Too Funny...

While at the library today I was standing behind a lady whose daughter was around 18 months and Annabelle and the girl were looking at each other. Annabelle was waving at her daughter trying to say hi and the lady was SO IMPRESSED. She told me that Annabelle was a genius and we should take her and get her tested in a year. I smiled and said thanks, but she was persistent and kept telling me babies shouldn't know how to wave so soon and use it in a proper situation. Well ofcourse Annabelle is genius baby...I mean look at her parents :) So tonight I got my BabyCenter update and lo and behold it says...

IT'S A FACT: By 8 months, most babies can learn sign language, whether formalized signs or simple gestures, such as waving "bye-bye."

Well it's OK to be normal...Right? :)

So onto the other info. Annabelle is on the move...she scoots though. It's the funniest thing she keeps her left leg on the ground and moves forward with her right leg and moves her left leg up to her right. She's getting quick though. She is so interested in standing and walking with help. She LOVES to walk around holding onto our fingers. She can't pull up onto things yet...but I think she's almost there. What happened to my baby?

Annabelle clapping!!! (our genius baby)

Annabelle in her "Pooh" oufit. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Lawyer!

My canning effort. I canned around 40 jars of applesauce, peaches and apple pie filling. Next time I need a real kitchen.

Plucking sunflower seeds from a sunflower and making yummy salted sunflower seeds was fun! Annabelle was my little helper!
