Funny Faces and Fun Times

Our funny little munchin was making some particularly cute faces during meal time.

Anne's hair is finally getting long enough (just barely) to put in pig tails. So cute. She doesn't even fuss when I do her hair. Thanks for the adorable dress Gabbie!

And then there was two.....

Slightly less girly looking....but still cute.

We had a fun oppurtunity to hang out with my long lost friend Brittany and her husband James (and little soon-to-be Hannah) at the Zoo. It was a blast to see all the cool animals and catch up with some cool people.

As soon as we saw the bear exhibit Anne started saying, "Ba....ba.."

Anne had a spell of crankiness, drooling, and non-sleeping and ..duh duh duuuuh...she's teething again. Not exactly in a normal spot..it's actually her I-tooth on the top left. My little vampire baby...all those Twilight books. :)

Gabe and Jennifer came to visit for Memorial weekend and ...unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of them (if you guys want to email us those pictures that would be great :) But we did have a great time and took a couple cute shots of Anne and her first experience with an ice cube.

We also had a fun time at the aqarium again, this time with Daddy and Gabe and Jennifer. Anne loved the fishies again...and the stuffed animals in the gift shop again.

We realized we haven't gotten a video of her laughing in a while. It's the best sound in the world..so here it is.

And some more...

And one of Anne and Daddy at the aqarium.

Y, J, G, L, K, B

You're probably wondering what the heck the title of this post means so we'll start with Y. We decided to hike the Y again and this time we made it! We put Anne is a carrier which was much easier. It's still a heck of a hike, but we had a lot of fun doing it. :)

Daddy carried Anne on the way up and Mom had her on the way down. About 10 steps down the trail she fell asleep. I guess she was comfy :)

J: My sister Jennifer came to visit! So the following pictures are courtesy of her.

Well...I actually took this one..

Anne loves her Daddy.

We had a Rock Band night. Anne actually liked it this time because Auntie Jennifer was able to entertain her...and she loved eating the microphone.

G, K, L: A visit to the Great-Grandparents. The two cuties sitting with us are my nieces Lucy and Katie.

K, B: Mother's Day. I had a wonderful Mother's Day that started off with a yummy breakfast in bed provided by my awesome hubby followed by some potted flowers (much more practical), a new stylish T (in the picture), and a beautiful card made by Zac and Anne. We had a special day at church where Anne gave me my present of falling asleep all through Relief Society so I could actually stay in the room and hear the lesson :) We capped off the night with a dinner at Kenric and Becky's house! We are so excited to have Kenric's family back here in Provo and look forward to a fun couple years together :)

A day at the park. Anne absolutely loves the swings though you might not be able to tell from this picture.

That's better :)The new Mamas. (My friend Hayley and her baby Ellie)

We had a fun visit to the aqarium in Salt Lake. Anne loved watching the fish and didn't understand why she couldn't touch them, darn glass.

They have a cool tank where you can reach in and actually touch the rays! When Anne's older she'll get a kick out of it. I didn't want to accidently drop her in so we just watched.

I think the gift shop was one of her favorite parts (oh no for the future :) She loved the stuffed animals. We've observed lately that she talks to her stuffed animals more than humans, hmmmm.

I think this is one of my new favorite pictures of our little cutie, fuzz hair and all.

The slick look.

We love them sunglasses.

A video of us at the top of our hike to the Y.

Anne is learning new skills every day. She amazes us. This is her with her favorite toy. She's learned how to pick up the balls, pick up two and bang them together, and also how to put them in the machine. Apparently she only likes to show this to Dad cause this is all I could catch of her doing it.

Anne is a little talker. She's experimenting with new sounds and letters all the time. "B" is her favorite as you will see in these videos. We think she says "ba" whenever she wants an object, especially bread (which is now her absolute favorite food). She staring at the alphabet game we're playing on the computer. It's cute to see how she's learning to mimick the sounds.
