Annabel is a walker!

By June 10th, we officially declared Annabel a walker! She is all over the place and even climbing on the window seats.

Annabel:
*Knows where her ears and feet are
*Dances with one arm over her head whenever she hears ANY music
*Is about to start swim lessons
*Says, "Uh-oh!" Whenever she drops anything
*Responds to, "If you're happy and you know it..."

She is at such a fun age. We can't wait to see how much more fun the future brings! Love her!!!

Annabel is 1 year old!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it is finally time for Annabel's 1st birthday party! Where has the time gone? No one can prepare you for how quickly it goes by. What an absolutely amazing year it has been. I was looking at all of Annabel's past pictures and I just couldn't believe that this little peanut we brought home has turned into this beautiful little girl full of smiles and personality!

This month, Annabel:
*Signs for more
*Sings for please
*Smiles BIG all the time
*Goes crazy dancing to ANY and ALL music she hears, swaying her entire body!
*Understands when you are "chasing" her and laughs hysterically
*Takes more and more steps every day
*LOVES the dog
*LOVES being outside
*Eats all adult food with her fingers and LOVES broccoli and peas!
*Tried ice cream for the first time and LOVED it. Actually, she danced in her seat!

Annabel, you bring more joy to our hearts than we ever even imagined! You are absolutely beautiful inside and out and your smile lights up your whole face. It seems like there should be a word even stronger than love to describe how much you mean to us!!! We love you and cannot WAIT for many many many more years and birthdays to come!
