All about AnnaBelle
AnnaBelle turned one year old on December 5th 2008!
A beautiful girl who has made our life and family more joyful and complete since the day she arrived. Anna has a sweetness about her that is heartwarming to say the least. She has the ability to make just about anyone she comes in contact with feel loved. We are absolutely in love with this very affectionate and cuddly girl, who would much rather hug and squeeze her stuffed animals than play with any toy. Her other favorite thing to do is bring books to Mommy or Daddy and just sit on our laps while we thumb trough the pages and read or name what's on the page for her. She's eager to learn and pays very close attention to every turn of the page. We're delighted that she is starting to talk now. A few words have just started to become clear to us in her speech. Mom, Daddy, all done, bottle, hi, and I love you are the most recognizable. It is so much fun watching her play with her big sister! Practically a big kid, she goes running full speed through the house playing chase. They jump together in whomever's bed/crib they happen to be in at the same time. She dances to music and sings along whenever she hears the sound of other voices singing. It's hard to believe how much she has grown considering how tiny she started out.
Catching Up!
So here we are in a new year and I am way behind on my postings! Thank you Bart for making sure we at least got Christmas documented on our blog. So here is a recap and excuses for my lack of postings. First, my gall bladder problem came back with a vengeance. I have had several attacks and one that took me to the ER again. I'm also PREGNANT! As great as that is, it has brought me to a life of living on the couch, eating crackers, and hugging a large bowl while watching my two little ones destroy the family room. I haven't been able to do much of anything for the last several weeks until now. I'm feeling different now that the end of my first trimester is in sight. Therefore, I'm trying to return to some normal activities. It's nice feeling more than just half alive again! So the dates might not match the activities but here's to catching up!
