It's A New Year!

Hi Everybody,

This is a year of lots of new things for me.

1. I am working on climbing the stairs.


2. I got to meet my cousin Ella who lives in Arizona.


3. I am working on feeding myself (mommy says its a work in progress)


4. I am trying new foods (mommy and daddy make me try all these crazy things. I mean seriously does ground up beans and turkey even sound yummy?)


5. I am making new friends. This is my friend Bennett; we hung out on New Year's Eve.


6. I can stand all by myself. Now I will be working on taking those first steps!


7. I am exploring my world! There is so much to see, touch, and put in my mouth :)


8. I am playing, playing, playing!


9. I am eating at restaurants.


10. I'm learning how to read (not really, but my mommy is a teacher and she thinks I'm advanced. I told her that I just look at the pictures and chew the book. She said that is okay and it is the first step in becoming a good reader.)


I'm looking forward to an exciting year. I will be 1 soon and I am sure there will be lots of new things for me to learn!

I love you all,

Annabelle Rose

Holiday Catch-Up!

Hi Everyone,

We have been so busy these past few weeks that I haven't been able to keep you updated on what is going on.
I'll try to do a quick catch up.

We went to Chuck E. Cheese for Caden's 3rd Birthday! It was so much fun.


I did some holiday baking. Yum! Yum!



I had my first visit with Santa Clause and I tried a Candy Cane. Santa was nice and all, but I just wasn't ready for him. This picture is my best one. The other onces I am looking pretty scared.

I also had my very first Christmas. It was a great time. I got to see lots of family and open lots of presents.

This is me opening some presents. It was really hard so mommy and daddy had to pretty much do it for me.

Here I am on Sunday with Caden, Grammy, and Chelsea. If you notice Caden and I coordinate. Our mommies thought it would be cute.

I got to meet daddy's grandma - my great grandma - for the very first time. She is so nice.

Now I am playing with Daddy and Siaara. We are going to be good friends someday, I just know it. Siaara is already 1, but I am just a little bit behind her.

Check out my Daddy, he got a Bonderman jersey for Christmas!

Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas. I can't wait to see what the new year brings me. I'm thinking maybe some walking, a birthday, swimming, and some solid foods!

I love you all
