Anna is 11 Months Old.........

Wow, time sure flies when we're having fun. We can't beleive Anna is already 11 months old. Next month she's going to be One! Anna can't wait until she gets bigger so she can keep her big brother in place. I have my bets on Anna, because she definitely has more "muscles" on her bones. Anna gets very mad when Peter takes one of her toys - she starts screaming and if she is really upset she'll fall onto her back onto the floor and continue to scream. She can be very stubborn at times too, but we know mommy does not put up with that at all, so that is something she'll grow out of real soon. As for crawling - Anna is all over the place, but if she had a choice she prefers to stand and try to walk. She stands in her crib all the time, luckily she is short - so we don't have to worry about her climbing out of the crib yet. Anna only has 2 teeth still, we are waiting for more to come in so she can start chewing (instead of gumming) some real food. Anna loves her saltine crackers, cheerios, pasta, and ice cream. Anna eats quite well and also loves her formula. She waves by waving her whole arm and hand, and she is so excited when she clucks, she has the biggest smile on her face. When you ask Anna to clap - she looks at both hands and instead of clapping she'll start slapping the table/tray with both hands instead of clapping & laughs along too. As for toys - her favorite is her Jumperoo and her pink bun bun she loves to cuddle with at nap time and bed time. Margaret has to find more of those pink bun bun - just to make sure we have back ups. Anna also has her favorite soft blankie that she likes to hug too while going to sleep. Anna sleeps throughout the night, unless if she has a poopie - then she wakes up for a changing and she goes right back to sleep. She usually goes to bed about 9-9:30pm and wakes up about 12 hours later, unless her big brother misses her and he decides to wake her up. She has a great personality and is such a happy and easy going baby. Both Peter and Anna are two great kiddos, and we are so lucky that they are part of our family.

Happy Birthday Da Da......

Today Daddy turned 50 years old, yes that big five oh! We took him out for Dinner for his big day. This weekend we are having a small party for him. Daddy really dind't want to have a party, but mommy told him that we were going to have something for the big Five Oh! Daddy got a very nice Birthday gift, since he didn't want a big party - mom spent that mommy on a cruise to Alaska. Daddy always wanted to go to Alaska. So daddy, mommy, and Peter and Anna are all going. It should be a lot of fun.

June 7th, 2007 - we had a party for kerry for his 50th Birthday. Originally it was just suppose to be immediate family and no one else, but since when does mommy listen to daddy. Margaret (mommy) invited a few of daddy's frinds too to the party. Daddy was quite surprised when he saw his friends walking into the backyard.

Unfortunately, the days after Daddy's birthday weren't as fun. Both kids turned out to get sick. But after a week of sleepless nights and both kids being needy - they are both healthy and happy - just in time for our trip to Alaska.
