Our Crazy Daughter

Over the weekend Anna made us laugh quite a few times. First was Friday evening; Ross and I were getting Anna ready for bed, which includes giving her a bath. While the tub was filling up and I was gathering her stuff, Ross was changing her diaper. She must have been super excited about her bath because as soon as her diaper was off she bee lined it straight for the bathroom. I turned around to see this lil' naked girl crawling right towards the tub. She pulled herself up to the tub, but couldn't get herself in (thank goodness!) Once I put her in, she had a blast! For some reason, this video wouldn't upload to blogger, so you gotta follow the link to watch.

I know I have mentioned how much Anna likes to read her books and I don't know if it's just me, but I think it's so funny! Sometimes it actually looks like she is reading the books to herself. This is before she went to bed that evening. Sorry, it's kind of dark.

I was getting Annabelle ready for the day the following morning (hence she is only wearing her onsie) and she went over to her key board and started dancing. I tried to capture it on video, but the batteries went dead before I could get her REALLY jammin'. But it's still funny.

I know I have mentioned how she likes to pull everything out from under the entertainment center, but now she likes to get in it as well. She likes when I open and close the door while she is inside and play 'peek-a-boo' she is just the right size!

I know it was a lot of videos to tolerate, but at least you had Ross's voice to narrate 2 of them this time. Seriously, I spend half my day just laughing at my daughter - she cracks us up!

Trick-or-Treat

Since everyone else is posting pictures of their kids in their Halloween costumes, I thought I would share some of Anna with you. She will be a fairy this year. I was so worried that the costume would be too big for her, but as you can tell, it's not. Ross thinks she looks like the fat kid in class who wears clothes that are too small. It really isn't too small for her though.




I gave her my phone to play with and then took it away so I could get this picture of her. She was not happy about it at all.


She is constantly grabbing at her headband and shoes, but I figure for the short time she will be wearing it, it's all good. And yes, she will be trick-or-treating this year. Ross has been looking forward to this part of fatherhood since before we were even pregnant.

What We've Been Up To

I know it has been a while since I posted last, but I couldn't really think of anything to post about. There wasn't anything spectacular that happened that deserved its own post. However, looking back over the last couple of weeks there were a few things that TOGETHER could make a good post, I suppose.





On September 29 I ran a 5K with my dear friend Barb at the American Fork Hospital. Our goal was to beat the hospital administrator (if you did, you won free movie tickets). We both beat him and now we both have a paid date night for the future. I actually got first place in my age division and Anna loved playing with the medal.

Ross loves making Anna do things he likes to do and to document the moments by making me take pictures. Anna looks as enthused about playing X Box as I do.

The other day I was feeding Anna her breakfast when she took a huge bite and then sneezed. She has done this before and made a mess, but this sneeze must have had some extra force with some extra food. This is my arm covered in mixed veggies and the wall behind me sporting them as well.

And finally, the other day while Ross and I were eating dinner, Anna was hanging out in her high chair, eating some rice puffs and listening to us talk. Ross has been trying to convince me how he needs an X Box 360. Somewhere in the conversation, I forget how it exaclty was brought about, I said "Yeah! An X Box 360!" in a very sarcastic voice. We looked at Anna in her high chair and she was clapping and saying "Yeah!" It was too funny. She is trained! Although, Ross took it as a sign that he really should get the X Box. So I thought I would post her showing off her talent.
