My big "helper" (loose use of the word!) at Walmart!

She LOVED the huge Brobee and Foofa and wasn't happy they couldn't go home with us!

Anna Claire sat down for her bath tonight--that was new--usually she stands up the whole time!

Been sick and pitiful--feeling a bit better though-I'm do glad!!

She lives to get in my jewelry box--we call her Miss GotRocks--walks around with ten bracelets on--looks like a gypsy girl!! It's a good thing I don't have expensive jewelry!! :-)

Starting to be nauseous--Andy is precious--already protective of my belly--wouldn't let ac jump on me--and rubs my belly intermittently sometimes. It's sweet. :-)

Ac is very imaginative and is starting to play well with dolls....she takes Brobee and has him go potty, complete with her give him to, she puts Foofa in the high hair, puts her hat on Cookie Monster, etc. so cute!!

I thought she was so pretty in this picture: shows off her red lips and pretty peaches-n-cream complexion.

Can you not see the mischief just ALL OVER HER FACE!

When Anna Claire wears a hat - she wants Daddy to do the same.  Then he will sing/pseudo-rap this crazy song that goes:

BUBBLES. BUBBLES.
B-U-DOUBLE B-L-E-S SPELLS BUBBLES, BUBBLES!

It cracks. her. up.  TOTALLY!  The things he will do to get a smile!!  Best Daddy ever.

If you need further evidence of how much she loves him, look at them napping together.  Never have I seen a stronger bond of Daddy and daughter.

Oh, and - is there anything more precious than toddlers in footed pajamas?? I think not!!

Anna Claire ate TWO whole scrambled eggs and one and another half of a biscuit!! Good grief!!

Anna Claire is learning so much at once!! Very mischievous! When she does something she knows not to do--like out something small in her mouth she will put it right to her lips and grin the biggest "I dare you" smile!!

I made her march back to the bathroom and return the toilet brush to its home today...She understands commands so well!! I said "no ma'am" and pointed back to the bathroom--told her to put it back and she did! Same with a drawer--was going to drag everything out but when I said no, and told her to put everything back in she did. Told her to close drawer and she did!

Says mama to everything right now!!!!

Can say mama, dada, bye bye, juice (deuce), outside (side), thank you, ow, uh oh....won't say anything except mama most of the time though....

She is so precious to me!! Today I was singing "Nap Time" (from Yo Gabba Gabba) to her while she was swinging and she played like she was asleep and laid her head sideways while swinging and closed her eyes!!

I worry we let her watch too much television, but I don't like the house to be too quiet....tried music today, but it's just not as convenient.....maybe need a better radio....

Took her for walk tonight and stopped at Methodist church to let her run a bit. She loved the fact that there was an incline! She's braver than her skill warrants. But it makes her so proud that she can do certain things that you hate to stop her!!!

She's whining a LOT but we think she's frustrated that she can't communicate better. I can't wait to hear her little voice!

I wish that I felt better - I spend a lot of time cuddling her, it seems like.  Just wanting her to know how much she is loved....

This girl is ROTTEN.  She sees herself and is THOROUGHLY impressed!

And look at these "Attitude Boots" than Mama Betty bought for her.  They suit her!

She likes the dandelions that are growing outside.  Hard to keep her from eating them though!!
