34th and 35th week

Ok...Im a little upset I missed a week. I dont like missing weeks because then I forget about little things I want to mention. I still forget things even when I write every week...for example the other day I remembered something Anna did in like week I think 31. My brother (uncle Adam) sent her a little stuffed husky. I was watching Anna as she was in her playpen and she amazed me at what she did next. She was on one side of her playpen and she has a mirror on the other side. She crawled over to the side with the mirror (towing the puppy). She then sat down in front of the mirror and held the doggy up to the mirror!!!! Then she talked a little. I really think she was showing the doggy itself in the mirror! i thought this was amazing for her age. If she was really doing what I percieved her to be doing! A couple days later I caught her in front of the mirror clapping and smiling.

Week 34...

Anna was a little sick this week. I think it was because the change in weather. She never got congested just had a runny nose. The temps went from the 20's to the high 60's. One day it was so pretty I took her for a walk out by the lake to the see the swans...she didnt seem to interested in them. I think because they were too far away.

Week 35



This was an exciting week for us. Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa Shoe and Aunt Carrie and Adyn came to visit. We were excited for everyone to visit but really excited because Daddy's visit was unexpected. Daddy said Anna has gotten so much bigger. He was amazed at how much she is talking and how she is crawling like crazy and loves to pull herself up! it was a great weekend. We had so much fun spending time with family.




Anna got sick this weekend. We took her to the doctor and she has an upper respiratory infection. She was given some meds and banned from daycare for a day.

Nana and Poppop sent Anna this toy. She loves it. She loves to spin the wheel thing in the middle!

33 weeks

Isnt that the most adorable smile! Well actually she was laughing at me! I love her laugh...it sends the warmest feeling thru my body.
Anna is doing great. 8 months have come and gone and it still seems like yesterday I was hearing her cry for the first time.
Im telling you little Ms. Anna keeps me busy. She has gotten in to routine of not wanting to fall asleep until 10 or 11 and by them I am trying my hardest to stay awake. She can usually play by herself for about 30 minutes but after that she wants "mommy time" which I love but it seems like I cant get enough done in that 30 minutes.
Anna is constantly pulling herself up on her baby gate. She hasnt pulled herself up on anything else but hasnt really been given the opportunity. She loves to stand and talk to me and will laugh when I talk back to her.
I swear she really thinks we are carrying on a conversation. I swear sometimes she is asking me a question. You know how someones voice changes when they ask a question...I cant think of the big word for it. But she sounds like that and then she looks at me like she wants a response. I think its so adorable.
