Halloween 2008

My old boss from Olan Mills, Kimberly bought the baby four different halloween costumes but I really liked this pink leopord. It was cute with the pull down hood with the ears and the tail on the back. It had little gloves that looked like paws but she was not having it. We went and visited Jamison's grandparents and passed out candy and ate dinner. (for most of you reading I am talking about your grandparents or parents) They are two of the most awesome people I know. And they love the baby. And the baby loves them more than anyone because they always make it appoint that they HAVE to see her all the time. We love them.

9 Months .... Finally.

So Anella is starting to turn into an actsual person. She stands, crawls, eats, drinks from a cup, and even has a great personality. But of course I would say that I am her mama. Here she is finally in winter gear. Its pretty cold here in Kingman.

Pickin & Choosin

The scheduel now starts off with a sit at the dining room table. I never sat at the table when I was a kid, we always sat in the living room or in our bedrooms, where ever but never the dining room or kitchen. I think that it is really good that she gets to have a normal upbringing. LOL. Here she is eating Cheerios and dehydrated bananas and strawberries.

Fun With Rex

It's just as entertaining for Anella as it is for Rex to sit at the screen door and watch the birds fly around and cars drive by. I caught her in the act in this one.

Jammies!!!

I decided to go completly nuts when we got Nell's new p.j.s I took her picture in like every single pair. I have to say that these Dora ones are the cutest. They are like little thermals and they are totally adorable. I give em a week.

Glamour Shots

Sorry to everyone that reads and views this. I havent put any pictures up since August. Well I guess I can sum up the past two months. These are some of my favorite glamour shots of Anella. She's just so photogenic. These pics were taken in some really great hand me downs. She does a great job of not looking at the camera so I can get these candid shots.

Kisses!!!

Anella has learned her first "real person" activity. Kissing. Every time that I sit next to her she looks at me and flys at me with a kiss. I haven't seen her kiss Jamison as much but I know that she kisses me all the time. And if I just say "kisses" than she puckers up. Its awesome. She puts the hugest smile on my face.

Goin' Back To My Roots

So my dad decided it was completely necessary to buy Nay this dress. It's really obnoxious and totally us. Lol. Its like one of those weird "straight from Mexico" type suits. It looks awesome on her though. But she really doesn't like it. AT ALL!

Happiness-Plain & Simple

This is Jamison's favorite suit for Anella, as you can tell she doesnt really mind it either. These were taken after a nice long bath. She looks just like Daddy sometimes.

Lookin' Like My Mama

This picture will show you what genes she got from her mother. An attitude and a little bit of style.

. A . B . C .

Anella is constantly walking in this walker. The kitchen is her favorite place because it has tile and she can just "glide" where ever she wants to go. She loves playing with the letters on the fridge. They all end up on the floor, then the cats bat them around, then Jamison kicks them around the room, then I get to pick them all up. It's really fun for the whole family... sort of.

Having Fun With Daddy!

Now this is exactly what happens when I am at work. Naked girls, nose picking, and happiness. She does get away with everything when she is with him. She really is the "princess".

What A Big Girl!

Anella just got her first two teeth about two weeks ago. Now that she has the teeth she wants to eat everything! We have been feeding her baby food for three months, and she really doesnt like it. She loves to eat people food. She likes bread and soup and other stuff. But since we are new parents we don't really know what is "okay" for her to eat. Any suggestions? She has really fallen in love with "biter biskets" and apple juice. She has pretty much mastered using a cup, as long as it has handles. I think she is doing well.

Anella Loves Mama!

I decided after some time that I needed to go back to work. Jamison left his job at the Beacon and now he has to do my old job... taking care of Anella. I thought he didn't appreciate me being the "stay at home mom" and he thought that I didn't appreciate him going to work everyday. I can tell that changing positions for a month has really opened both of our eyes. It's hard to do either of the jobs and we defintaly appreciate each other more. This picture was taken on one of my days off. She loves it when I have a day off, because I get up early and make her eat food, play, and take naps on a schedule. Its kind of more structured then when her dad does it, but she likes it on occasion. I love working, but I think I would rather be at home. Lol. I guess it's a mom thing. Either way she is still a mama's girl!

Intro To "Blogging".

Hi everyone! We have decided to make or should I say copy this "blogging" idea from Destiny. But we would like to keep in touch with our family from out of town. I really have no idea how to do this, but I will try. Having a family is an amazing journey and to watch and read what goes on in a familys growth is very special. I hope that you guys can see what my life is like threw my eyes and I look forward to seeing yours as well.
