Annelise turned 2 in June! We can't believe it! She is talking up a storm (putting 3-5 words together) and she makes us laugh every day! Some of our favorite things she is saying these days are: Whyee (why), LaLa (water), GiGi (her lovey), What do do daddy? (what are you doing daddy), framfreen (trampoline), Ah Ah (monkey).
She is taking a interest in accessories and jewelry lately. She puts on my bracelets one by one up past her elbow. She slips on my heals and surprisingly walks quite well in them!! She is also loving baby dolls. She bounces gently while holding one and says "Sh Sh Sh" in a rhythmic fashion to put the baby to sleep- it's precious!! I painted her toenails for the 1st time on her birthday- she was so excited. We have been eating her up lately!!Here she is celebrating her birthday at Ma's- she received all kinds of dress-up jewelry and loved it!

For her birthday we had a dance party/cookout at a nearby park. Austin dubbed a CD of our favorite dance music to play for everyone. Annelise loved it!

Dancing with Daddy

Here we are doing the YMCA song- all the kids joined in for some silly dancing.
