clapping

Yup, I'm adorable and I know it! See me clap!

Catch-up

I know, I know. It has been almost a month since you last heard from me. But I must say, it is all my mommy's fault. Sure, she gives some lame excuse about broken computers and dead batteries, but we all know she has just been too busy. I don't know why she can't find time. I mean, I am becoming Little Miss Independant. I am crawling all over the place, and pulling myself up on everything! No stopping me now. And Mommy doesn't have to do nearly as much for me. I can follow right behind her wherever she goes! And when she is cooking, I just pull myself right up on her legs so I can help. Oh, and I met the coolest girl ever. I give her a big kiss every time I see her. She seems to spend most her time in Mommy and Daddy's closet door, but I also see her in the bathroom. Mommy says the computer and camera are fixed so I can be better about blogging. But, I've gotta go. I see something across the room that I haven't played with before. You know me, can't leave a stone unturned!

Daddy's baby proofing

So, apparently Daddy is realizing that I will be moving very soon, so he is running around the house getting everything ready for my cute little fingers. He sat me in the chair the other day (he thinks I am so cute when I act like a big girl) and to insure my safety, he put pillows on the floor in front of me. It won't be too much longer before I will be crawling on and off of those chairs.

Electric Behavior

So, what am I doing now you want to know? Well, let me tell you. I am reaching like crazy and so often I fall on my hands and knees. I figured out the other day that I can lift up one hand when I am like that. I keep trying to get to my toys (or the phone and remote) but I keep falling on my tummy. And I totally know my name, both Annalia and Anna. In fact, the other day Daddy called my name and I replied with "ah-ee", Then I did it again. Daddy was pretty excited, but I wish I could make it sound like how everyone else says it. And I am practicing holding on to my own cup. And doing a pretty good job I might add. Ignore the fact that it is upside down here. Oh, and see that cord in the corner. Like I said, I am reaching for everything now, and Daddy didn't pick that up. Did you know when you put an adaptor plug into your mouth it shocks you? My first lesson in electricity!

standing

How embarressing! My first time standing and I happen to be naked. Gee, what is wrong with my parents? Every new thing I do, their off and running for the camera, paying no attention to the fact that I am totally unfit for a picture!

Sleepover

I had my first sleepover! Since I am not even 1 year old, I was only allowed to invite one person. So I invited Xoe, and we had a blast. She fed me my sippy cup, I gave her hugs and kisses, we played in Mommy's picnic basket after the croquet game. Speaking of Croquet, my new favorite sport. we went to the St. Johns vs. Navy croquet match where Mommy and I dressed up in Victorian style dresses. Boy, we had so many people taking our pictures. I tell you, I looked so cute in my little blue dress.

Big Girl Toys

So, one of the things Mommy learned in NC is that I am old enough to play with some big girl toys. I now have blocks, and I read books. I am so cool!

Easter in NC

Vacation in North Carolina was great. Logan taught me so many things. Like how to drive, and ride on a fire truck. I taught him things too, like how to eat limes! Well, I Don't think he likes them as much as I do.

PS2 Child

Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are older, they will not turn from it.

Pretty in Pink

First of all, I am beginning to wonder if I belong to these people who call themselves Mommy and Daddy. From what I can tell, they both have dark hair. But when I check myself out in the mirror, I am seeing some blond stuff coming through. Is this genetically possible. Mommy "claims" that Daddy was blond as a baby, but I think she is just trying to make me feel better. What else is making me doubt? What Mommy would blow in thier baby's face and then dunk her under water? Well, mine did. Under the cover of teaching me how to swim and like the water. I have to admit, it wasn't that bad. I didn't cry at all. And I LOVED swimming with Kimi. She inspires me!
