi came and we went out to eat dinner at Outback. It was lots of fun! At Scarlett's one month appointment she weighed 10 pounds 8 ounces and is 21 1/2 inches!
