The before picture of finger painting. Annie's new favorite-corn on the cob!

She takes a pretty big dent out of it too!

Yesterday Annie and I were in the car driving home from the grocery store and we were singing the alphabet. I could hear her singing but, I wasn't really paying attention. When we started singing it again, I heard her say "E,F,G"!! It was the cutest thing ever! She knows "E,F,G" and "Q,R,S"! Only 20 letters to go! Today we worked on A,B,C,and D! She is trying her hardest to say anything you ask her these days! Her new phrase is "Hi chica!". Not completely sure where she got that one but still pretty funny!

In other exciting news, Annie has started using the potty some! Last weekend she went a couple of times and she has went a few more times this week! She starts dancing on her potty when it plays a song. We are still very far from being "potty trained" but, you have to start somewhere!

Here are some pictures of the cutest little girl for your viewing pleasure!

Summer time!

More pictures to come soon!

Vacation 2009

Last week we went on vacation with my family to Destin, FL. Annie had a blast! She loved the beach, she would just take off and walk straight out into the water! She was fearless! She also loved scooping the sand and playing with all the sand toys. We also dunked her under the water in the pool and she loved it! We went on a boat ride and Annie fed the seagulls and watched the dolphins pop up out of the water! We had a great time and the weather was beautiful!

May Moments

Pushing her baby stroller. For some reason she thinks it's funny to

throw the baby out and then put her back in!

She loves playing in water! No matter where she is!

So excited to see Daddy pull in the driveway!

I love those blue eyes!

Loving bath time!

Her New Obsession

I think Mitch's shoes are bigger than her body!
Mine are a little closer to her size!

This is what Annie has been up to lately! She LOVES to put on any shoes she finds lying around. It is hilarious to watch! She is getting so good at putting them on and has been trying to walk in them! She is definitely a girl!

"Cheese"

Annie saying "cheese" in her new sunglasses!
She loves her new chair! She is so big now!

She loved splashing around outside with Daddy!

"Duckie, duckie"! She cannot be trusted to throw the bread.

She wants to eat it herself!

My little musician! Yet another trait she gets from Mitch!

Easter 2009

We had such a wonderful Easter this year. Annie is at the perfect age and loved every part of it, from opening her Easter basket to hunting Easter eggs! Mitch and I put her Easter basket together about a week before and I couldn't wait to hide it. I don't know what I was thinking though, you can't hide a one year old's Easter basket! This year the Easter Bunny left it out in the open in the living room but, next year she will have to hunt it down!

Annie looked SO cute in her pink and green polka-dot dress with her massive pink bow! I always lay her clothes out and Mitch always dresses her on Sunday mornings. He has gotten so good at putting on all of Annie's girlish accessories from tights to bloomers and bows! When he reached for the bow on Easter morning he looked at me and said "Seriously?" I shook my head yes and he said "Blair, we used to talk about people that put these bows in their daughter's hair"! And the truth is, we did! Now I know why they did it, because it is so darn cute! I know that it was practically the same size as her head but, it looked so adorable that I just couldn't resist! Everyone at church thought so too and she was definitely not the only little girl with an enormous bow in her hair!

Mitch's parents came down the weekend before Easter and brought all of us chocolate Easter bunnies. Yummy! Annie had a great time visiting with her MeMomma and G Daddy. On Easter afternoon we went to my parents house and had Easter dinner and an egg hunt with her cousins. All of the girls did so good and found a bunch of eggs! Nana and Papa got Annie an Easter basket with lots of treats! Easter 2009 was so great and here are a few photos from it!
