Misc. Pics

Greetings faithful readers! We had a nice weekend... didn't travel anywhere but spent some time visiting friends here in Indy. On Friday we had dinner with Amber, Nathan and Brooklyn at a hibachi restaurant in Greenwood. Annabel wasn't as into the hibachi thing as I thought she would be, though the huge flame that shot up when he started cooking got her attention briefly. But other than that she was kind of zoned out and focused on her own meal. Saturday we ran some errands, got Annabel's hair cut (see picture below) and then had dinner with a group of our friends at a sushi bar. The sushi bar experience was a first for all of us, and I have to say I was a skeptic going in.... but I had some good recommendations and was pleasantly surprised! Annabel wasn't too impressed... we had to sit at the bar, and they only had the normal sized high chairs - so Annabel basically sat under the bar. Not a great view, but she did alright. After that we went to our friends' house where Annabel met a new friend (see below), and then the next day Grandma and Grandpa came for a visit. It was a full weekend!

Here are our latest pics:

Annabel continues to love her bath time!
This is my new favorite face that she makes. She purses her lips, but her cheeks and eyes are smiling. My mom thinks she looks like she's playing shy, but I think she looks like she has a secret that she thinks is funny and nobody knows but her. Either way - I love it. :)

Poor Annabel has to endure Daddy's games and other ways of amusing himself. I think here she is saying "Why me?"


At just 10 months, it was time for hair cut #2! We took off some of the length in the back so that the rest can catch up, and cleaned it up a little everywhere else. Her hair looks lighter now, because some of the dark tips were cut off. She did great in the chair, and was done in about 10 minutes!


Saturday night we went to Tracy and Drew's house, and they have two dogs - Tyson and Jackson. Jackson was very interested in Annabel, and Annabel loved him! A couple of times he snuck some kisses, and other times he would just lick on her hands. That made her laugh and squeal.... and it made me want to take him home with us! He was so good with her... Once she even grabbed on to his ear and cheek, and he just sat there, patient as can be... what a good boy!

Daddy and Annabel - all dressed up for dinner out
(I promise the skirt is not really that short... it's just how he's holding her!)

Oh my gosh, she is so cute! I love her haircut! Can't wait to see her in a couple of months and for her to meet Riley.

It's settled...you need to get a dog for Annabel. I only worry that Nate will be upset to loose his playmate. I can see from the bath time photos, she's still very patient with him.
