46 Weeks!

I believe I have the most stubborn baby on the planet.  She can stand alone but chooses not too.  When she does stand she doesn't fall, she just gently bends her knees and sits down on her butt.  I don't know if it is more comforting to know she is able to do it if she wants or if that makes it that much more frustrating.  Annabelle is very good at humming tunes these days as well as dancing along to anything that remotely sounds like music.  She has picked up a lot of words and has the ability to say them.  She can even say two word "sentences", her favorite being "hey kate!"  My child believes that dog is the greatest being on this planet and will never fail to wave both of her arms off at her or to even speak to her through the windows. 
When we ride in the car on long trips she gets very upset if Kate is not in the back looking at her.  She likes to hold onto the divider and pet Kate even if it scares mom mom. 

Annie prefers to call her daddy dad day and I am mom mom.  She can say, Josh, Veronica(yes, I know it is amazing but she can say it), Jake Jake, Seth, Kate, Hey, Hi, Jen, Dave, backpack (yes amazing again), cat and a couple other things.  Annie must be in the mood to talk or she will just look at you like your silly if you ask her to repeat things and she doesn't want too.  The look of "mom, what are you talking about? I can't say that!"  She also will fake cough anytime anyone in a store coughs so I am sure all of Target thought our kid had the swine flu (she is very convicing) and laugh anytime she hears laughter.  All typical for a baby her age :)  She continues to be the happiest child on the planet and mom mom loves nothing more than to hear her laughing and giggling.  It is extremely adorable and makes me smile no matter what.  I rarely have moments where I do not feel well but if I am having a down moment that baby always changes it by just being here. It really is hard to be upset over anything with her around.  I can't honestly even remember the last time I was upset, my new attitude on life has made things very easy for me.  I think it was when my old yellow lab Klesko died or the time I had to take care of Kate alone while Jason was on a work trip, whichever of those came last.  Both happened during my pregnancey, okay I guess I'm completed excluding my short experience with baby blues, but that is for another time and is perfectly normal.

Our precious child is only 43 days away from being a year old.  The new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog comes out on her birthday.  If she is showing any interest in all in tv by then I plan to take her to see it.  As of now she doesn't really care for anything on television except for sports.  I guess that is a good sign but sometimes I'd really enjoy just to sit on the couch holding her while we watching a movie or something. 

Annie & dadday are on their way to becoming inseperable which makes me realize that one day she will be 100% daddy's girl.  If it were not for being a breast feed baby she would probably already be there.  That is just something that dadday can not do for her :)
