The Skateborder in Action

Spending time outside on Friday Annaka thought she would show off for me.
She was actually pretty good!!

I made it!!

I had surgery on August 10th and because of that I couldn't lift Annaka for 6 weeks. She has been going to her daycare mom, Judy's house 5 days a week. You don't realize how much you lift your child until you can't do it. I really miss not having her here with me. I can not wait to have her back home with me on my days off. She is so fun and so happy.

Surgery was a lot tougher than I had prepared myself for. Unfortunately, I had to have another surgery on September 6th for a complication that came up. Its been a long road but we are getting to the end. I am just glad that I don't have to start the 6 weeks over from the 2nd date of the surgery. Annaka is getting so grown up. She says so many things and has such a personality. Her favorite words are .. moo, meow, sissy, bro-bro, no, mine, mama, dada, nana, dudu for Judy, night-night...

Her favorite things are books, her blankey, stuffed animals, chocolate milk, dancing, and being around her big brother and sister.

She has tantrums now. Falls to the ground, arches her back and lets out a scream. She can get really mad if she doesn't get something she wants. If her big sister has a stuffed animal and she wants it she will defiantly let her know! And if you don't give it to her she will start the tantrum, watch out!

For Halloween she is going to be a cow. She LOVES to say MOO. She thinks everything says mo0 and will look at pratically any animal and say moooooShe has a Halloween party to go to at Laney's house and there will be 2 of her other friends there. They are going to decorate pumpkins and play. I will take pictures to and post them to show you.

What a joy she has brought to our family. Scott and I wonder when we will look at her and not think about the 1st year of her life. She has blessed us so much.

Okay, I wrote that about 1 week ago and today was my first day home with Annaka. WOW, what a difference from being home alone. Her new thing today is to hit me and then look at me and say "no, no" and to stand and walk on our couch and to say "no,no" the whole time she is doing it. Oh, and she throws her food when she is done eating, and her fork,and her spoon.. She's a cutie, but a stinker to! SO, here are a couple pictures of her. This is her halloween costume I was talking about. I got it off of Ebay and it is really cute. She isnt to fond of it on, but everytime she sees it in her room she looks and it and says MOO. Another picture, is of her Uncle Kip who she adores and wants him to hold her the entire time he is here. The reason he is not smiling is because everytime he comes to visit he buys a ice-cream cake and had a mouth full when I snapped this shot!

Then one of her, Jade and Ally walking on our road. I love these kind of pictures.
