Running!

Annalise is on the move and is walking and running everywhere. It is darling! We got her a pair of little white leather Ked's this weekend. She has not wanted to take them off (even though she isn't wearing them in these pics). Here she is on the go-

My parents came and stayed with us a couple of weeks ago while they were evacuees from Hurricane Ike. Here is Annalise enjoying a chicken leg which she thought was amazing. And, a cutie pic of my Mom and Annalise while they were here.

Cutie Pie

Jon had to get new glasses last week and Annalise was quite excited to try on glasses while we were waiting for him to finish. I think she looks SO cute in these!!!






Annalise has also been quite chatty lately and can say a few words- doggie, balloon, dada, nite nite, bye bye, hot, cold, uh-oh, and something that is her own version of "book."

How Time Flies!

Annalise is offically a year old today. I cannot believe how much she has changed over the past year. Here are some pictures to prove it-

For those who want to see, here's over 5 minutes of Annalise enjoying her first birthday cake. She's a bit overwhelmed by the whole event.

Birthday Bliss

Annalise got a little play kitchen for her birthday from my parents and she was just overwhelmed by how amazing it is! She could not stop oohing and aahing over it. Her little party is tomorrow so pictures from that will be coming soon! Sorry for the poor video quality...
