How Do You Know You Have A Toddler? |
It
has been so long since I updated this site. I am sorry about that. But in order to catch up, there will be
more pictures and less text.
But
let’s start with: how do you know your baby has turned in to a
toddler? Well, many people use the
“walking” hurdle. Others may use a “verbal”
hurdle. Me? I use what I call
(scientifically) the Nose Picking Hurdle.
This is how Annabelle looks 80% of the time.
Need I Go On???
Okay,
going back to March – my friends Heidi (Annabelle’s Godmother) and
Karyn visited from NYC/Boston respectively. As expected in March in
“So
Annabelle, this is how you chase a bloody mary…..” – words of
wisdom from her godmother!
We also
had our first big snowstorm.
Annabelle
is climbing everything she can possible can. She’s running around like a
maniac. Her daycare assessment was along the lines of “off the chart
gross motor skills; needs to work on fine motor skills.” She loves physical activity but is not
so big on the “sit still and do a puzzle” activities.
We’ve
hit the pool as the temps have soared, but Annabelle is not a water baby. She
loves her bath, but put her in water bigger than a tub and “no
wa-wa’ is her take. Here she is with Elizabeth, who IS definitely a water
girl.
We’ve
been doing lots of summer activities:
We
became members of the zoo where Annabelle loves learning the names of the
animals in front of her.
On the way to the zoo with friend
Naomi
Annabelle loves the camels while
Mom has a flashback to a 3 week camel trek across
See the wolves honey?
Coming home from the zoo!
BBQs………………………….
Play dates…

concerts at the
Hiking
with Dogs
In Front of ME
In Back of Me
Annabelle
is starting to show a lot of imaginative play. Here she is playing dress up and saying
“bye bye” after she is dressed up.
Getting her
outfit together
All dressed up
She turns and
says to me “bye bye mommy”
Going bye bye
She
also loves to play with my sunglasses
Spending
time with grandfolks – she calls grandpa “pop pop”and grandma
“nana”
She’s also
becoming quite an Artiste (with a capital A)
The finished Art
She discovered
Playdoh (and boy does it taste yummy)
And In a series
of photos that reminds me of that kid who bangs his head in a bucket in the
movie “parenthood”
We’re
working on potty training awareness
Kissing Mommy
And
Finally – just looking adorable.
night night
