Almost June

SO!

it is nearly June - and nearly the little lady's birthday...

here is a bit of the Memorial Day weekend's festivities..

First!

Friday - Nanny went out and got Anna the proper gear for a good holiday weekend...

a lawn chair - and she LOVES IT

Anna and I watch as Daddy preps the garden...

it was like Bob the Builder was in our back yard!

We bought a new chair - and of course - Anna had to test it out...

Test out the new chair - and test out the new faces I KNOW I'm going to regret teaching her how to make
and one just being cute...

a quick trip to McDonalds - with a nugget in each hand..

then today -

I am back at work - exhausted...

and Anna is back at Nana's house - exhausted
...going... ...going.... ...going...

GONE
but after a quick nap - she's awake and playing...

and the Haircut!!

First we had to discuss what type of doo we wanted....

then Anna had to check out the first few snips...


we had to do some major distracting....

more distracting - more snipping

All and all - Anna was VERY well behaved!!

and when everything was said and done -

Anna was EXHAUSTED!

Mother's Day Festivities....

For Mother's Day my mommy took a bunch of cutey pictures of Anna

so here they are!

ELLLLL
MOOOO!!!

Some Grandparents...

My mom & Anna had run to the foodstore - to get a few essentials - and a balloon...

and they bumped into my friend (Nicole Wu) who snapped a quick picture of them

cute as can be!!

and here is Anna with Poppy..

notice the Elmo face... aka elMOOOOO

Spring has sprung!

Here are two more...

Anna got her hair cut yesterday - and these two you can really get a sense of before & after...

a little shaggy in the first

and a little more contained in the second

this first one - I didn't know if the screaming was happy or sad -

but seeing as she's outside...

it's happy screaming (but she does look like she trapped in there with a monster!)

Constant talking on the phone...




some side-by-side comparison of screams

Two for the weekend........

We took a few bath pictures last night...

and they were just too cute to not share!

and this one is cute because you can see her saying "Who ME? Cute?"

Mayday Mayday!

A few updates just to bring us into May -

Here is Anna in her baby swing

we keep telling her that she's a big girl - but she insists if she can fit - she can play..

and sing

and sing

and sing

and sing...

you get the idea

Here she is outside in her new swing...

I like the hat Daddy put on her... little small you think?

this picture was from "Bring Your Anna to Work Day" - She was in the office for about 10 - maybe 12 minutes - and then we went out to lunch - PERFECT!

sad sad sad sad and more sad

poor Chauncey died on Monday... so I thought I'd put a few pictures of the boys on here in honor of him...
He was a good cat and a very good buddy - I feel bad for little Fred - he's going to be very lonely without his brother
Lord knows I'm lonely without him

April Showers

I know I've been scarce with the pictures - March was trecherous -

and April doesn't seem to be doing much better....

BUT!

we're here now- here goes..

Anna got a new mammy - Red like Elmo!

April -so far - has been the month of Prunes for the little lady - so here is the "MOMMY NO MORE PRUNES" face..

Anna has discovered how delicious flowers are

This seems to be her favorite position sleeping...

head snuggled into the corner - keester straight up in the air..

AND THE LONG AWAITED TRIP TO THE EASTER BUNNY!!!

If she could walk - she would have knocked all the other kids out of the way to get near that bunny - completely fearless - and totally smitten with the rabbit!

Hotdogs and Burgers for lunch..

eating all by herself now!
