FUN WITH GRANDPA AND GRANDMA SYRACUSE

It was so fun... not only to see my parents but to see Ann with her grandparents. They saw her at Christmas but i feel like her personality has exploded since she is able to walk.

My parents LOVED her! We could have just stayed at their house and played the whole time. It took a few days for them to be able to hold her and few more for Ann to willingly walk to them.

I don't think since Ann was born there has been someone that was around 24 7 . It was fun to have my parent know Ann. Explaining her hilarious personality on the phone just doesn't do her justice.

Trip to FLORIDA

ANN WAS SUCH A TROOPER!

We have no idea where she got those blue eyes?

Ann in the airplane trying desperately to walk around and play

This picture is Ann and I at the airport. We woke up the day before with colds. As you can see we both have red noses! So aside from not being able to breath and blowing my nose every few seconds the plane ride was good. An did great with landing and even on our lay over. I think she just loves new places and people to see.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We all dressed in green for the holiday. We had a great day with awesome weather!

This picture is of Scott and Ann playing on their laptops. My mom got her this for Christmas and she LOVES it!

So Scott took this video after she said mama and i thought the camera was off but her was secretly taping us. I think it is pretty cute with her chunky little legs. She loves to play with that little toy that sucks out her boogers... don't worry i cleaned it out and watch her really close so she doesn't hurt herself :)

Ann Says Mama

Ann has said daddy since she was like 5 months old and just barely started to mama so i am pretty proud of this :)

Ok so Ann Does walk better than this but it is really hard to get her to walk when the camera is on. Now she will stand in the middle of the room all by herself and take steps to try and walk! She is SOO fun! She gets so excited when she can walk!

Ann is WALKING!!!

Last Sunday Ann took her first few steps! Scott and i Were amazed! A few days later i was trying to take a picture of Scott with Ann and she loves the camera- She wanted it so bad that she let go of Scott and walked over to me with the camera. She took like 3 steps all by herself!

We were trying to get a video of her walking but she wants the camera so bad that i had to hide so she would walk with out being distracted. So this video is me behind out rocking chair and scott is thowing things that she wants so she will walk to the couch.

WHAT A BIG GIRL!

Well here I am. Scott loves taking random pictures.

Cute family picture ! Ann is getting SOO big!

Ok so i think this picture is SOO cute! She crawls down the hall way and pulls herself up to look at the mirror. So cute except for the duct0 tape that is really ghetto. We live in this crummy 1 bedroom bsmt apt. Someday we won't live in a cave without natural light and have duct tape all over our house :) ... Someday... Hopefully ...

Ann loves to read it is probably one of her favorite things to do. The second you are done with one book she will grab another for you to read. She just sits there and flips through the pages... normally on the floor but Scott had put her ion the rocking chair and she looks like such a big girl !

Ann's big girl bed!

Oh i love this girl! She is SOOO funny :) We were getting ready for church and she was just making these silly faces. Here she is in her Christmas dress.... so pretty!

ann's big crib. i LOVE it! My family went in on it and got this for ann and ... it is my favorite!!

Her bed has been up for a while i just wanted to take a picture so family at home could see it. I know i know she probably shouldn't sleep on a pillow and a big thick blanket but she sleeps through the night with it... so she does :) Plus we are not worried about her smothering herself since she's pretty much walking.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Ann's Valentines Dress! It is actually a 18 month outfit that my mom sent with little pants for the summer but i just couldn't help but stick her in the top for Valentines!

We had a good Valentines. We watched the Harris kids (the people i used to nanny for) the parents went out of town and we had fun with the kids. They have a huge house and Ann was in heaven with their 2 cats 3 dogs and huge house. She also discovered stairs for the first time and mastered them in one try... She is one determined little girl!

Ann is back to her old self!!!

She has just found the pots and pans and like every other small child loves to pull them out 10 times a day and bang them on the ground.







As you can see little Ann Marie is back to her old self again! Playing, walking along everything, eating all things she shouldn't have and smiling all the time! It is good to have her personality back!

Happy Ann with her Mama! It is so nice to be getting sleep again!

She is so funny! Now she is exploring the whole house!

Look at those blue blue eyes! I don't think ske looks much like me .... but she sure is cute! She just has the sweetest personality!

PHILBURN HOUSE IS UNDER QUARANTINE

Last Sunday night Ann started to get sick and was up for many hours during the night... which means lots of sleep for mommy :) ! All she wanted was to be held....Which anyone who know her knows that she is a very busy bee! It was kind of nice to just be able to sit and cuddle with her (but i don't wish her being sick and not feeling well)

She had a runny nose and a little cough so we decided to take her in a few days later! Going to the doctors we find out she has a super bad sore throat, ear ache, and RSV. Plus she is teething! Her top 2 teeth are starting to come through... as she grinds her teeth on anything hard! After a few sleepless night Ann seems to be back to her old self! She is happy and with a few minor symptoms seems to be doing way better! Thankfully, none of her illnesses got to bad.

Scott and I have joked about being in quarantine because we haven't left the house for several days ... i am pretty crazy about getting anyone else sick! We have friends who have little babies so i wanted to be realty careful!

Scott jokes about having cabin fever and he wants to get out of the house for some fresh air! Luckily Ann is doing way better and we are on the down ward slope of her being sick. It is just nice to have Ann back to her old self again!

PHILBURN HOUSE IS UNDER QUARE

QUARANTINE

We had to give a visual of Ann's legs to friends and family it is even better in person! Here is a front and back for the whole view of her chubby little legs.

Ann just realized that she is big enough to pull herself up on a chair and she's short enough stand under the table all by herself!

Ann loves Agi! She just chases her all over the house.

After she pet her she grabs at her fur and rips some out! Agi LOVES it! jk

Ann and her new big bath!

Ann was getting so big for her baby bath she needed something bigger. Our bath tub is pretty gross so we opted to blow up this bath tub that is way bigger than her other one instead of letting her bath in the dirty tub.

As you can tell... She LOVES it! This was her first big girl bath and she was so excited to have the freedom to play and grab for the foam toys. Of coarse she is still out little puppy dog and keeps one in her mouth almost all the time when she is in the tub. When we take her out she always carries at least 2 with her out of the tub.

Ok this picture made us laugh so hard! Look at all of those ROLLS on her belly!!!

Ann is usually a little chatter box and when she has a toy in her mouth she can't talk so she blows on the toy because she has to be making some kind of noise all the time.

another video of ann growing up way too fast!

Happy 27th Birthday Scotty

Naughty naughty playing with computer cords ... and (loving it)!

great picture!

I love her face staring at the candles.

Happy Birthday Scott! He's 27 years old and still looking great!

What a beautiful jello poke cake!

Ann walking with her little car that she got for Christmas! She has been walking pretty good with it... everyday i tell her to just be a baby! She doesn't have to grow up so fast! She loves to walk, she prefers it to crawling by far. Her favorite thing to do is play with a toy when she is standing by the couch. Scott think she will walk soon... i don't know but she's getting really strong!

Our family picture!

Ann is our little puppy dog. She really loves putting things in her mouth and goes along playing with other things it is pretty funny :)

Ann loves Agi she was chasing her all around and she finally just jumped up on the chair and now that ann can pull her up she can't hide up there!
