Belated birthday fun

 

A week and a half ago, we finally had a small first birthday party for Annie.  Her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and godparents were here for some laid-back fun.  Unfortunately, both Annie and Cousin Charlie were in the process of coming down with something AND hadn't had a good nap that day, so it wasn't the happiest couple of hours in the world. But Annie sure looked cute.  I think/hope that Mike got a lot more pictures than I did, so maybe he'll share some eventually.

 

John was off of work for a couple of weeks and enjoyed hanging out with his girls.  We celebrated his birthday with a new grill (and he's already made some good stuff)!  Annie enjoyed the box that the cover came in. It was just the right size for her to sit in.  Sadly, now he's on nights until mid month and we don't get to see him except in passing.

Annie has enjoyed being back at school more regularly, although she has become a little more clingy this week.

Current tooth count: 8! (5 top, including a left premolar; 3 bottom)

One of Annie's new favorite tricks is intentionally blinking really hard at you, it's a little bit flirtatious. It's like one of those real non-subtle winks, but with both eyes. So cute!







And just for fun, a little video of the girl showing off her dance moves.
