Anabelle is Offically One

Yep, another birthday post, but why not? My sweetie only turns one once right?
First off, for those who are interested Anabelle had her one year pics done (and some family shots too) By Christy Packanowski recently and they truned out SO CUTE!!! If you want to check them out go to www.clpphotography.com...the client and then the password is "anabelle". :)
We celebrated her offical big day up north at my parents cottage. It was crummy weather all week so beaching it was out so we ent to the Kaliseum (in Kalkaska, MI). What might you ask is the Kaliseum? It's essentially a hokey named rec center with a fun pool and kiddie pool for the kiddos! Anabelle was NOT into it at first, but the idea grew on her in a hurry and she really had a blast! The take it slow approach really is very much Anabelles way, she does this with most things these days.
Much has changed with Anabelle in the last month even. SHe is now preferring walking over crawling and at times even breaks into a little trot. It's too cute to see her scoot around more. It really has given her more independance and has helped her be somewhat less needy (praise God!). She is eating many different foods, but is a moody/quirky eater like her mama (I knew that would bite me in the butt someday!). We are over half done with her last can of formula and is transitioning to milk so easily! SHe had also said her first word.."Look" which we hear all the time now with frantic pointing. I love this window into her as we now can understand more what shes facitated by. Hmm...I could go on, but will not bore you with my rambling :) Here are a few pics of some other fun things that have been happening lately with Anabelle: Warming up to the water with mommy at the KaliseumWhen Anabelle learned to walk she also learned to climb...EVERYTHING!
Anabelle now sleeps with her cow pillow and blankie :) Sweet dreams love!
New sunhat and shades
The girls watch Sid the Science kid at lunch time (so mommy can get lunch ready!) and as soon as the music starts, Anabelle grins and starts rocking!Enough hair for a bow!!! "Look"

Happy Birthday Anabelle!
