Annie gives Kisses!

Annie has a new little trick that we have just discovered within the past few days. She loves to give kisses to herself in the mirror! Ever since she was born we have always said "Give me kisses", so I think she now kinda understands what it means. If you tell her to give you kisses she usually with turn her head toward you and allow you to kiss her. But today we noticed that if we said "Give Kisses", she would kiss the mirror! It is really cute! Enjoy!

Also, Justin had his orientation today for the Fire Department. It was all day long, which kinda sucked because we were planning on going to the beach. But oh well. He came home with all these books and a list of things that we have to go buy for the academy. Call me stupid, but I don't understand why you need homework, books, and your button up shirt to line up with your belt buckle if you are putting out fires! I don't get it! But he was way excited that he got his little name tag. So I took a picture of him and his excitement!

Last but not least....Annie got her little head stuck in her flower today! Haha! I was doing the dishes and she started crying, when I came around the corner..I found her like this.....I am not really sure how she managed to get it stuck, but she did. Once I picked her up she was fine. She thought it was funny that it was on her head!

P.S. I am not one to usually take sad pictures of little Annie, but how could I resist this one!

The Pictures are in!!!

We took Annie to JCPenney's to get her first professional pictures taken. She had two wardrobe changes. Both spring dresses. We figured she would do pretty good because we have taken thousands of pictures of her since she was born and she has grown to like the camera. But we didn't count on her deciding that she didn't want to take a nap that day. So we went anyways, hoping for the best. Her great grandma Ya Ya entertained her before she went in. She was all smiles..but then once the camera started clicking....she was over it! Haha. But we still got some cute ones. Not to mention are very favorite one that we got in all sizes! Enjoy!

Favorite!!

Now, our scanner isn't working so I had to take pictures of the pictures so I could put them on here. So they are supposed to be bright like the ones above, but our camera makes them look yellowish.....but oh well you get the point!

These pictures are from this morning when I had her on the floor in my bathroom while I was getting ready. She found herself in the mirror and was actually giving herself kisses! It was the cutest thing ever!

Jazzercise!

Annie has her daily dance/exercise that we do. She loves music and right now my favorite is the new Danity Kane song. So I had her dance to it. Now usually she is all happy to dance and lets me move her arms and legs around, but today she was a little hungry. Plus she is teething so she couldn't keep her hands out of her mouth. But it was still cute! And she put up with it for me! Enjoy!

Aren't we a good looking family??!!

A whole lot of stuff!!!

Okay so this post is going to have a lot of pictures in it! Annie and I went to the beach last Thursday with my mother and Annie's Auntie La La! It was a lot of fun! We went shopping, nursery browsing, farmers market hunting, and lots and lots of eating! Annie sat up in a highchair at a restaurant for the first time! She loved it! She got all kinds of clothes and goodies. Auntie La La got her Michael's rooster pictures! My mom had a lot of kettle corn! And I gained at least 5 more pounds! What a day!!

This is Annie and I buying her first pair of real shoes! Not the little baby ones that are soft, but real ones to walk in. She isn't walking, and far from it, but I wanted to get her used to them so that when she does decide to walk, she wont kick them off! We got her some really cute clear sparkly jellies! I used to have them in every color when I was younger! And we also got her some little butterfly pink slip-ons!

Here she is sitting in a cart with her cart cover for the very first time! She just loves doing big girl stuff!

I have been waiting to give her a lemon to see her face. I finally let her try it..and......NOTHING! She just sucked and sucked on it and didn't make a face at all! Whats up with that?!!

Her jelly fell of in this one and that is why her little head is resting on the table, she was trying to find it! She is so aware!

This is her famous smile. Bottom gums only!

This is a video of Annie in the Nursery! I was showing her some flowers that I was going to buy and she loved them! She had a big smile on her face! And when I went down to tickle her, she starting laughing. Now she has only laughed out loud once, and that was months ago. She hasn't done it since! But she is a happy baby, she loves to smile. So we were all happy when she started laughing,but by the time my mom got her camera out, she was over it!

Easter Saturday?That's right, this year my family celebrated Easter on Saturday. That way my uncle could be there. He is working away for a few months...anyways...it was a lot of fun! We played all kinds of games......sack races (me and Justin won), spoon and egg races (we won again), cake walk around the pool (I won), and the very exciting Easter egg hunt! Which I won most eggs found and Justin won the grand prize for finding the special egg! Haha, and that was the only one he found!! So needless to say..the Carlson's know how to win! Also, Annie got her Easter basket from her my mom and dad. She got all kinds of stuff. Including four books with her name in the title! She loves hearing her name when I read them! Here are the pictures! Enjoy!She got a bubble blower in her basket and had fun watching the bubbles got by!

This is our spoon and egg race. You can totally see Justin and I winning. And yes, that is me screaming! I get excited during games!

P.S. I am aware that I wore the same shirt on Thursday and Saturday..I got over it, so you can too.....
