Lately

Lately we've been doing a lot of this:

Zack pushing Anna around in the cozy coupe thinking he's so big. and Anna loving it. (most of the time) It's all fun and games until Anna decides to start pushing herself and poor Zack gets dragged along the back. It doesn't seem to phase him though.


Listening to Taylor Swift. Still Anna's fav. I asked her if she wanted to go to the concert this summer and she said, "No, I already did that before." I guess once was enough in her book.

and dancing to Taylor Swift. And fairy songs. and Disney princess songs. It's pretty magical at our house these days. If only we could get the animals to come in and help clean and do the laundry. It would be great if they could make me a new dress too.

Enjoying warmer warmer weather. Zack loves holding on to anything that is like a stick. Even if it's a princess wand.



And Anna still loves the swing.



And bubbles.

So why not do them both at the same time?


And my very favorite, lately we've been doing lots of snuggling. Because who doesn't love snuggling with their kids? I need to get it in while I still can!


And of course we've had meltdowns, and time outs, and some not so great days too. But no need to document those for posterity now. Although they probably would make some good stories. For the most part, lately, we're doing pretty good. And I like it.

Eiffel Tower and other fancy things

Remember Baby Emma? She used to be attached to Anna at the hip. Wherever we went, so did Baby Emma. She was just part of the fam. And then one day...not so much. Poor Baby Emma. It actually made me a little sad to see Anna's first favorite dolly get the boot. Well, she's making a comeback. Although all of that abandonment must have caused an identity crisis, because Anna informed me that her name is no longer Baby Emma. It's "Eiffel Tower." How very Fancy.

And lately she keeps walking around after Zack saying, "You're a Geeee-nee i us Zack! You're a geee nee i us! It cracks me up.

The other night at dinner, Dave made some joke and Anna just looked at him and said, "Oh Daddy, you're hopeless!" We could hardly keep from bursting out laughing at that one. Seriously. Where in the world did that come from? The world is getting a little bigger for this little girl. sigh. Despite my efforts otherwise. But it sure is fun to hear what she comes up with.

11 months

11 months old.

I can't believe it!
You took your first steps on your 11 month bday. They were a little wobbly, but you managed to make it 3 or 4 good steps before the wobbly-ness got the best of you. And here are some 11 month old pics in your birthday suit. Because it's the cutest suit you have.
Love you sweet boy!
