Snapshots

The girls headed out on a walk. Hallie pushes her baby and mommy pushes hers!

Matching "summer" outfits in Feb, thanks Houston! 

Can't forget my purse! 

Banging my toys and looking through the window, this is the life.



Annabelle Here

Well, since I will be 9 months in two days, I figured that it was high time I started contributing to this blog :) Here is a picture of me with my daddy, and with my mommy. Its a rare occurance for me to get attention from both of them without Hallie getting in the way! Life is pretty great for me right now. I love to eat (can you tell?), I love to babble, I love being outside (just like sister) and I love love to watch Hallie. Its a good thing I came second because I could imagine that life would be pretty boring without her! She is ALWAYS busy doing something... playing, singing, screaming, talking, running, banging things... you get the idea. Sometimes I get pushed around because I am the younger one, but Hallie better watch out because I am gaining steadily on her (size wise). I am 9 months old but wearing 12-18 month clothing and I am only a head shorter than sister. I am also starting to defend myself. Hallie takes toys from me quite often but I am learning to take them back, and squeal while I do it too! I relish in the short time I get when Hallie goes down for an afternoon nap but I don't go down for another hour. That is the time I get to be spoiled by mommy and daddy. Pretty soon I'll be running around and able to keep up with Hallie, what a sight that will be!

These are a few of my favorite things (birthday gifts)

Birthdays are Awesome! I got so many great gifts! Here are a few of the gifts that I am loving right now :)

My new table and chairs that are just my size!

My new dress up trunk complete with tutus tiaras and high heels!

My new BBQ set and Bedroom set for my doll house.

My first car! Here is my first parallel parking job, haha :)

My new turtle tent, I have a great dora one but daddy says a girl can never have too many tents!

Here I am again at my table. I loooove play dough but mommy has to supervise when I play with it. Believe it or not, right now my favorite color is BLUE!

Annabelle 8 months (a little late!)

Here is my blue eyed sister at 8 months. She is still scooting away (not full on crawling yet), wants to eat at all times, loves when I make her laugh, wearing 12-18 month clothing, and totally a morning girl.

I'm TWO!

I had so much fun on my birthday! I had my first smoothie (that I got to drink by myself) and spilled it all over my birthday outfit and my carseat! Later that day, I woke up from my nap, got out of bed, turned the doorknob, and walked downstairs for the first time all by myself! I had a blast eating, opening presents, and getting lots of attention from lots of family! I am saying more and more words by the day and my newest favorite word is "mine", uh oh!

Annabelle is her Mommy!

Yep, its confirmed, I am a clone of daddy and belle is a clone of mommy! I wonder what baby #3 will look like!? But mommy says we won't find that out for a looong time ;)

Here is a collage of Annabelle and Mommy as a baby.

Annabelle Scoot/Crawls

Hands and Knees crawling has not arrived yet but full on scooting has been achieved! Yay sister, you are almost ready to start running around with me!

I love Christmas!

Christmas was good to me this year! I loved the Christmas lights, the yummy food/sweets, the Dora Christmas episodes, the Christmas books, handing out presents, especially unwrapping presents!!! It was waaay better than last year when I had no clue what was going on. I have lots of pictures to share of family and new presents!!!

Ready for Mass in our red and green striped leggings!

Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday Jesus!

I still don't quite know what is going on with this Christmas thing. Mommy and Daddy keep talking about this guy named Santa and try to make me watch the Polar Express and read The Night Before Christmas, but I'm not into it. One thing I do love about this time of year is that I become magical! Every day I stare at the Christmas tree, say "Bam!" and with the thrust of my hand, the Christmas tree lights up! Yep, I'm magical ;)

Annabelle's Photoshoot!

Daddy is still working on editing some of annabelle's pictures but I wanted to go ahead and share some. The whole shoot took place during an episode of Dora. Mommy and Daddy decided to try to do Belle's 6 month pictures themselves.

Here is a collage of my 6.5 month photoshoot and Belle's 6.5 month photoshoot. Sister is looking more and more like mommy and I remain my father's child!

We need to work on the lighting, but as you can tell, Belle is muuuch paler than I!

Here is a collage of Belle's first six months starting with 1 month in the top left.

Family Thanksgiving Picture

Our Little "Belle" is 6 Months!

My happy happy sister is 6 months old! She is quasi sleeping through the night (She loves to cry around 3am a few nights of the week but mommy and daddy let her cry herself back to sleep, thanks guys), and quasi sitting up (she can do this if you situate her juuust right, otherwise she topples over!). She pops out her paci at the sight of a bottle or cereal and follows people and sound all the way around the room.
