Happy 18mo to me!

2010-04-29T07:12:00.000-07:00

I know I've been kind of vacant from my blog but there are just so many things going on in my life right now! Everyday mom is keeping me busy with park appearances and meetups with friends. I barely have time to take a nap :) I don't mind though cause its so much fun since we've been a little cooped up over the winter. I go to the dr. next week for my checkup but I'm sure that everything is going to be cool. We'll see though...I heard a rumor this might be my last appointment for awhile! Yay! No more shots :)

15mo old!!!!

2010-02-02T08:00:00.000-08:00

Wow! Can you believe it?! I went to the dr. and she said such nice things about me too! I'm growing great coming in at 32in/26lbs/18.5in noggin....pretty much puts me in the 90th% all the way around! She also said I had pretty hair and gave me some good news that my next appointment will be the last time she sticks me with the needles!!!! Not that they hurt that bad anymore, I'm a tough cookie :) And good news is almost all of my teeth are in now! I can finally get a good nights sleep!

getting ready to go...

home sweet home...

just looking out the window wondering when dad's comin home from work! the bandaid from my shots stuck to my shirt...it had some girl named dora on it.

happy birthday...to me!!!!!1

2009-10-29T18:42:00.000-07:00

o.m.g. today was my birthday and it has been fantastic...well minus those shots the doctor gave me. first thing cool about my day was the awesome present that mom and dad got me. it has a hammer and lights and makes sound...i love it! then i went to that doctor lady and she said i was beautiful and growing right on target....24.4lbs and 30in! then i came home and took a nap and guess what happened when i woke up? i got to go to the play area at the mall...talk about the best place ever! and to make my day even better dad brought me home the most delicious piece of cake ever. it was such a long day but mom said she was preparing me for some costume party that i'm having on sunday. i'm going to be a bumblebee. i can't wait to see all my friends so they can play with my cool new toys and eat birthday cake with me!

While I was at the party I got to hang out with one of my main dudes Levi. He's super cute and I like to try and bully him around. He's just a couple weeks older than me and he can walk. I can't wait til I figure that out for good!

Party time!

2009-09-02T11:06:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I went to this awesome party and got to see some of mommy and daddys friends that I haven't seen in a long time. They gave me sweet kisses and I gave them some of my signature open mouth kisses back! I love these girls and can't wait to see them again!!

zoo!

2009-09-02T10:53:00.000-07:00

i love going to the zoo, lately we've been going a lot. and now that i can stand i get to see all the cool fishes in the big giant tank of water! it is by far my favorite thing to do. i could stay there all day long! auntie sus also gave me a big giant yummy apple that i snacked on for lunch...yummo!

i love the park

2009-09-02T10:49:00.000-07:00

the park is so much fun! there are so many fun things that i can do there. my favorite is the swing and then my next favorite is the toy where all the things spin around. i also took a couple rides down the slide, i can't wait til i can go down myself!!

guess what i can do...

2009-08-27T12:07:00.000-07:00

Day 3: Dupont St. Park

2009-08-02T18:40:00.000-07:00

On the third day of vacation we went to Dupont State Forest. It was really pretty. There were a lot of waterfalls. We hiked (i rode on mom's back) for 8miles!! Lots of hills and it even rained on us! Of course I got in some great naps too :)

more Dupont pics

9mos old!

2009-07-31T21:47:00.000-07:00

I nearly forgot to post that I turned 9mos old on Wednesday! I went to the doctor to get my checkup and she said I look great like I always do! I also got some new stats...

height: 28.5 in
weight: 20.14lbs
head: 17in

I am getting big! Also she said that she could tell that some more of my teeth are going to be coming in. I already knew that because they HURT! The next time I go back to the doctor is in 3mos...I'll be 1 whole year old then! Mom and Dad said they were going to have a party for me :)
With cupcakes and that I could invite all my friends! I can't hardly wait!!!!!

Day 2: Blue Ridge Parkway

2009-07-28T19:35:00.000-07:00

On the second day we drove down the very pretty Blue Ridge Parkway. It was a very curvy road that went high up into the mountains. We made a bunch of really cool stops! First we stopped at the Folk Art Center then we went to the Arboretum and saw some super cool plants and flowers! After that we did a bunch of driving on the parkway...The coolest stops we made were at the top of Mt. Pisgah and at Graveyard Fields. There are waterfalls at Graveyard Fields and although mom wouldn't let me get near them she did have a little accident where she slipped in the current and got our butts wet! After that long day of driving we finally got to my Great Aunt and Uncle's house! We relaxed and had burgers at night and I got to meet my new friend Emma :)

Day 1: Asheville, NC

2009-07-28T19:33:00.000-07:00

On the first day of vacation we drove and drove and drove until we got to Asheville, NC. Its such beautiful place. While we were there we stayed at a hotel and visited some of mom and dad's friends who opened up a restaurant by the Billtmore Estate. They make a mean grilled cheese there! We also walked around downtown too where we saw the original Woolworths store and lots of cute little shops and restaurants. I got to try some delicious cinnamon crumb cake ice cream too. Yummo!

Vacation!

2009-07-28T08:13:00.000-07:00

My first vacation!!!

2009-05-25T17:27:00.001-07:00

Mom and Dad took me to Washington DC to see Uncle Matthew. The trip wasn't that bad, mostly I just slept in the car. When we got there though I had soooooo much fun! First we went to the Arlington Cemetary and walked and walked, then we did a driving tour of Washington. the next day we went to museums where I got to see dinosaur bones, diamonds, snakes, bugs, the first flag and Abraham Lincoln's hat! We also went to Mount Vernon when George Washington lived. It was the coolest place ever....except for in his house. During the tour I made a big, giant scene and screamed so loud because I wanted out!! Secretly Uncle Matthew and Dad were pinching me because the line was moving so slow and wanted to speed up our tour :) Here are some pictures! (sorry the pictures are in a weird order)

taking a bath in the sink!

2009-05-10T17:55:00.000-07:00

it was a fun filled weekend! we had a blast. i like going there because i get to do whatever i want and not get in trouble. i also like going there because they have a puppy and she gives me sloppy kisses that make me giggle. there are always lots of hugs and kisses there, which just happen to be some of my favorite things as well! i love you grandma!

6mo Update!

2009-04-30T10:36:00.000-07:00

I had my doctors appointment today and it wasn't too bad, only 2 shots today and I hardly even cried. She said that I look great! In fact she said I was one of the healthiest babies she sees...because she hardly sees me! She said that I was growing great and that mobility is in my near future...as well as my two front teeth! I can't wait for those, maybe then I'll be able to eat all that yummy stuff that mom and dad eat. Anywho. I sure have grown too...

weight: 17lbs (71th percentile)...up 2.5lbs from 4mo
height: 27in (90th percentile)...up 1.5in
head: 16.5in (34th percentile)....looks like i'm not getting moms big noggin!

Hopefully you'll all have a chance to see me soon! I'm growing and changing so fast! I miss you all!

xoxo,
Annabel

2009-04-25T08:19:00.000-07:00

Me and Grandpa were reading the funny pages...well he was reading them too me and I was trying to eat them. I like to take naps with Grandpa after he's done reading the paper to me, everything is so much more comfy at his house!

Pushups and funny faces...

2009-04-25T08:14:00.000-07:00

I love to play on the floor at Grandpa Ron's, his floor is soft and squishy...not like back home. Also check out my sweet sweater pants! Mom made them for me, they are so much fun!

I'm sooo behind on my blogging! My new friend Lauren was born April 6th! We went to see her and her mom and dad at the hospital the day after and she is sooooo pretty :) I thought it would be fun to post a couple pictures of my when I was that old too!

Maddie's Baptism

2009-04-25T07:32:00.000-07:00

This is my cousin Maddie and her mom and dad at her baptism. It was a really pretty church and the pastor told a really funny story about sheep!

Her dress was so pretty I had to get my picture with her.

This is the present I got for her! She said thanks and that it tasted yummy! I knew she would love it :)

And finally just one of me and dad! I love him lots and lots!

First Tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-04-15T13:01:00.000-07:00

Today my very first tooth came in...actually it came in last night but I didn't show it to mom and dad until today. I'm so excited and so far it hasn't really hurt me too bad. You can see it on the right and the one next to it is coming in too but its not as noticeable. Everyone at dad's office was trying to give me all these yummy foods that you can eat when you have teeth they all sounded so wonderful and delicious. Check back soon too, I have a lot of pictures from Easter.

pushups

2009-04-03T07:49:00.000-07:00

now that i figured out how to do pushups i see there is a whole world outside of my crib. this has really hindered my ability to take naps :)

a better example of my pushup.

and please don't mind the drool!

New Stuff

2009-04-03T07:44:00.000-07:00

my new stroller! i love love love it!! we go for walks almost everyday now. the outside is so nice refreshing...perfect for long naps!

this is the new giant toy thats currently taking up the entire living room. i've been begging mom and dad to get me one of these for forever! i have so much fun jumping around in it...as you can see by my smiles and wild hair!

5mos old

2009-03-31T18:32:00.000-07:00

Wow! I can't believe that I am a whole 5mos old already! Very recently I have started doing some really cool things like rolling over, doing pushups, sticking my tongue out and sitting up (with a little help). The rolling stuff is so much fun and when I get off of the carpet onto the hardwood floor i can really get things a moving. I just kind of slide everywhere, once I figure out this crawling thing look out! I had a lot of fun on my 5mo birthday too. I got to see Uncle Matthew, I haven't seen him since Christmas!!! His new girlfriend took this picture of me...don't tell mom but Uncle Matthew stuffed my cheeks full of chocolate! Can't you tell :)

Also keep an eye out for some videos soon! Since I have finally mastered the rolling over mom will get a good one of me and put it up here!

Lazy days...

2009-03-31T18:21:00.000-07:00

My crib is for more than just sleeping! I get to play with all my fun toys in here too. This mirror is my favorite...to chew on and to look into and to talk to. It's just the best!

Hanging with Abby

2009-03-31T18:15:00.000-07:00

Last week mom and I broke Abby out of the house for some shopping. We had to return my new stroller because the wheel wasn't working right. But I had a lot of fun...as you can see by my smiles...hanging out with Abby. I am soo excited for Lauren to get here, she's due to arrive on the 6th!!! Yay!!!

2009-03-20T08:19:00.000-07:00

Meeting the spoon...

2009-03-20T08:14:00.000-07:00

Today is the big day! Mom is feeding me this stuff called oatmeal. But first I had to get to know the spoon, its kinda weird but I had fun playing with it. As you can see in the last one I'm getting a bit scared. What is this crazy lady trying to do! More food pics to come...

Me and Winston

sewing!

2009-03-10T15:43:00.000-07:00

a couple days ago mom was teaching me how to sew. she said she's not as good as either of my grandmas but practice makes perfect. i just couldn't decide which fabric i liked better either so i tasted them and for sure it was the purple one!
