Annabelle Updates

Annabelle is doing wonderful...she is going through a very hilarious stage right now. Everything is funny! She laughs and smiles all of the time, except, of course, when she's fussing. Every time she sees Gatsby, she starts laughing, and she loves to ride on his back (with some help from her Dad).

She's really into scrunching up her nose at everything...she does it when she smiles, she does it when she's mad, she does it when she's concentrating. And when she does that, she shows off her bottom teeth! We've been having a great time going for walks, going swimming, out to eat and shopping. She loves to go out now. Every time I put her in her car seat, she gets excited!

She's also talking a lot. The other night, she got mad at me for some unknown reason, and she then proceeded to chew me out while Chris held her. It was very funny. And she even waved at me today when I waved to her. Chris and I were shocked!

She ended up sleeping through the night two nights in a row last week. But then she got what may have been roseola, and hasn't slept through the night since then. So hopefully we'll work back to that some day. At least we had two nights!

We're leaving on Friday for Annabelle's second vacation. We're flying to Denver, then after the weekend driving to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. We're very excited! Hopefully, the plane ride goes as smoothly as our trip in April to Arizona. And I hope that the little girl has fun on our trip!
