When it comes to Anna Claire's age, I think you could say "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" and be spot on. Today was a great day!
Carrie (Plumlee) Smith came to visit me with her two kids---haven't seen her in six years or so and really enjoyed catching up.
Anna Claire found a purple minion at McDonald's and it made her day. She has, like seven, of the yellow minions from Despicable Me 2, but this one was special! Apparently the purple one was getting picked on by the yellow minions and they had to get spankings (while saying "no no no! Be nice to friends!") then off to time out in the kitchen. Then back to give purple minion kisses and make up. They tend to be slow learners though and seemed to repeat this process. At one time I think all seven yellow minions were in time out together! What a motley crew! Hilarious!
Defended Juliana in the car---she was fussing and we were talking to her and Anna Claire apparently thought we were upset with Juliana and said "my Junia no pank!!" Haha!
Later Daddy kissed me and Anna Claire says "yuck!!"
Fun day!

Heard Anna Claire count to eight on her own last night. Of course she won't do it when I'm watching....always says 1,2,6 still. :-)
Juliana HATES laying on her back to have her diaper changed---diapering her is miserable right now!! She fights and squirms and raises a royal ruckus!!! Grrrr!
She ate her first bug a week or so ago....Daddy had her on the back porch and didn't realize she'd found a bug before it was gone down the hatch! Yuck!!!!
I'm really struggling emotionally--whether that is because of pregnancy hormones or because I've had so much on my plate with paperwork for health insurance recertification/remodel bank loan/student loan repayment annual certification along with a super messy house etc. Anna Claire has started really trying me (and Andy). She's sweet and loving as ever but lacks in the obedience department. We have had to start to be more disciplined with how we handle her, which isn't fun but is necessary. Had a good tearful talk with April Wilson today about it which really did make me feel a good bit better.

Anna Claire is learning her numbers---she knows 4,5,6 and 7,8 and I think she can say 1-6, but more often than not she says 1,2,6! It's cute!

Juliana had a doctor appointment today --- Looked great!
She weighed 20.1 lbs and was 27 inches long. 75% on weight and 25% on height. The doctor was very pleased with how she looked and how she was developing. :-) No shots today since she is still on antibiotics from her infection last week.

Juliana has started to say "da da da da da" and its so sweet!
She can't seem to get well though....had an ear infection last week, then had two good days off medicine and started running fever. Back to dr and she thinks teething and bacterial infection. Concerns me. I love her so much. Can't imagine our family before she came! Precious baby!
She is growing so fast! Pulling up on everything and wants to walk so badly she can't stand it! Sweet baby--smiles all the time (when not sick) and has gorgeous big blue eyes that everyone comments on. Add to that her pretty ginger hair and she's just so pretty!
Anna Claire is a joy. She grows constantly. Physically, she has hit a growth spurt and shot up. 2T are now becoming short on her and around her. She's beautiful -- pretty skin and eyes and a mischievous smile that wins people everywhere she goes!
She's completely potty trained now and it's great. I don't much like visiting every restroom in Dothan but alas... ;-)

Juliana learned to clap today! She also stood up on her own, unassisted for three seconds or so! Walking will be coming soon!
Took Anna Claire to a movie today--Monsters University. She got bored and said "turn it off" after about an hour. I think she couldn't relate to it as well. Andy and I loved it, and I loved seeing her reactions, since this is the first time I've been with her to a movie (Andy took her alone to her first one). It was a fun experience.
This pregnancy is kicking my butt---nighttime nausea and all the time fatigue is wearing me down majorly. The house is a disaster area. :-( It makes me sad. Hate to feel like I'm letting my family down...
