This video is of ann crawling and pulling herself up but it isn't very good she was really sleepy when i took it i will try and get a better one

What a SWEETHEART!

Ann is eating her first biscuit... she lost it right now... it is stuck to her belly

It kind of makes my stomach turn... but she loves it!

Now that she is standing and pulling herself up she goes into the splits when she is playing with something.

Well Ann has teeth now so we brush her 2 baby teeth! I thought the picture was so cute!

SMILEY ANN MARIE

I just can't stop taking pictures of her she is just so darn happy! If you look close you can see her 2 little teeth starting to come in... now that they are in maybe we can get more teeth!

playing time with daddy!

Ann is pretty lucky to have such a fun daddy!

OK i have tried to get this squint that she makes when she smiles. She scrunches up her nose and squints her eyes and it is the cutest smile! I finally got it on camera!

Playing with Courtney and Whitney

Oh my gosh! i just can't get enough of this little girl! She is so happy! She is very proud of herself right now because she pulled herself up on the Landry basket! she tried to do it later when there wasn't any clothes in it and it fell on top of her. She has this kung fu grip on whatever she is holding and won't let go!

Whit and court playing with Ann

The new high chair her grandma Philburn got her for Christmas! She like being independent and grabbing for food on her own in it.

We loved seeing Courtney, it was the first time she saw Ann Marie!

My sister Chrissy and Ann

My brother john and his beautiful fiance Kathy... who we love!

Christmas Chaos!

I honestly don't know what we were doing i don't have a picture of Ann and my parents or Scott's mom or sibling? We are not picking favorites we are just crummy at picture taking!

Christmas With The Syracuse Family

Ann has been spoiled rotten with cute clothes and lots of toys this Christmas! My mom is on the right... enjoying being a grandma for the first time and spoiling Ann :)

My sister Chrissy got Ann a car that is a walker and scooter and Scott couldn't wait to put it together! Ann on the other hand is chewing on her very own phone.

I love this picture because Ann and Scott and both quite busy trying to get things.

Happy 1st Christmas Ann!

Grandma Syracuse's Surprise

Grandma and Ann Marie! Grams was so good with Ann is such a party girl! She loves people and new places. Ann has changed so much in these last few months and it was great to have everyone see her sweet personality.

This is a big group picture of the family and everyone who went up to surprise my Grandma Syracuse. It was so fun! I think we played the signs game for a couple of hours and finally went to bed at about 230 am!

Philburn's Christmas

Christmas day! Surrounded by presents! Ann and i Both look pretty tired! We were up all night with all teething i don't think the time changed and new enviorment helped!

Ann is a little sleepy we work her up from her nap to open gifts when all of Scott's sibling came over.

Teething anyone?

Update on the Philburn's

We had a great time in Michigan. It was so fun to see both of our families and have them see Ann. She is so BIG!! I have a lot more Christmas pictures to post but for some reason i am not able to post them right now so i will just update everyone a little bit.

We were in Michigan for about a week we were able to see my whole family and Scott's family. We went up Christmas day to surprise my Grandma Syracuse (who just turned 80 yrs old) and almost her whole family was there! She had no idea we were coming and than all 6 of her kids and most of her grand kids were there john had to work so he wasn't able to be there :( ... Dang it! IT was great to see everyone... it had been a while.

While Ann was in MI she got 2 teeth, mastered crawling and started to pull herself up on everything! She is getting so big! It was great to see everyone! On the way home we were bumped to first class so that was awesome! An Marie did pretty goo on the plane ride back she was just really sleepy and totally off schedule! With the time change and getting teeth she was up several times every night that we were there.

When we got back we were home for 3 days and then went to Idaho for Scott's nieces baptism. Now Idaho can be on Ann's list of places she has been before a year old! We went for Mateya's baptism and we spent the weekends with Scott's mom (who flew out a few days before we got there), Scott's sister Tammy and her family and his other sister Jaime. We left after Scott got back from work and as we were driving in the snow and ice our coolant light came on, as well as the check engine light than when we pulled over so i could get in back with Ann we pulled into a mud pit and got stuck! After Scott was covered in mud we finally arrived much later than anticipated but it was a great trip and we are VERY glad we went!

Now we are home. Finally home sweet home! Ann is still teething so sleep is something we dream about over here :) Hopefully the worst is over with. I have come down with a cold but hopefully it doesn't turn into more than that!

Hopefully I can put some more pictures up of Ann and her first Christmas so check back in a few days!

Christmas With The Philburn's

Christmas day we opened gifts! ps... this is me with no sleep and Ann teething!

Ann loves her new toys!

We had to wake Ann up from her nap to open gifts so she was a little out of it :)

Daddy helping Ann open her first Christmas Gift!

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!

Ann starting to scoot!

Look at those BLUE BLUE eyes!

I love her! I can't even get enough of those cheeks!

Crack Kills

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.
