Mid November

Annie seems to be getting more sophisticated, mobile and grown up so fast! She's a delight to us, and we praise God for her!

Playing the piano with mommy!

Reading a book on her own...

A really fun game is "try to stick the binkie in mom's mouth"

Just playing in a box is also a lot of fun!

Daddy and Annie reading a book together!

...her first pony tail...

This little girl's reach is becoming increasingly vertical...

...and it's so fun!

Waking up baby

I think in this picture she may have found some little piece of something on the floor. See how happy she is?!  She seems to have an amazing ability to find small (and/or gross) objects on the floor!

Little Girl

Our little girl didn't go to bed until a little later tonight, and we had a fun time hanging out with her. Apparently, she's starting to enjoy reading/books a whole lot more!

November is here!

We are trying a new arrangement of our living room. For those of you that know our house, we put the loveseat in the little nook of the living room with the computer. I'm really enjoying this new arrangement, as it is quite open, and takes care of all the cords from the computer etc in the living room. 

Annie explores so much now! She can even pull herself into a standing position (though she mostly likes to pull herself onto her knees). 

Digging into the instrument bin...

...playing with Daddy's Chinese flute, it's almost as if she knows sort of how to blow into it...

Ain't she pretty?

Daddy's work ID holder is a very fun toy.

She's serious about crawling!

Last Saturday we took a family outing to the Navy Base to release our two baby box-turtles into the wild. 

Their names were Turt and Boxy...yes.

Here's Turt. He was our first turtle, and I must say, our favourite. You can see how much he grew in the approximately 4 months we owned him (the picture below is from the day we found Turt, I believe).

It was a little chilly outside, but a beautiful day for a walk!
