A Gymboree day for Ann

rain, rain go away

I wish the weather here was like this everyday! Humidity? What humidity?

Jump for joy

Ann's first experience at the jumpy castle spot in Pearland was a success. She is fearless!

While brother is away...

Jack has school on Tues and Thur mornings. Little does Jack know that during this time Ann loves to play with all his toys in his room (including the sacred dinosaurs). She also LOVES being outside. We go for a walk or play in the backyard.

My pansies were today's favorite find.

Frank goes for a ride

Frank has been coming with us in the car while we leave the house during times the Realtor is showing the place to potential buyers. Jack and Frank are becoming good back seat buddies.

Dragon Jack

We got Jack a dragon activity book for his birthday. We worked on a few pages in the book last night and he chose this nifty dragon mask to cut out (I cut it out). He was very impressed with himself in the mirror and even wore the mask to bed.

Playing together!!

Although rare I am seeing Jack and Ann playing together more and more. Ann mostly watches and listens to Jack (he is very entertaining). He interacts with her some though... even if it is just to bonk her on the head with the occasional toy.

Picnic at the park

How could we resist!

The weather was beautiful this afternoon. 64 degrees and a bright blue sky. More of this please.

Keeping busy at Petsmart

To pass the time on a cold afternoon we made a trip to petsmart. Jack liked all the goldfish, especially the "broken" ones. Ann was very interested/freaked out by the parakeets. We even caught a glimpse of a baby milk snake before it slithered away to hide under its warming rock.

11 months old

Ann is crawling, pulling up, and cruising everywhere. Her favorite things are playing outside and bath time. She eats very little baby food and prefers what we are having. Ann has tried and likes spaghetti, chili, ham/cheese sandwich, any fruit except bananas, and most veggies (especially broccoli and avocados). She also really likes having her board books read to her. Baby Faces is her very favorite but Ann likes any book with photos of babies or animals. She is very smiley and entertains herself well with her toys. She is such an easy baby.
