Ann with her Aunti Cindy

Aunti Cindy is VERY Interesting... Ann was all about getting her phone!

Uncle Ben and Aunt Cindy... SO cute!
We love you Cindy you are the BEST!


Aunt cindy spoils ann like crazy! It was fun to see my sister finally be able to see Ann in all the little outfits she got her. WE HAD A BLAST!







Merry Christmas!

Ann's Great Grandma got her this little bear that sings and she loves it!

Thanks Zsofi for broadening Ann's wardrobe to a European brand! She's high CLASS!





Bow that Ann is rolling she takes the blankets with her sometimes and gets all rolled up like a burrito!


Sorry about not posting things for a while. We went to Michigan and visited our friends and family. Ann is not an experienced traveler with several trips under her belt before she's even 1 years old! We celebrated Christmas in Utah before we left because we didn't want to haul all of our gifts to Michigan. For the first time we decided to not go all out and stick with a really small budget and it was great... we had a wonderful Christmas and it is even better staying well under our budget!

What a BIG girl!

Sitting up all on her own. It looks like there are pillows behind her but she's really sitting up all by herself!
Loves to be on the ground. Such a handsome girl! Just kidding! Over thanksgiving she was wearing a bow with a little blue outfit with hearts and flowers and people kept on calling her a boy. "Oh he's so handsome!" What a hansom little fella... so now every once in a while we'll say - OH your SO handsome!



She loves to eat her passy clip.

I left a box of cereal on the table and when i turned around somehow Ann got a hold of it and then a second later cherrios covered the floor... my reflexes need to be a bit better.



Ann playing with her toys. I lay her on a blanket and she flog leaps over to her pick basket and grabs all of the toys out and playes with them. She thinks it is so funny to empty out the basket.




PRECIOUS!




Somehow these clothes are 6-12 months and she is out growing them! She is standing and holding on to things more and more.
For a while i wasn't sure she liked when we kiss her but recently she has loved it! She smiles and nuzzles in when we give her a smooch!





Aww.. she is loving on her daddy... trying to eat his face :)



WHAT A BIG GIRL!

Mama's little helper

Well it is just Ann and I for the next few days! I t was so hard for Scott to leave Ann, it seems like everyday she does something new! He just left today for a PA interview in West Virginia. After a long LONG flight he has to drive a few hours away to Philippi. We are so excited and nervous. Try to keep us in your prayers!






I am thinking of a number between 1 and 10...

When Ann wakes up she normally yells to let me know that she up and today i heard something different like shrills of excitement and i walked in the room and she rolled over from her back to her belly and was so happy and smiley i had to run and get the camera. She was just talking to herself- gabbing away.



We call this her Maggie suit. She is just getting strong enough that she can move her hands and she doesn't mind it as much as she use to. It keeps her warm... she's much out grown it!


Ann and he cousin Whitney.


Her she is getting strong. Scott gets so excited when she gets up on her knees and starts to scoot around.



Ann was playing with her daddy... of coarse when this big black camera gets in her way she just stares blankly at it.Here she is trying to grab Scott's face. She is grabbing for toys and loves to get a hand full of your neck skin or cheeks

I was trying to get a good picture of us and she just wanted to play and attack my face ... i pretty much love it!



Now she's trying to eat me! She loves to eat anything! Her favorite thing right now is a plastic cup that we drink out of... it is amazing how fast those chubby hands can get that cup. I have quite slow reflexes so we get soaked with water pretty often in our house.



We were trying to get her to roll. She was rolling like crazy. Like her daddy said- she's not a performer.

Ann Marie went with me to vote. She was very well behaved and the lady gave her a sticker as well :)
Obviously, by this picture you can see she was not thrilled with the candidates :) Just kidding


She loves wearing just her diaper and having tummy time... don't all babies love to be naked? Well Ann is no exception!

This was a long long day after church. We were so exhausted and Scott thought it was hilarious we both fell asleep like that :) Ann is normally pretty good at church and just loves to see all of the people.
I feel like it is hard to time feedings and church so i normally have to miss a section of church while i am feeding her. Scott is always pretty excited when she fusses at church because he can take her out especially when the speaker is a little monotone :) ... what a good daddy! Actually i love that he is willing to bounce her and make her happy!

Happy Halloween

Yarn 2$, Fabric 3$, socks 2$

Ann's First Halloween costume... PRICELESS

I am pretty proud of myself... this costume was about 8$ to make. Wig and all. We didn't want to spend 20$ on stripe tights she won't wear very often so we bought ladies socks and her chubby thighs just kept them up!








Scott and i were faries. Scott doesn't have his wings on in this picture but you can see his tights. Not very many men would be secure enough to be a farie ( and be excited about wearing tights) He wore them all day at work... i even made him some short short scrub bottoms so you could see more of the tights ... that was his idea :) Don't get me wrong i was wearing pink tights as well i don't think you can see them in picture. We sure do have fun!

BIG SMILES!!!

We are so lucky... she's the happiest baby ever!

This video is so fun. Ann is just so happy all the time. When Eric and Jaime were over Jaime was making her laugh and after a while Scott said to grab the camera- so we caught the tail end of Ann... just being Ann happy as can be.

As i explain in the video- Ann just learned how to arch her back and few days after i took this she rolled. We still have yet to get that on video. It just sneaks up on us and she rolling. She thinks it's so funny to arch her back when we are holding her, trying to put her to sleep, and when we are buckling her in the car seat. This new found independence makes our lives a little trickier... but as always we love it!

Ann and her daddy just snuggling together... look at those big blue eyes!
Ann and Lily. Lily is Jaime (scott's sister) and Eric's daughter. We watched her for a few hours while they went to a wedding. Lily loved Ann and had a blast just haning her toys. They played so well together. Well... Lily played well with Ann.

Ann loves her new exersauser. She jusp playes with all the toys and loves being able to move around on her own.



I love this picture!
