Swingin'

Anna didn't smile much while she was swinging, but I think she liked it. She would smile and giggle when she looked at me, but there were so many other things going on at the park that had her attention most of the time. There were lots of other kids playing, an airplane flying over, some other people playing soccer, a little girl next to us that was swinging her baby doll, and a family walking their dogs. Now that I think about it, I wonder if Anna even realized she was swinging.

Happy Birthday Pappaw!!

One more milestone reached

I knew this day would come. I was just hoping it wouldn't be so soon. Anna's pulling up all the way to her feet, which in itself is not so bad. It's the fact that now that she is on her feet, she'll start walking. That's the part that I'm not ready for. But, wow, she's so proud of herself. And I think she knows that I'm proud of her too because I can't stop taking pictures of her standing up. She was really giving me the big grin tonight.

The Great Shoe Debacle

This is how it all went down...

Here she was, just minding her own business, looking all cute...

then I go and mess it all up...

You can tell by the look on her face, she's not thrilled with these new things on her feet. But I thought, we can work through this...

I was wrong. She got one shoe off and before I could get it back on, she had crawled (very quickly I might add) across the room. She sat up and looked at me like, "what the heck are you trying to do to me?" Needless to say...She got the other one off too.

Maybe we'll try again later.
