Annabelle's Quirks

Annabelle got tagged by Amelia about a month ago (sorry Becky) and I am supposed to list 5 things you may not know about Annabelle.



1- She knows cars...well. Ross' parents have a Buick and there is one parked in front of our building and when she walks by it she will point at the Buick logo and say 'Grandpa's car'. Also, my cousin that frequently watches Annabelle, owns a Ford Focus. There happens to be a Ford focus that parks next to our car (not even the same color, mind you) and refers to it as 'Sydney's car' (Pam's daughter). There are more examples, but I will spare you....for once.


2- She wants nothing to do with cookies, cake, or ice cream (which is actually a blessing). But candy is another story. It can be so hard to say 'no' to her when she says 'Pease Mommy candy for Anna.'


3- She has the energy of 5 kids (as you may have witnessed in the previous post) and can run around, swing from my treadmill and giggle non stop. However, if 'Signing Time' or 'Word World' is on there is no way you could break her attention from the TV.



4- Annabelle has always loved to read - ever since she was a couple of months old. She loves being read to and 'reading' all by herself. She will read anything with letters on it (she loves to point them out). If she is being quiet for more than 2 seconds, most likely she is in her room surrounded by books and/or tearing my house apart.



5- Annabelle loves this baby set my mom has at her house - she played with it for 5 hours straight one Saturday. So she got one of her own. Every day when she wakes up in the morning and from her nap she no longer asks about her broken binky, but 'Where is da baby?' or 'Anna play with baby now?' She has hardly touched her other toys since she got it. I am hoping it will help prepare her for when she gets a baby brother or sister. My doctor mentioned something about it happening in June.....

Josh & Lyndi said...

Oh my! You are so funny... totally caught me by surprise on that post. Congrats! So excited for you and your growing little family!

This is a P.S. ...on the cooking blog note, you can comment and cook as little or as much as you have time for seeing as how you might be a little nauseous or have food aversions now :). It is all just for fun. I am glad you are willing to give it a look and a try every once in a while!

Melanie said...

Awesome! Congrats.

Barb said...

CONGRATS!!! I kinda had a feeling you were.

I love how sneaky you announced it, makes it even more suprising. So a summer baby huh?! June would be a good time of summer to have a baby. I blew it with both of mine in having them BOTH at the end of summer.

If you need any maternity clothes let me know, I would be glad to bring some up.

Ryan said...

What in the world are you thinking? You're not ready for another child! Haha, just kidding. Congrats! I'm sure Annabelle will love being a big sister.

Niki said...

Yeah for joining the bandwagon! Your not very far a long. Hope your not sick I am just now starting to feel better. It is scary and fun at the same time. There are times when I think what have I done but I just remember that other people are doing this all the time. Good luck and congrats.

CORYNN AND JER said...

Yay! So, from your previous comment on my blog, I'm guessing you guys (especially Ross) are hoping for a boy? I will send my boy vibes your way! 2 is crazy, but fun. It'll be like I have 3 boys when I have boy #2 in March 'cause of little Owen being here all day. A 19 month old, a 7 month old and a newborn... yikes!

Well, hope everything goes smoothly for you - don't barf too much!

Carson and Shelly* said...

CONGRATS. By the way I love that you just happened to sneak the good news randomly.

candice said...

Mike Ballard said...

Meg, that is wonderful. I am excited to hear more stories about your KIDS! I can't wait.!!

Liz said...

Yeah!! Congrats!!! It does really help that she loves babies. We gave Baylee one, two days before Madi was born and it helped a lot! She could get her baby and help her baby.
