THANK YOU GRANDPA ED AND UNCLE JEREMY

Annabelle turned 1 on January 27th...Can you believe it? I surely can't. Well one thing is for sure, she is tiny...she weighs 16lbs 12oz and is in the 3rd percentile (no forward facing car seat for a LONG time) and she is 27 inches long again in the 3rd percentile. Combined she is in the 1st percentile of kids her age. It's always good to be 1st right??? :) (that's what our WIC person said...) I think it's because she's been walking and just burns everything right off. She paces our home, a trait she gets from her mom, and is in constant motion.

Grandpa Ed and Uncle Jeremy sent a Toys R Us gift card from Vegas and we wanted to show them what they got Annabelle.

Here is her loot... (sorry I didn't wipe her nose it is constantly running right now)

She LOVES her stroller and dolly...

She is giving "loves" to her dolly. My favorite picture.

Hawaii

We went to Hawaii for a few days for a Conference that Brent had to present at. We had a good time but taking an almost one year old was a bit stressful with the time change and the interuppted schedules. Here are some pics of Hawaii and Annabelle first taste of the ocean.

Annabelle's first time walking on sand. It was a challenge but she is always up for a challenge.

We were told that Hawaii's water is like bath water...warm. Wrong it was cold.

So we went to a mini pond that was built right next to the ocean...again a little too chilly.

So then we went to our Hotels pool...just right. We knew we could find a place to swim in Hawaii.
