Silly!

Anneliese and Grandma had lots of fun goofing around and being silly these past few days.

 Anneliese loved the "Magic Carpet Ride" ! !

Pickles and Ice Cream

Is this Kosher?

 Mmm... raspberry melba sauce!

Coopers Cave Ice Cream!

What?  Do I have something on my face?

P.S. Anneliese went pee pee on the potty today for the very first time!!!!
(And it startled her, she wasn't sure what was happening LOL)

No fun at the park

ALF riding in her new (to her) Jeep stroller.  It looks like she's texting while driving... Oscar looks on disapprovingly.

Yay swing!

That's a big slide mommy...

Violet's Birthday Party!

Today ALF went to her bff Violet's 2nd birthday party!  She had a blast!  Happy Birthday Violet!

Blow out your candle!

 Yay!

 

 Violet opening up the present ALF got her! 

 

Party's are all about the food!  Mmm...

Pic of the day!

Whoooo you lookin' at?

Fiesta!

Anneliese worked her charm greeting all the other customers with a "hi!" and a wave when they came in. She had yummy chips, quesadillas, and flautas! It was a good night.

I'm hungry!

Oh, the Joys of a 16 Month Old

 Grandma is under her spell!

 Wrestling or something like that...

 When we said put the sticker on your belly, we didn't really mean ON your belly!

12 months ago...

 ...she was such a little baby.

Now she is getting so big and independent. We love watching her learn and grow everyday. <3

ALF Vader

I find your lack of snacks disturbing.

Library and a bad hair day

ALF went to the library today and showed off her fancy hair do. 

ALF Dressage

ALF is yelling at the dang horse 'cause shes above the bit, strung out, and uneven.  How is she ever going to be like Charlotte Dujardin with a horse like this?

ALF at the library!

ALF went to the library and played in the children's room.  She liked the trains a lot.  She also liked opening and closing the cabinet doors over and over and over...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Anneliese loves you!

15 Month Check Up

Anneliese had a great 15 month check up, of course. :)
Height: 31.5in = 75%
Weight: 23lbs 5oz. = 53%
Head Circumference: 18.75in = 89%

The doctor said for the eczema on her eyelid, there really isn't too much that can be done because it is such a delicate area and we don't want her to accidentally rub any medicine into her eye. Just keep using the Aquaphor and clean it gently, as per the dermatologist.

The eczema on the back of her head has been spreading. It is very red and flaky so we got a stronger steroid cream to apply for a week to try to get it under control.

The doctor was glad that ALF is running, climbing, knows lots of words and gestures, and developmentally on track. She also said she could likely switch from whole to 2% milk anytime since the fat content is different but the vitamins are the same. Since Anneliese is not a picky eater, she could make the switch when we feel she's ready.

ALF got her vaccines for Measles and Mumps and for Chicken Pox. She was pissed.

Preschool!?

Our little girl is all grown up... well not quite yet, but she is registered for toddler class at the First Presbyterian Preschool.  I think she will have lots of fun playing and learning with the other kids. She made herself right to home at the Lego table on our tour today.

After, we went to have a little fun at the bouncy house in the mall. She had a good time for about 5 minutes then it was time for shopping. She led me into Clarie's where there is an abundance of Hello Kitty stuff and she went crazy for "cat, cat, CAT!!!".

An apple a day...

Football, nachos, and tiaras

ALF watched the Superbowl yesterday in her Seahawks jersey!  She also enjoyed some nachos with extra sour cream before bed.

 

Even princesses need baths.

Playdate with Elizabeth!

 Anneliese and Elizabeth had lots of fun on their first playdate... finally! 

Looking forward to more in the near future.
