Our funny little girl

Annabelle continues to be more flirtatious out in public and is just so darn funny. Yesterday, we were eating lunch at Panera, and we were in a prime spot for her to people watch and flirt. She looked at every single person who went by in line. For most people, she smiled and flirted, but every once in a while, someone would get a stone cold stare. We don't know how you pass the Annabelle test. But it sure does cheer the people up who are deemed flirt-worthy by her! She does this practically everywhere we go.

We also started Gymboree on Tuesday with about 8 other babies around her age. It's a weekly 45-minute class that builds on what they are starting to discover at her age. She absolutely loved it. Mainly, she loved being around the other babies. I took my eyes off her for one second, and she had her hands around an 8-month-old's neck! She didn't seem to mind though. All of the babies in the class were crawling, even a six-month-old. Annabelle was almost the oldest and was the only one not crawling. Maybe the other babies will teach her!

She does seem to be interested for the first time in being mobile. She wants to practice standing and stepping more than crawling, so maybe she'll skip crawling altogether.

Annabelle caught her first cold from me this weekend. She had one rough night where she was adjusting to a stuffy nose, but she's done just fine since then. We put a humidifier in her room and I guess it's helping.

And she got a visit this past weekend from Nana and Gary. She had a blast with them!
