Big Girl Room

As you know, last week Annabel turned 2 – in the last couple of months, a lot of things have changed:

1. She has a big girl bed and room
2. She is mostly potty-trained
3. She refuses to stay in a high-chair and to be treated like a baby
4. She speaks in some sentences (“My Mommy is a poopy-head.”)
5. She is 35 inches tall (80th percentile) and weighs 28lbs (75th percentile) and her head is huge – off the percentile chart.

Here are pictures of her room. I helped my Dad paint it blue for her:

The peach wall, dresser and curtains are “leftover” from her nursery.


Abuela got her a kitchen for her birthday – she makes Cafe con Leche, chicken and sushi for all of us.

Grandma made her this beautiful quilt for her new bed.

Everyday with my little sister is better than the last. I love you, Annabel!

Annabel turns 2!

Yesterday we celebrated Annabel’s second birthday.  It was also the day for my dance recital – so we had a busy and exciting day.

Annabel helped make a cake!

While Annabel was taking her nap, we decorated the house with red  balloons and decorated her an Elmo Cake. She was very happy to get calls from everyone to wish her a happy birthday!

Our best pals, William and Audrey came over for spaghetti and meatballs and cake.

As a birthday present for William (6), I took him to Valentine’s Salon for a “faux hawk”.

I take Ballet and Tap through Exit Space Dance in Green Lake – I love my dance class.

This year, my girl Phoebe was in my class and we danced together. We were not able to video the performance.

Happy Birthday, Annabel! I love you so much!

 

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We had a lot of fun at the Pumpkin Patch last month!

 
 

Annabel 1 year check-up

She’s 29.75 inches tall in the 75% for height. (I was 33inches)

She has 4 teeth! (Her bottom two came in on Christmas weekend and her top two just came in the first week of April.

Weekend in California

We spent a fantastic weekend with all my cousins in Southern California. We got to go to Disneyland and then we had a party for Annabel’s 1st birthday (it was a joint party with Taylor – my cousin who is now 3)!

Baby bootcamp

It’s long overdue – while Annabel has perfected her scooting around the house – she has yet to learn to roll over and sit up without help. This past weekend, Mom enlisted her in her own version of bootcamp to finally get her moving – and Annabel loves it! Here is the success:
