We're back!

Hi! Nate finally had time to take a look at our wireless internet last night, and thankfully we are up and running again. Who knew that a few days offline would cause me so much trouble! I am supposed to be painting our deck this morning... I woke up early, took Annabel to day care, and was ready to by 8:30. One problem - the deck is soaked with dew. So now I'm sitting here waiting for the dew to dry (that's a first for me). Hopefully I will get out there soon.

Anyway, so it's time for a quick Annabel update, for those of you who have been suffering from withdrawal: Annabel is sitting like a champ now. I love being able to plop her down while I fold laundry or do other things. She definitely can keep herself entertained much longer, and she's much happier than laying on her back. She constantly rolls from her back to her belly when she is laying down, which is problematic because she can't seem to figure out how to roll back over. To this day she's only done it that one time at the doctor's office. The good news is that she is starting to show signs of crawling. I've actually seen her get her entire belly off the floor a few times, though it doesn't last long. She hasn't figured out how to keep her knees under her yet. But she's getting there! She is talking up a storm, and going though another stage where she sticks her tongue out constantly (you can see in the pictures below). We continue to introduce new baby foods - so far she's had sweet potatos, squash, and peas. We're starting with the veggies before we give her fruits, hoping that it will keep her from turning her nose up at them. So far so good! I can't say that peas were her favorite, but she did eat them.

Ok, here are the pictures... you can tell I've been on a bathtime kick. Enjoy!

Could her eyes get any bigger?

Our big girl. She is still such a happy baby!

I just love this face...

Mmm... Dr. Pepper!

Here's some crazy hair before bathtime

Check out my cool hair!

Here's a video for the week... I posted a video when we first started using the bouncer, and said that "she loved it" I think at the time that was a bit of an overstatement. Now here is a video of a little girl who LOVES her bouncer. She is a bouncing machine!
