9 Months!!!

Annika went in for her 9 month well baby check-up. I figured I'd post this now (a day early) because David will have the computer at Central tomarrow.

She is growing up soo fast. The last month she has started saying "yay" and clapping, saying mama (and dada occasionally), and waving bye-bye (when she wants to). She has started eating regular veggies (not baby food). In fact last night I gave her mixed veggies (green beans, carrots, lima beans, and peas) she picked all the carrots out and left them on the tray. :o) She even ate the lima beans (she gets that from her dad).

Here's her "stats"

She is coming in at 50 % on height 27.5 inches
But only 25 % on weight: 17.5 lbs

And last but not least here's a picture I took of our big 9 month old girl!

Our Blue-eyed baby love!

Annika Overload....

Okay, here's a ton of Annika. First are a few Thanksgiving photos....




One happy baby love...









This is Annika's great-grandma, Annika was named after her Annika Carol.






Oh the joys of being a baby....













Not sure what she was doing here.....








Checking out everything around her...











One nosy baby wants to see everything that is going on!









Ready to get out of her exascaucer







I have started to barricade the kitchen off so Annika cannot get into it. She has found the animals water and the dogs food (yes, I fished a piece out of her mouth the other day)! So I started using the kitchen chairs. But guess what.....




She is okay after the nose plant and was smiling shortly after....And yes she said "mama."

Her other new thing she has learned is how to say "yay" she doesn't not say it in the video (but she can say it...her first official word), but the clapping is real cute! We are trying to get bye-bye down but every time I tell her to say bye-bye she claps!

Thanksgiving with Jenny!

O Deer, O Deer

I must start out by first apologizing...moving from something so cute as Annika to this...again I apologize!

David went hunting in Wisconsin this year with his family. Here's what he came home with....

He was pretty excited!

(Disclaimer: A deer was harmed before the taking of these photos)

Some new pictures....

Dear Family and Friends,

I asked and asked my mommy to put new pictures up of me, but she kept saying she was too busy. So finally I bugged her sooo much that she decided she would put some up...she has it in this weird moving thing, but that is okay because they are pictures of me, right?!? Hope you enjoy them!!!

Mommy & Annika

Someone mentioned that there are not many pictures of Annika and I together...here's a couple (I look the same in all of them, Annika doesn't). I was just going to put one picture up, but she's just too cute not to add more than one of her.

Can you resist a blue eyed girl?!? Not Me!! :o)
