Week 9 and 10

Well, I don't have any pictures from week 9 because we spent most of it crying and yanking on our molar growing mouth. I guess I could have tried to snap a picture, maybe next time. This week Annaka is feeling a little bit better, she is still working on those molars but they don't seem to be bothering her as much. She has been waking during the night again, which makes this mama sad, but also trying to enjoy those late night/early morning cuddles from out growing girl. We switched out her clothes to 18 months, OH BOY! They are still a big but fitting better all the time.
This is one thing Annaka learned this week.

Week 8

Annaka has learned how to climb, she had learned how to climb with assistance and needed help to get down a couple weeks ago. Now she is full blown climbing, so much changes in a week! Watching her master this task has showed me her determination, her willingness to ask for help with she feels in over her head and her boldness. Three things that I hope develop in her and that I hope she does not loose over the years but it only grows stronger and stronger. Love this little girl more and more all the time. 

                                                              

Week 7

So here are a couple pictures of our sweet little almost 14 month old. This week while her auntie was babysitting she braided her hair. Makes her look like such a BIG kiddo. 

These days it's hard to get a pictures of Annaka when she is not moving or sitting still and watching a movie. This is one of those moments. Thanks again Auntie Allison for getting this ADORABLE shot of our sweet little bug. 

This week we had a play date and meet some new friends. Annaka's back gums are also a little swollen so I am thinking MOLARS!!!! We also discovered that she enjoys cheddar cheese! 

Week 6

My sister took this picture last week and emailed it to me. I LOVE it. This is my girl always alert, checking things out and very curious. She makes me laugh everyday. 

Week 5

This week for Annaka: Baby Girl was dedicated at The Rock Church, had a visit from Oliver and his mommy, visited at Grammy Joy's house, had a snuggle day watching Toy Story 3 (was not feeling to good). She has been walking round with a blanket on her head and running into things hehe. Annaka tried a lemon and she loved it! She also has enjoyed carrying around my shoe.

Our daughter is a ton of fun and is always doing funny new things. We just adore her. 

Some things I do not want to forget about my daughter that may change at any time, as most things do. 

Things Annaka likes:

Yo Gabba Gabba

Pushing chairs around the house

month 12 learning to put things back into something

blowing when food is too hot.

a lot more clapping.

understanding so much more language.

Week 4 of Annaka

This week we had Aunt Jill and Aunt Kate over for dinner. We also visited little Oliver. Kyle and I are starting to wonder how so much personality is packed into this tiny little person that we love and adore. Annaka is funnier and funnier everyday. She is started to saying more words like: Cracker, bath, Gus, avacado and Meow. Of course they are not always very clear, let's be honest they are never clear but I know what she is saying. When she is trying to tell us something and we understand her she giggles, we take this as a "Yes, that is exactly what I want."

We love you our little Snuggle Bug!

A year in the life of Annaka

So I saw this posting on Nicki's blog (http://hipsterhomesteading.wordpress.com/) and I thought that it would be a great way to keep track of all of Annaka's sweet little details this year. I believe you can sign up on this blog (http://cheandfidel.blogspot.com/) but I was too late to be a part of her collection. So I am just going to make my own collection. I meed to catch up, they are week 3 so here is 1,2 and 3.

This is week one, holding her handmade doll by her auntie Shalisa with her matching crown. She has been playing so much more with her toys. Figuring out how they work putting the shapes back into the box not just throwing them to the side, but placing them nicely in their box. 

( I know this is dated for December but it was the first week.)

Week 2: This is my sweet baby girl helping me bake cookies for my Grandmother's funeral. Even though she has begun to hit me when she is frustrated she is still my sunshine on a dark day.

Week 3: Enjoying her 1st peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Annaka also LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba, that show turns her frown upside down! She also loves, and has for awhile now, to push all of the chairs around the house. She also does not seem to like naps much anymore and is eating much less then she use to. She also hates milk. :/

So these are some things that I do not want to forget. Thank Nicki for inspiring this!
