Anna's First Day in her New Class

Anna had her first day in her new class yesterday. She did great. Luckily all the same kids from her old class are in this new class with her. Her new teacher is Ms. Angie and she's very nice. She did all sorts of fun things on her first day. Still makes me a little sad knowing she's growing up though. If I could pause time, I would!

Here she is getting in a healthy breakfast before school. She loves her breakfast bars and banana!

 This was Anna this morning. I just thought she looked cute in her jean skirt and pig tails. :) IN this picture, she's playing with her favorite toy... tampons! Yes, she loves pulling my tampons out of the box and carrying them around. She hides them all over the house. Anyway, just thought I'd share why she holding tampons in this picture.


Cutie Patootie!

19 Months


Anna turned 19 months old this week and her vocabulary is starting to show how fast she is growing up. She is such a motor mouth these days. She pretty much repeats anything we say and she even tries to carry on conversations with us. Her latest words are wa-wa (water), Abba (Abby the dog), mouth, cow, book, i laah ooh (I love You... my favorite:), and uh-uh (my least favorite). Anytime she doesn't want to do something, she says uh-uh, and as independent as she is, we hear these words A LOT! She's become a pro at eating with a spoon and fork, and we finally got brave and started letting her drink from an open cup. No major messes yet but I'm sure those are still to come. Her favorite song right now is "If You're Happy And You Know It", where she likes to clap her hands, stomp her feet and turn around. I'm trying to get this on video because it's really cute. She's been going to bed a little later... 8pm. Her bedtime routine has consisted of "book, book, book"... that's all we hear! She loves to read books and she throws a fit if we read less than 3 each night. Her favorites are Brown Bear Brown Bear, the Very Hungry Catepillar, Counting Kisses and the Big Animal Book. As of next week, she is moving up to a two year old class at her daycare, even though she's not two yet (still trying to figure that out). In her new class, they will begin potty training! Seriously, is she already old enough for potty training?!?! Time has flown by with her and each day she learns something new and we learn something new about her. We enjoy every moment with her, especially lately... she is always doing or saying something that amazes us, entertains us, makes us laugh and even makes us cry. I don't know what I'd do without her. 
Happy 19 Months Pooter Poo's! I laah ooh!

Those 3 Little Words...

For obvious reasons, I tell Anna I love her ALL the time! The past few weeks I've been saying it to her and trying to get her to say it back. Last week, she finally did it! I said "I Love You" and she repeated me with her cute little "i laah ooh". It's the sweetest thing to hear. But last night I am marking down as one of my life's best moments. As I was putting her to bed, I told her I loved her and was telling her to have sweet dreams and that I'd see her in the morning. After I finished, she wrapped her arms around my neck real tight, gave me a BIG hug, then looked at me, grabbed my face with her little hands and with a big smile on her face said "I Laah Ooh!" My heart melted! I couldn't help but cry, it was so sweet to hear her say those three little words. It's moments like this that I will always cherish.
I love you too Banannas!
