Family Pics Preview

Rhonda took our family pictures last night. Here is a sneak preview of the shoot. Thank you so much for doing our pictures Rhonda! They are awesome:) Everyone needs to book a session with Rhonda and Kim.

Catch up on some videos...

I needed to catch up on some videos from several weeks ago through yesterday. The first video is Anna and Caroline. Caroline is 5 months older than Anna. She was baby talking because of Anna. She can say alot of words. Anna played in Jaxson's ball pit yesterday. As you can see, she liked it! I finally caught Anna crawling on video. She crawls faster and alot farther now. Jack and Jake really helped with the crawling:)

Our Weekend

Anna went to her first wedding this past weekend. We were not going to take her because she talks alot now. His co-workers insisted that we bring her, so we did. Anna did great during the wedding, we just had to stuff her with puffs. Towards the end she started talking some, so I would stick my gum out and then pull it back in again, and she LOVED it. We did that for the last 10 minutes of the wedding.

Then yesterday, Anna and I went for a walk with LeAnna and Jaxson. When we got home, I realized that my house key was not on my keyring, so we were locked out. LeAnna let us stay all afternoon! Thanks LeAnna! If I gave anyone my key, please let me know:)

Anna will give me a kiss if I ask her to now.

Tagged

Okay Vicki, this was my 6th folder and the 6th picture in that folder.
Thanks for tagging me. This made me cry thinking back 9 1/2 months ago when we were still in the hospital with Anna.



Now I am tagging Rhonda and Stephanie to go to their 6th file folder and the 6th picture in that file:) Have fun!

Crawling and Signing

This week has been a big week for Anna in the area of crawling and signing. She has been crawling some for about a month, but just this week she has started crawling everywhere and FAST. This morning I was cleaning a house and Anna chased me around the house while I was vacuuming. I told her she had really changed from the last time we were there - two weeks ago. She also is signing pretty well now. She signs "more" and "please" without us telling her to. She can also sign "all done". We have been working on signing since she was 5 months old and it has just now clicked. It is really cool to see her to this.

Anna and Daddy at lunch today. What a great day to be outside:)

Anna and I went to eat with Daddy today. The women at Chick-fil-a loved her. They put Anna to work.

Anna loves books:)

I decided that jeans are alot of trouble.

She loves Jack and Jake. Fran and I think she tries to say their names:)

I think Anna might like boy toys better than girl toys. Thanks for sharing your toys Jack and Jake:)

Anna is still a thumb sucker, but loves to play with the pacifier.

Our Weekend

Nana and Poppy came to stay with us this weekend. They came in Thursday night and kept 5 kids for about an hour so we could go to a funeral. When we got home Thursday night, I think they were tired. Thanks for all your help this weekend!

Still in our PJs Saturday morning.

Anna and Poppy at PF Changs. Anna signed "more" for the first time Friday night at PF Changs. Nana was feeding her yogurt, but stopped, and Anna signed more. She does it all the time now:)

The first lemon Anna tried must not have been sour because this time she made the sour face.

Mom and I went to the Duck, Duck, Goose consignment sale this weekend. Anna got some new toys, but this phone was her favorite. She puts the phone up to her ear:)

Playing...

Anna tried strawberry muffin bites Saturday. She liked picking them up off her tray and the way it tasted.

Anna crawls everywhere now.

My big girl...

Sweet smile:)

Mom and Dad said that all the kids liked playing in this Thursday night.

Jack and Jake

Anna has to be getting more teeth...everything goes in her mouth right now.

Brycen playing game cube.

Our Week

Anna has started eating some table food this week. Her first experience was with mashed potatoes, which she HATED. Next she has some cheese and loved it. She also has been eating yogurt, which is probably her favorite. Yesterday we gave Anna a lemon to lick and she liked it too. She didn't make a face at all.

OK, there is a really funny story that goes along with this picture...Carrie and I went to a great store, Steve and Barry on Tuesday. Anna and Corbin were great the two hours we were in the store. Then on the way home, Corbin got upset and started crying. Well, I am not lying..this picture is the proof, Anna put her hand over her ear and then a few minutes later she started crying. Carrie and I were rolling in the front seat:)

Mommy, I REALLY don't like these mashed potatoes.


Yum

Daddy, you're so funny.

Since yesterday was the first day of October, I decided Anna should wear a Halloween outfit to church.

Anna and I went to Freedom this afternoon to pick up Brycen and Regan. We went to visit my old students.

She got a little overwhelmed with them all in her face.
