Juicing

Sean & I have been juicing for a few meals lately.  Dex loves to help...

And here's Annabel.  Just because :)

Anna - Mobile & Pulling Up

Sooo.... here we are at 8 months, and Anna is crawling like a champ and she thinks she can pull up on anything.  She is a little unstable, but she is determined and will work until she gets UP!  We lowered her bed because I walked in there once and she had pulled herself up and the edge was about at her waist.  If she'd have wanted to, she could have flipped right out!  Mom & Dad warned me that she was doing that, but I guess I just had to see it for myself :)

*Annie-bel in her new lowered bed*

Mommy cleaning out Dex's clothes and Anna thought the silver shine-y trash can was pretty interesting...

Checking herself out.

Growing so fast, but I couldn't be happier.  I just love how they grow and learn.  Such fun to watch!

Shopping Like a Big Girl

This has been a couple of weeks, but I wanted to put some pictures up of the first time Anna sat in a buggy like a big girl!  She would NOT look at me.  There were just so many other things to see.  And people kept coming by and distracting her  :) 

Taking After Her Daddy :)

Thank goodness her bouncer has a headrest!!

Anna's Bath Time

Anna is finally able to sit up in the bathtub by herself without me hovering... so I brought my camera, because honestly I just LOVE bath time pictures for some reason!

Looking through these I think maybe I should have wiped the food off her face first.  But then I think, nah; that orange sweet potato really complements her complexion.  Plus the crab is orange, so...

Hello, my sweet love :) 

Puffs!

Babies LOVE them some Puffs!  And Annabel is no exception.  She eats them all the time, and maybe about 1/3 of them make it into her mouth.  The others are all over our floor, in her seat, or stuck to some part of her body.  :)

Compare

For those of you that are too lazy to go back and compare :) Hehe...

I was, and then I actually went back and looked and noticed such a HUGE difference that I had to share!

My goodness!  What a difference a year makes!!
