The latest scoop on Annika
I was talking to my MIL this evening and she reminded me that I need to 'write down' all of the things that Annika does as one day I'll forget. So instead of doing it the ol' fashioned way with pen and paper, I'm going to do it electronically. Hopefully this blog will still be around when I want to remember what Annika was doing when...
So here are her latest and greatest hits:
*Miss Chatty - loves to talk and make sounds; is constantly talking to me and Abby and anyone who will listen; occasionally will screech in excitement [especially when eating]. The only discernable words I can tell are MMMAAA, DA DA DA DA, AH, BAA
*has taken to preferring standing over sitting and crawling. Since she cannot yet stand on her own, that means either myself or Abby become targets for pull up assistance. Abby will only tolerate it so much..so that leaves me. I cannot wear v-neck shirts unless I want them to turn into scoop neck!
*4 Teeth are coming in up top. She already has 2 teeth on the bottom and recently I discovered while peering into her mouth that not only does she have her top 2 teeth coming in, she has their dance partners coming in too! Its pretty exciting...teeth really change how a person looks and what they can eat! Of course, I think this also explains the late night wake ups we've been battling the last month or so since her bottom teeth came in.
*Annika LOVES to eat! She hasn't met a food she hasn't like yet. Strike that - she didn't like mashed potatoes at my mom's house last week. But I'm sure that she will overcome her dislike soon as WHO DOESN'T LOVE MASHED POTATOES!!!?? We'll revisit mashed potates at Thanksgiving - which is in oh, about 3 weeks! Also, Annika loves to eat with her HANDS. In fact, I'd go ahead and say that she PREFERS to eat with her hands. Won't hold her own sippy cup though...probably b/c she knows that I'll hold it for her!
*She's a BIG flirt and just a plain ol' people person.
Bottom line - Annika is LOADS of fun and even the tough days are pretty awesome. I am one lucky mama.

1st Haircut
Bangs anyone?
I just couldn't take it anymore - her hair was always in her face. I can't always keep it up in a clip or put it in a ponytail on top of her head...although that is pretty cute too...
oh, and the local kids haircut place charges $17 for a haircut...can we say NO WAY!?!

Annika at the State Fair
She didn't like the Goats too much...
But we found ways to make her smile
She thought the baby chic was groovy
All in All a fun day!
