October so far- Annika

A few things on Annika... she is still loving that sister of hers, giving lots and lots of kisses. It makes me more and more excited for them to have a close relationship.

Right now, I do "peekaboo" a lot with Alexa... and a lot of times just say "boo." Well, Annika does it too, but hers comes out "Booze! Booze!" We did NOT teach her that. :)

Andy took her out on a date for ice cream and to see the fishes (or "shiby," as she calls them... I don't know; it doesn't make sense to me either)
Dressed and ready for her date with Daddy
They ended up at Toys R Us. Andy looked at the princess stuff with her, but then she spotted the footballs. How proud her Daddy was that she wanted a football... and then she slept with it. Seriously.In other news... I thought she was just being silly when she said "cheese" and her eyes crossed.
It went from being very sporadic in the last month to being almost all the time in the last week.
We went to the pediatrician, and he has referred us to a pediatric opthalmologist in Peoria- we go at the end of the month. They will dilate her eyes and figure out what's going on. Our pediatrician believes that it's nothing serious and that it should be easily corrected with glasses (I know- she is going to be super cute with glasses!), but of course wants us to find out for sure.

Sweet girl- it doesn't seem to bother her much most of the time, but I'm anxious to get on the road to (hopefully) correcting it.

Oh my, I always think little kids are the cutest in glasses! She will be so irresistable (as if she isnt already!) to everyone :)
Also, thanks for the encouragment to put Micah downstairs instead of in our room. We did it on Monday and he has slept through the night ever since...so thanks friend :)

She will be the cutest girl in glasses EVER! Then you need to buy her the American Girl Doll Molly, who has glasses. She will think that is cool!
