...eating eating and more eating..

instead of adding a whole new section -
I thought I'd just stick this one picture in...

I feel like the only pictures on this blog are of Anna in her car seat - or in her highchair
so here are some more

As for our garden - Anna totally loves it -
HOWEVER - we have a problem with the zucchini...
sometimes they have a tendancy to get out of control.
two days ago - it was a rainy mess, so we could not go harvest our crop...
yeah - so being a few hours late - the zucchini went wild.
this was one day of the stupid squash...
I've been begging co-workers for zucchini-bread recipies..

and Anna is a very good taster...
Anna is learning how to work the spoon..
we're getting there slowly

but getting there is half the fun? right? now the spoon... this is how it works:

- hold the spoon

- take a handful of dinner

- put it on the spoon

- eat

like I said before.. slowly

but we're getting there!!!

ps - spaghettios are her new favorite

here is her new butterfly dress one more in the car seat...

and here is one big fat picture of me... just so you can see the progress of numero dos

..a little time outside..

when we play in the garden - Anna insists on holding on to something...

today it was a sunflower

always so proud of her crop...

notice she's got a teeny tiny pepper there too...

\and now she's learning the fine art of blowing raspberries... and if this isn't the posterchild for sunscreen - I don't know who is!
notice how big mommy is getting in the background...

big teeth coming in to take my sleep

something has to be said about how adorable it is to see a little kid sleeping so peacefully.
HOWEVER
if this little girl is not sleeping peacefully at 3am on a Wednesday...
and refuses to go back to sleep for hours and hours-
and you finally give in and bring her into your own bed so you can be somewhat functional for work the next day...
In a way – she has forced you to turn Sesame Street on and have Elmo call to her in the wee hours of the morning..
But only because you don’t have the heart to wake her up yourself because, after all – she is painfully cute

and June turns into July..

It seems this morning - on the way to Nanny's house - we had a little trouble getting moving...

Anna was VERY excited to have her first 'real' 4th of July picnic..

she got to hang out with friends!

and it was exhausting!

....now we eat big pieces of apples...
it seems we have more & more pictures of this kid sleeping in the car -
but something about an open window.. a bottle... a little bit of sun...
this is Uncle Jonathan not listening to us when we tell him -
"if they are real Prada glasses - do not let her wear them!"
...but uncles will be uncles...

Anna and I were going for a ride the other day - and she put her own hat on - ALL BY HERSELF
needless to say - I was QUITE pleased!

and and and....

we went to the doctor yesterday -

Anna is going to have A BROTHER!!
