Ewww...poop!

Last Thursday, March 11th, Papa and I arrived home (well, his home) from work and just as we were coming in the house, AnnaBeth was hurrying out the open back door toward the sandbox. I stood on the patio with Nana and Papa and we all watched AnnaBeth as she crawled through the yard picking up leaves and grass and asking "wha-sis (what's this)?" Right before she reached the sandbox, she grabbed one more thing to ask what it was. What she held up was a piece of DOG POO! Yep, that's my girl...picking up poo and not even thinking twice about it! Fortunately it didn't go in her mouth (like most outside things) but she sure didn't like me whisking her inside to wash her hands.

11 Months and First Snow

AnnaBeth is 11 months (well, now just 8 days away from turning 1!!!) and is such a big girl! She still won't walk (although, I'm sure she could if she really wanted to) but she is getting a lot better at standing for longer periods of time. She loves to play in the sandbox at Nana's and read stories. She now dances and claps on command and frequently says: "uh oh", "wha-sis" (what's this), "wha-szat" (what's that), "ack-ooh" (thank you), and "i did it" (not sure how to type out how she actually says it). She occasionally will say "ah-duh" (all done) and "kee" (kitty).

On a play date with Taryn trying to convince her that playing in the sand is the cool thing to do Reading timeStanding all by herself!

AnnaBeth's great Aunt Beth sent her a snowsuit from Minnesota so a couple of weekends ago, we took her to play in the snow for the first time. She was a little unsure at first but then seemed to really enjoy herself!

The Rest of Month 10

It's time to finish up AnnaBeth's 10th month on here, especially since she will be turning 1 in less than two weeks!! Here she's practicing her xylophone playing skills.Here we have some pictures of a game she likes to play with us. She goes in to her room and opens and closes the door and has a blast playing peekaboo! Was told the game was over and was NOT happy about itI think I can climb thisLet me just get situated here....And here I go!! Celebrating "I Love You" Day

We have spent lots of time at the park lately since the weather has been absolutely gorgeous! Arizona is horrible for summers but we sure do have a REALLY nice winter (well, once we hit February-March). I've taken far too many pictures to post so here's the easy way to view them =)
