The Mess Maker

Anna Lee has lately become a professional mess-maker. It is amazing how fast she can get into things!!! She can make the messes a lot faster than I can clean them up! Here are a few pictures I have gotten over the past couple of weeks.

Happy LATE Halloween!!

We had such a fun time dressing Anna Lee up for Halloween! For Trunk or Treat at church, we dressed her up as a sheep, and made our trunk into a barn. Anna Lee (surprisingly) sat in the trunk surrounded by hay, and would occasionally say "Baa". On Halloween night, we dressed her up as a pumpkin. She did NOT like that costume! We made her wear it long enough to get some pictures, though.

The Pumpkin Patch

We took Anna Lee to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago. She didn't quite know what to think about all of the pumpkins, but she loved getting to see and pet the animals in the petting zoo. She did really well considering the fact that we kept making her have her picture taken while squinting in the bright sun!

Family Time

Anna Lee has had a busy few weeks. Besides getting a stomach bug (which was a new experience for all of us!), she has gotten to see a lot of her family. We visited her cousins at their new, beautiful house (but sadly, forgot to take any pictures!). She got to see her Aunt Kara, who was home for a few days from Spain, and this past weekend, we visited her great-grandmother in Sudan, Texas. She has had fun getting to play with, and more importantly, be spoiled by all of her family.

This past week, Anna Lee learned to give kisses. There is nothing sweeter...

Anna Lee makes everyday tasks a little more interesting...

9 Month Portraits

Anna Lee had her 9 month portraits made last week. She was very unsure of the man taking her picture, so I am thankful we at least got a few with her smiling! The picture of her in the chair- not smiling- was her mood the whole time we were there! Hope you enjoy! Can't believe she is already 9 months old!

Catching Up

So I said forever that I wouldn't do a blog...but here I am...

Anna Lee is 9 months old now, and into EVERYTHING! My how time flies! Sorry it has been so long since I put new pictures online. Anna Lee is such a joy! She is crawling all over the house, and loves to get into anything she is not supposed to...i.e. the trash, the toilet, under the rugs, etc. I feel like I am always chasing after her! We are having so much fun with her, and are thankful for her everyday. Here are some of our favorite recent pictures. Hope you enjoy!
