A Day in the Life

When you are a baby there are lots of important things to accomplish each day. Here are some of the highlights of Annaleigh's day...

--check e-mail and stocks

--Choose the next book. (The Very Hungry Caterpillar is so yesterday)

--Eat the purple elephant's foot

--Choose which toys say "cool and sophisticated"

--Pumps some iron at the gym (and show off your guns)

--Chill in the tub

--Make all the other babies jealous of how cute you are

Phew! What a busy day!

Go me

Look what I put in all by myself.

Excuse me while I sprain my arm patting myself on the back.

Seven Months

Here are a few things that have made this month so fun and full of changes:



- Annaleigh is thisclose to crawling - she can gets up on her hands a knees and rocks - she recently figured out how to move her legs, but has not mastered the hands yet


-She loves to feed herself - cheerios, bananas, blueberries - anything small that she can pick up


- We found the first food she doesn't like - pork loin (honestly it wasn't that good - maybe she would like it if I was a better cook)


-Annaleigh gets distracted by her so-suckable thumb while trying to get the food from her tray to her mouth


-the sippy cup has been mastered! She still fusses a bit about drinking formula out of the cup, but LOVES applejuice (like mother like daughter)


-Hide and seek is her new favorite game


- The dogs provide lots of entertainment. Annaleigh yells at them until they look at her and then laughs like a maniac


-She also loves the bath tub, espceially when we spray water on her.

This dog isn't safe from the drool (Dutch and Emory, watch out!)

6 Month Portraits

We were a little late getting Annaleigh's 6 month portraits done, but in the end they turned out too cute! We had a great photographer who even convinced AJ and I to get in the pictures.

One of the few shots where she wasn't eating the flower.

Doesn't she look like a porelain doll? (Though those dolls are creepy and Annaleigh is not)

Our happy family!
