Wye Mountain

Kevin, Anna and I made a trip up to Wye Mountain a few weeks ago with the Horras family and we got a few pics. Paige is a photographer and she was nice enough to take a few pics of us and I think they turned out so cute. Thanks Paige! I remember when my grandparents would take me to Wye Mountain when I was little and I always told myself I would bring my own children and carry on the tradition. I wanted to bring Anna last year but she was only 2 months old, so I was really excited that I was able to go this year. And excited that I was able to convince Kevin to go look at a bunch of flowers and have his picture taken in them. :)

 

 

 

A Day at the Dog Park

Recently our vet told us our dog Abby was overweight and she needed more exercise. So Sunday we headed out to the dog park at Rebseman Park. Abby got to run and play with tons of other dogs and Anna got tons of slobbery dog kisses. They were both covered in dog slobber by the time we left, but it was all worth it. Abby got her exercise and Anna got to play with her favorite animal... "duuug".

 

 

 

 

P.S. Anna's so close to walking. She's starting to stand up on her own and she takes a few steps before falling and saying "uh-oh".

Walking with Daddy

Here's Anna practicing her walk. So close!

Throwing A Fit

Anna's getting closer and closer to walking on her own. Tonight we tried to capture a few steps on video and we got this instead. PRINCESS!!!

Random Videos

We have tons of videos of Anna but I never take the time to post them. Here's a few recent ones for your viewing pleasure.

Lindsey came over the other night and the girls had a blast with this ball popper. The batteries are officially dead.

Uh-Oh

Anna learned a new word today... "uh-oh". It's amazing how overnight she learns something new.

Poor Baby

Anna experienced her first ear infection this past weekend. We got a call from the daycare saying her eye was swollen and draining. We took her to the doctor and sure enough, it was an ear infection. Poor thing. She had a temp of 101 and her poor eye was almost swollen shut. The doctor put her on meds and said NO DAYCARE so she stayed at home with me on Friday. By Saturday, she was back to normal. Yea! I hate it when she's sick. It makes me sad. :(

Feeling better!

Take A Stand!

Anna's been pulling up on things for a while now, but she's slowly starting to try to stand on her own. The other night, she was standing next to this toy and she kept letting go, trying to hold her balance. She would hold it for a few seconds and get so proud of herself that she'd start clapping. It was so cute!

 This is Anna's favorite thing to do these days... open cabinets! Half of our kitchen is child proofed from the family that lived there before us. We've never gotten around to doing the rest of it, but it's on our list of things to do this weekend.

 

P.S. Anna has two teeth now! Her second one started coming in on the bottom about a week after her 1st birthday.

Christian's 2nd Birthday Party

Sunday we went to Playworld to celebrate my nephew Christian's 2nd birthday party. We had a lot of fun and all the kids we entertained by all the fun toys and games and jungle gyms. Anna got to play in the toddler area in the ball pit and go down slides. She loved it!

 Avery and Papa. Avery just got a new hairdo. It's so cute!

Happy Birthday Christian! We love ya little buddy!

A Different Point of View

We finally broke down and bought Anna a new carseat. We did a trial run in the house to see what she thought. The look on her face sums it up... she loves it! She thinks she's such a big girl now!

 So we gave it a test run last night for the first time. Anna looked so cute in her big girl carseat. She was looking around and talking, having the best time! She's still a little small but she'll grow in to it.

   P.S. It took everything I had not to cry when we put her in this thing. I'm such a sap!

Playing with Anna

This little pony plays the Lone Ranger song and Anna likes to sing along with it. It's so cute to hear her sing.

 This piece of cheese stayed on her nose forever! She never even noticed!

 Anna loves her new Dora chair! She loves to crawl in it and read a book.
