What is she doing??

We've been watching Sesame Street before school (On Demand is a gift from God!). We were having trouble getting Anna to cooperate at 5:45 in the morning (I wonder why?), but found that when it's on, she'll do just about anything we ask her as long as she can keep watching...

Anna's been talking up a storm. Too bad we can't figure out what she's saying! That leads to some frustrations!

I'm really not sure what's going on here. However, it's typical Anna. See the boots? That is a battle that I'm not fighting, especially in the morning before school.


Here's where she stuffed herself into her block wagon. She seems to think that she fits it it better than her dolls.

The Other Janes

Anna (Jane) had to go to the doctor (again), and after 3 rounds of antibiotics, her ears have FINALLY cleared! Unfortunately, that meant that she could have her 18-month shots. Ice cream makes it all better!


Grandma (Jane) read lots of stories to Anna. For Christmas, Anna got a lot of books from Grandma and Grandpa, in addition to an inflatable hamster wheel. I'll get some pics of that up soon...


We went to Lafayette to see Kristen and Sara (Jane). Anna and Sara got along well.


We went to the park and played for hours!


Sara shared her stroller and her snacks with Anna on the way back. She is practicing for when her new baby brother arrives!

Anna fell asleep on the way home and slept right through to the next morning! We had such a good time visiting with Kristen and Sara. We can't wait until they move back to Baton Rouge!

Babes in Floridaland

We went to Florida to spend Christmas with Nanny and Poppy. Anna had a great time and played hard. Here are a few things that kept her occupied:


As Nanny sings, Anna dances...



Santa brought Anna lots of presents. Here are a few of her favorites:



Anna ate yogurt for Christmas dinner. We tried to get her to taste everything else (which was excellent), but no luck!



Here's Anna modeling her new clothes from Nanny and Poppy, and her new hairstyle. She wouldn't let me put a bow in, though.

Napoleon D'anna'mite

Anna got some "moon boots" from Santa, so she tried them out by imitating Napoleon's dance sequence on TV.



She also likes chapstick and tots.

Tiny Dancer

We've been listening to the Nutcracker lately, and Anna's been dancing! She's even gotten daddy to dance with her!


The red boots are a nice touch, don't you agree?

Bananasicles anyone?

School was called off as soon as Shaun arrived there, so when he got home, we went outside and tried to play. Unfortunately, Anna wouldn't even touch the snow!!
She cried when we put her down in it...


And was in a funk for a while.
Finally we went back inside. Anna's been sick with ear and sinus infections, and now, bronchiolitis. So it's not like we were outside for long!
Fritz, however, LOVED the snow. As he bounds, you can see how deep it was!

SNOW!!!

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning!
