Happy Birthday Anna!

Friday, Anna turned ONE ... my baby is one year old, man this year has flown by!
  • She has only two teeth - they are on the bottom.
  • Walking is now her main mode of transportation and she's pretty steady on her feet.
  • She's a very determined little kid, who is not easily distracted or persuaded.
  • She loves playing in the water - although baths are an entirely different thing.
  • She is quite social and loves to be in the middle of everything.
  • When she wants something, she screams/yells "Eeeehhhhhhhhah" - at ear splitting decibels, it's always shocking, it always make everyone jump, and it's especially disruptive in the middle of church.
  • She is a very independent soul who loves to explore the world around her.
  • Anna is a very happy, joyful child. She doesn't get upset easily. When she cries it's because she really needs something.
  • Anna is tough and can easily hold her own against her rough and tumble older brother who tackles her to the ground, all be it gently, on a daily bases. She takes it all in stride, without getting up set and occasionally returning the loving gesture.

To celebrate, Grandma brought over the traditional donuts and balloons. Anna ate nearly all of her glazed donut on her own.



We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - her favorite - for lunch and were going to spend the afternoon swimming, but mother nature felt rain was more important so we stayed inside while Anna slept the afternoon away.

After naps, we took a box of ice cream, sprinkles and cones to Grandma's for ice cream cones. Everyone enjoyed those very much!





Anna had her 1 year appointment first thing this morning. She's doing fantastically. Defiantly has the height of the girls, but her weight seems more inline with the boys.

Weight - 21lbs 14.5 oz. (60%)
Height - 30.75 inches (94%)
Head Circumference - 19 5/8" (>97%)
