Florida Part 3

She's looking so grown up... she's 18 months old tomorrow. :(

This was our last night- hanging out with Grandpa while Grandma and Mommy shopped.

Splashing in the fountain at the shopping center. She was quite a character on this particular evening- they had fun music playing as we walked along outside, and she would stop walking and dance every few steps. It was too funny.

There were a few chances she got to watch TV.
Of course, it wasn't all fun. She had to get some work done, too.
Very busy!

Florida Part 2

Checking out a parasailer with Grandpa (I love how she has her arm around him)Oh Grandpa, you are so funny...

Hanging out at the baby pool- where we spent most of her awake time during the day. A new experience for me, for sure!
Her beloved basketball...

Annika propped her leg there herself as if that was the perfect pose.

"WHOA." a word that she says a lot. :)

Florida part 1

And we're back! Annika and I went to Florida with my parents... what a great, relaxing getaway with lots of great memories! Look out- Dad takes a LOT of pictures, so it was hard to narrow down what to post!

"Would you like some tea?"

Mom brought along toys that were fun for all... See the guy (a stranger) drinking Starbucks in the background? He patiently put aside his coffee multiple times to drink the tea that Annika offered. It was fun to see random adults playing along!

a classic

She thought it was hilarious to roll her little basketball between her legs. What a great shot!

This is why we need to get her in a big-girl bed stat... she keeps ending up with limbs outside the crib (this is a late night shot- both of her legs are sticking out). Hmm... I got in... now what?!

Read, of course... Too fun!
Ready for summer... or something.

Annika and I leave this weekend to go to Florida with my parents. We're excited, but not sure how we'll all do with it... thankfully, Andy is enjoying his new job and there is plenty of other stuff going on (and a big girl room here to work on!) to keep him busy while his girls are gone.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

The Accessorizer

This crazy girl

loves accessories

and then loves to look at herself wearing them.

...in anything reflective: the fireplace, oven, and of course, mirrors.I love that she loves herself so much!

Accessorizing with random found objects happens too.

My favorite! She thought she was hilarious and played with them on for awhile.

A few more things with us... I actually do NOT have gestational diabetes (I still can't quite believe it!). So the diet stays, but I won't have to monitor myself- yay!

AND Andy will be starting a new job in May (yes, in a few months time I left my job, Andy will change jobs, and a new baby... we're just getting all the change in at once!)

Have a great week!

(and don't forget to accessorize... see what a difference it can make in your look!)
