Trip to Houston

Anna, JuJu, PaPa and I went to Houston on Thursday to visit with Daniel, Nicole & Stephen.  We had a great visit!  And today our cousins, Laura & Doc came over for some fun and music.  Here's Laura with Daniel and Anna.

And here is what Aunt Sarah does with poor Daniel while his Daddy isn't watching...

 

Here are all of the grandbabies - Max, Anna & Daniel

Here's Daniel hanging out with PaPa... he thinks PaPa is really fun!

First Trip to the Bowling Alley

Today our playgroup went bowling!  It was much fun... here's Anna pushing the ball down the ramp.

Here she is picking up the ball.  She could pick it up (5 lb-er), but then she would directly drop it on the floor. 

 

And here she seems to be pleased with her shot... but I don't think Jonah is as impressed. ha!

And some video of her first set... she did get one spare later in the game!

Splashing at the Splash Park

This morning I decided to take Anna to the splash park in Allen.  She had lots of fun both in the water and the playgroud beside it!

 

Take note tunnel crawling is much more difficult when you're wet from the splash park!

Caution: This video could make you seesawsick!

Isn't this giant swing great?  It makes Anna look like she's not in the 90th percentiles.... haha!

15 Month Stats

I haven't taken pics in a couple of days (shocker, I know!), but I wanted to post our stats from the 15th month checkup. We were about a week late, so that may have something to do with our high numbers :) 26lbs, 6.4oz (90%), 32.5" (94%) and her head was at 89%. YEA for a well-rounded girl!

Ta Da!!!

Here is Anna showing off both of her souvenirs from JuJu & Papa. The shirt is still a tad big, but I wanted to get a pic with it before she outgrows the shoes! You can even see one of her teeth on top (the spots in the back are just glare, but that is indeed a tooth on top).

Don't Laugh!

If you can watch this without at least a little chuckle, you're better than me!!

Fun with Cousins!

Yesterday Anna, JuJu & I made a quick trip to Elizabeth to visit some family. We had lots of fun and Anna enjoyed playing with her cousins... she also enjoyed the Tigger jack-in-the-box that Mom made by cramming poor tigger into a jar!
Aren't we cute? These are our sorta matching shirts we bought :)

The Circus!!

Yesterday we went to the circus! Anna did good the first hour and a half and then during intermission she just wanted to climb up and down the stairs. She watched about 30 more mins after intermission, but then she was done! We had fun, though! She really enjoyed all the animals and this motorcycle man that came out really close to where we were sitting.

Here she is dancing to the music and watching the horses.

Interurban Railway Museum

Playgroup today was at the Interurban Railway Museum in Plano. They have toddler storytime on Fridays. Here are some of the kids looking at the train. We don't know who the guy in the middle is, but we weren't going to kick him out of the picture :) Anna enjoyed storytime which included a puppet, songs and even an autoharp and then we went outside to look at the old rail car.

Anna is (almost) 15 months!

Today we went for 15 month pics a couple days early... it was definitely our most challenging photo shoot so far... just trying to get her to stay in one spot! Finally I got her to do her dance moves so she'd stay in the correct spot. The photographer was cracking me up... she obviously didn't have kids cause she put her on this car thingie and expected her not to ride it!! hahaha!

Jack-in-the-Flowerpot

Sorry you have to endure my commentary... but the video is cute.

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a great birthday on Thursday. My parents came down and kept Anna that evening for us to do dinner and a movie and Mom made me a cookie cake... yum! They also took me out the next day for yummy lunch! Thanks so much, JuJu & Papa!
