Annabelle's Kisses

Annabelle is a very loving little girl! She gives us lots of hugs and kisses. But, today, she did something new! At dinner, Kris gave her an air kiss and she made the kissing sound back. Check it out...

August Pictures...so far...

And now for some more recent pictures (at least in the last few weeks).

Annabelle found one of her daddy's hats (a good one to choose, might I add). "This doesn't quite seem right..."



"Aha! Now, I've got it!"




On a recent trip to the Nature Preserve for a hike, Annabelle walked allllllll around the wildflower garden area. Kris really wanted to get a picture of her looking at one of the flowers. However, Annabelle seemed to be interested mostly in the leaves and dead flowers (not making for a very pretty picture). Finally, she chose a good candidate.



Annabelle likes to help clean the floor. When Kris or I are wiping up one of her many messes, she likes to get a rag out of the drawer to help us. If only I could get her to see where the mess is, we'd be all set... (Or, if we could get her not to throw or drop food off her tray)




One evening, I had set a folded, clean towel outside her bathroom because I didn't want her running into the bathroom behind me while I put it away. Later, as we were playing in the living room she disappeared for a while. I decided to she where she had gone... She must have gone into her room to get a book from the cabinet and her lovey from her crib and brought them here to sit on the towel and read. Maybe it was time for bed?



Pictures from July



We haven't been too great about taking pictures recently, but here are a few from July. I bit late, but still...

The weekend of July 4th we went to Evansville to visit my good friend, Miranda. Annabelle had a great time exploring a new place, but I think the trip to the Children's Museum was definitely her favorite. What a great addition to Evansville!



Annabelle loves to play in the water as we fill her tub. A lot of times she likes to hold a cup underneath the flow of water and dumps it out all over herself. Then, repeat...



She also loves to go to the playground. And, although she likes to play on the equipment, she seems to get more enjoyment from exploring everything around her. Unfortunately, lately she's taken to trying to find every little piece of trash to bring to me to throw away. Although I appreciate her enthusiasm for a clean environment, it's a bit gross... Another favorite playground pastime is playing with the wood chips, especially if she can find a stick to dig with!

Crazy Spinning Baby

Annabelle LOVES to spin in circles these days. Usually, she is prompted by music, but this evening she started spinning for no particular reason. Check it out...
