We're Back!

Here's a quick overview of Princess Annalyn during her 6th month of life. We've been having computer trouble way out here in Katy, but voila...Comcast to the rescue!! We're back and we've got a whole lot of pictures of this cute little girl to share!

Quick Recap of the last month:

• Annalyn has mastered the crawling stuff (alot), she "gorilla" crawls on her hands and feet often instead of her knees - Trav says she looks like a wounded duck, but I think it's adorable!
• She got her two bottom teeth and they are so adorable!
• She pulls herself up on to everything!
• She chased a spider across the floor the other day.
• She LOVES DOGS!
• She LOVES fruit, but still likes her veggies. Loves cottage cheese and yogurt!
• She likes to walk when I'm holding her hands
• She loves hearing her Daddy's voice on the phone!
• She loves to snuggle when she's tired and gives the biggest smiles to everyone she sees!
• I know there's more, but that's it for now folks!
  Loving her Johnny Jump Up (in the kitchen pantry doorway - I know...wierd)
  Yes, this is my little princess at her finest! She loves to eat crackers now (translation...she gums the cracker to death and drops it several times because it is slimy - by the end there is nasty sticky cracker GOO all over her, her chair, and the floor...I love her smile! Oh yeah, and any time she sees a spoon she wants to hold it herself)

Me and Daddy before he left for work one morning!

Just playing with my toys ... what you lookin' at?

So here are the stats as of Annalyn's 6 month appointment:

18 lbs. 15oz. --- 93rd percentile
26 1/2 inches long --- 78th percentile


Her head is catching up with the rest of her though - finally in the 55th percentile instead of the 25th! We love 'em healthy!

Just hanging with Mommy - we're bestest buds!



Annalyn eats her toes all the time! Sometimes I'm suprised she can reach them.

Me and My Daddy just playing on the floor


She loves her exersaucer - look at that smile!


She got her two bottom teeth this month! Here she is playing on the floor with Mommy (yes, I have to keep my floor really clean now...it's a constant process)


In her bumbo chair (yes it's on the counter which "technically" is against the "rules") but she's eating an apple and loving it - just look at that smile! Don't worry I was there the whole time and she was so cute!!


With my Mommy and Daddy! I can say "ma ma" and "da da" now! I also say "ya ya ya" and "ba ba" and have learned to blow raspberries which my Mommy thinks is SO FUNNY! (Seriously, this girl makes sounds I can't make if I try --- yes I've tried --- she does an AWESOME elephant noise that I REALLY can't do, Trav laughs at me when I try)


Melts my heart!


She loves books -- mostly to chew on these days, but we try to get some reading done also.


"FLYING" with Daddy! We love it when he's home to spend time with us!


Me and Mommy in our jammies (notice Mommy has sweatpants on...IN TEXAS!! Yes it actually does get kinda cold here)

So this last weekend we carved our pumpkin! It is ritual every year to watch "The Burbs" with Tom Hanks, while Mommy cleans the pumpking and Daddy carves it! Love the headlamp Daddy! He is so HARDCORE!

Here's Mommy cleaning out the "guts"

Pretty SWEET HUH? And speaking of sweet...

This is what Annalyn did while Mommy was up to her elbows in "pumpkin guts" .... just sitting on the floor looking as cute as a little....something that's really REALLY STINKIN' CUTE!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
