Dancing

AnnaBeth really seems to like it when the Nick Jr. channel plays a Laurie Berkner song. She ends up standing on the keyboard so she can be right in front of the tv.

Talking in the Tub

I wish I had a clue what she's saying!

Kisses

AnnaBeth has learned how to make the kiss sound and proceeds to do so whenever I ask her to give one of her stuffed animals a kiss. She also does so when giving Rufus a kiss (that is, when he's patient enough to not run away). Forgive for the poor quality of video...I used my cell phone and the lighting was so-so.

1st Art Project

Yesterday at church, AnnaBeth made me a very special Mother's Day card. The kids used their hand print as the flower but she decided that she would make me a bouquet (she hates having her hands restricted for any reason so I'm sure this is how I ended up with so many "flowers"). It's now hanging at my desk at work =)

Mother's Day 2010

I had a great day today! Church, lunch at Wayne and Julie's and time with my hubby and sweet girl. We still have to get together with my parents to celebrate as this weekend was too busy to fit everything in. AnnaBeth DID NOT want to cooperate for pictures today so this is the best I got:

And here's a little video of AnnaBeth talking to herself. At around 33 seconds, she clearly says "sit down."

Arthritis Walk

Today, AnnaBeth and I participated in the Arthritis Walk at the Phoenix Zoo in support of my friend Tammi who was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis as a kid. We walked with Tammi and her boyfriend Rene, had a GREAT time and I got lots of pics at the zoo! Enjoy!

Giggles!

Growing Up

AnnaBeth is learning to do more and more things for herself. In the last week, she has been working on brushing her teeth, washing her hair and feeding herself with a spoon.

Sandals

A few weeks ago, AnnaBeth's Tia YaYa (Laura) went to the kids consignment store and picked up a few articles of clothing and two pairs of shoes. One pair was a pair of Gymboree sandals that appeared to have never been worn and they're super adorable! I had AnnaBeth try them last weekend to see if she'd be able to walk in them and she walked like a champ in them!
