Lately with Annaliese.....


New Tricks from Annaliese
2007/08/16 - "I love peeling crayons."
2007/08/10 - Likes to pretend she's got a stethoscope and listens to your "heart bleeding". Kind of true! Also I love that she says "you welcome" and "stunk" for skunk and "betend" for pretend. Cute, cute, cute!
2007/08/10 - Her preschool teacher came by the house to meet her this week! I think she will love preschool and her new teacher!
2007/07/29 - The last few months Annaliese has been obsessed with getting married...specifically when daddy and mommy got married. She likes to look at our rings and look at pictures. She says, "remember I threw down the little bits when you got married?" I think she thinks she was a flower girl. Maybe she was.
2007/07/22 -Is quite the artist! Grandma taught her how to hold a pencil like the big girls do. She likes to be like the big girls.
2007/07/22 - Starting to show a little more independence....digging in her heals and testing her limits. Funny. She was screaming just to scream in the car and after asking her several times nicely to stop she kept on doing it. I asked her if we needed to have a time out. She said, "we can't have a time out in the car" . Good point, but it worked- she stopped screaming.
2007/07/22 - Had such a great time with all of her cousins (both sides). LOVED playing with them. Three days after the Texas Links left she asked..."Where are my cousins?"
2007/07/22 - Everyday lately I hear her say, "Okay mom, you pretend to be the dad, and I'll pretend to be the mom...this is Addie and this is Avrie (dolls)." We pretend. Very sweet.
2007/07/22 - "Don't worry daddy, I'll get you back to planet earth."
2007/06/26 - Told me today that Earth is the best planet in the solar system. Neptune is great too.
2007/06/26 - At her 3 year checkup (a little late) she weighed 34 lbs (50-75%) and was 40 inches (95%)! WOW!
2007/06/21 - Tonight she was pretending to be a blue muffle butterfly. Huh...anybody know what kind of butterfly that is. I know it's a cute one- probably blue.
2007/06/19 - Loves markers! Loves coloring all over her body....uh oh...(whew, washable markers really wash!) She was entertained for a couple hours mixing colors on the paper to make black. What an amazing discovery! Also learning to use scissors....not an easy task.
2007/06/18 - Starting to "get" humor. Will say something silly and laugh at herself!
2007/06/18 - Loves animals! We have a bunny in the backyard that she likes to leave carrots for! Always alerts us if one of the babies is getting too close to the bunny! Thanks sweetie!
Annaliese LOVES her doodle pad! Some recent works of art:



A dog.



A bat (or two).
