This little girl just has that knack of brightening everyone's day. Her smile is infectious, her laugh is contagious and she is happy all.the.time. She is such a special little girl, and Brian and I say all the time - she is a joy. I know we are biased, but she is. She's got so much personality in her small 18lb 11oz frame. I just realized as I wrote that out, she's exactly 10lbs more than her birth weight. Anna is a ball of fun. She's fiesty, happy, sneaky, cuddly, sweet and smart all wrapped up in this adorable little bundle. Her facial expressions are priceless and it seems like each week she has a new one!
Anna has gone from the 90th percentile in weight at birth, to the 10th percentile, she's a little peanut! She's keeping steady in the 50th for height - at 29 inches. She has 6 teeth, 2 of which are coming through right now, making things interesting ;) As far as food, there is nothing she wont try - and I think she's loved it all. She loves pasta, broccoli, spinach, strawberries and chicken just to name a few, but she's also tried and loved spicy guacamole, BBQ chicken, pork, sausage and couscous. What a treat it is to make everyone the same dinner, and not have 3 separate things going on in the kitchen at once!
Anna is smart, curious and gets into everything. We never really had to baby proof with Madelyn, and we've known for months now, things will be different with this curious little one. Knowing this, we keep our eyes on Anna constantly or as much as humanly possible anyway, yet, she's still ended up with pennies in her mouth on a few occasions! She's sneaky and fast, and walking is right around the corner - God help us! I have a feeling that will bring things up a notch for sure! She actually took her first few steps alone on Thursday night! She's taken one here or there over the last month, but this was 4 consecutive steps without assistance. She hasn't done it since, but I know the real thing is very close, and she'll be running in no time!
Some of Anna's favorite things - her lovey, her big sis, her sing-along book, crawling the length of our house as fast as she can, paddy-cake, being tickled, dancing with Madelyn, and her Da-da! In addition to the handful of words that she'd learned over the last two months or so, she has a few new words that she says with intent - woof, moo, hey-o, down, and where are you. Whenever she can't see Madelyn, she'll say "where r u?" It's so cute!
So just like that, the big day has come and gone, and I have to say - we had the best time celebrating our little girl! She was all smiles all day, she loved her outfit, had fun with the presents, devoured cake and ice cream and didn't even mind the hat or bow in her hair! This really is such a fun age, and I can't wait to watch our little beauty continue to grow.
Thank you sweet Anna for the blessing that you are - we love you SO, SO much!
