Encores and More North

I'm going to consign some of Annalee's clothes, toys, etc... in the Encores and More North Consignment Sale here in a couple of weeks. I'm very excited because I went to their Spring/Summer sale and they had TONS of great stuff! Not only do they have consignment clothes, but they also have Gymboree/Boutique clothes 60%-80% off! The sale is here in the Rivergate area from August 9-16. I'll leave a link to their website here for anyone who's interested!

Summer Fun

Annalee and I are having a blast this summer. We have gotten to do so much more than she could do last summer. There's a big difference between 6 months old and 18 months old. Here she is enjoying her 1st ice cream sandwich. She (of course) loved it!

Doesn't this picture just make you want to go have one right now?

We've also gotten to spend lots of time in the pool at Mama and Pops/Cat and T's house. She loves her water wings and will just take off in them all by herself. She kicks her legs and just floats away. She gets so excited when I tell her we are going swimming! Her favorite thing, though, is getting in and out of the pool. She's in for 10 minutes and out for 5, in for 5 and out for 10. I call her my little "busy bee!"

18 Months Old

Annalee turned 18 months old last week! She has grown up so fast! She's running, jumping, talking and learning everyday. Sometimes the things she says and does just crack me up. She is so smart-it just amazes me! She is so special and we love her so so so much! Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks of my little angel!

Happy Fourth of July!

Corn on the Cob and Coloring

It wouldn't be summertime without some corn on the cob! This has become one of Annalee's favorite things to eat lately. I used to just let her have some bites off mine, but one night she said "whole thing" and pointed to my corn on the cob. So, I got brave and let her have the "whole thing" and she loved it! Since then, whenever we have it, Annalee gets her own corn on the cob!

Along with corn on the cob, Annalee's new favorite thing to do is to color! Which is great because I love to color too! We have this great big coloring book her Uncle Jeff and Aunt Amanda got her for her birthday and we lay it out on the floor with all the crayons and color together. Sometimes Chuck gets into it too! We colored him a picture today while he was at work. I can't believe my little girl is coloring already! It is really amazing how much she is growing each day!
