We made cupcakes!

Anabelle is such a good helper in the kitchen! Finally, after talking about it for weeks, we finally made CUPCAKES! And it was so much fun.

Anabelle put all the liners carefully in each cup.

Helped with the stirring (only a little got on the counter, floor and mom)!

Of course, you have to lick the batter to make sure it tastes ok!

Then came the hardest part ... waiting for them to be ready.
But when they were, boy was it worth it! YUM!

Maybe next week, we'll try cookies! Maybe.

Sitting pretty

Macy is now 3 1/2 months old and I feel like if you look at her you can see her grow! She is getting really good at holding up her head so she is now a fan of her Bumbo chair! And she loves to "stand" if mom and dad are holding her.

Another necessary but very un-fun milestone: I think she's starting to get some teeth! She's a drool machine and puts her hands in her mouth lots. So, look forward to a picture with a toothy grin!

Picture Day Picture Day

Here is what it was like at picture day for Anabelle, Macy, Mom and Dad. Click on the picture and it should take you to a new website. Then towards the top left select "Slideshow". Send me a comment if it doesn't work so I can try to fix it. Thanks!

New Videos

Just a reminder that new videos show up from time to time on the left panel. We don't always have a post specifically for each video. Hope things are going well for everyone. Have a great Labor Day Weekend.

Anabelle's 2 year check-up

Yesterday, Anabelle had her doctor's visit and all was great! The night before I told her that if she was good we would go buy her some finger paint. Well, that's all she talked about before, during and after! So, yes she did great and yes we bought paint!
She now weighs 25 lbs (30th percentile) and is 35 inches (75th percentile). Tall and skinny, who would have guessed!

Happy Birthday Anabelle!

(Here she is showing you her "Birthday Girl" shirt!)

Wow, Anabelle is 2 years old today! Her party was last weekend but we still had to do some celebrating today! What a fun day! We went to a toy store where she got to paint and make some crafts and play with the dolls (her favorite), then we went to lunch and she got to eat Mac and Cheese! Then after nap time we went to a picnic/block party and got to see some animals and a clown. Then (mom's favorite part of the day) we went to eat CUPCAKES! Yum.
