It's Beginning to Look A Lot

Like Christmas!! Anna Claire recieved her first $50 bill a few weeks ago from Aunt Patti and Uncle Jim. I've been meaning to get a picture of her with it, but I have to DIG it out of her Piggy Bank. Thank you Aunt Patti and Uncle Jim!!!

We started making our Christmas rounds this past Saturday (the 15th). We had Christmas with Kerry's Mother's side of the family. It was fun and Anna Claire loved the presents. She wanted everything out of the pacakages ASAP!! We did manage to get hom w/ 2 still in the box. Here are some pictures of her w/ her gifts once we got home. The train was still in the box, but everything else was out. The train was out before the night was over.

Well....

First things first, I PROMISE I'm going to send out Christmas cards!! The Photographer told me Monday that they are ready to be picked up, but I haven't made it to Murfreesboro to get them and she hasn't made it to Shelbyville to deliver them to me. If I don't have them by this Saturday I'm going to pick them up on our way through Murfreesboro. I'll address them and have them in the mail by Monday the 17th!!
Anna Claire attended her first Christmas parade on the 8th. The weather was nice for December, so we went. I cried when the parade got to us and Kerry looked at me like I had lost my mind. It was her first parade and I know she will not remember it, but I will. I cried again when the Fire trucks came through in the parade bc Uncle Josh was riding in one of them and was hollaring out the window for Anna Claire. It was so sweet!!

Here is a picture of her and Fallon waiting for the parade to get to us.

Here is one of my favorite pictures here recently. This shows her personality and how silly she is.

She had just eaten a bitter biscuit, squash, and was in the process of eating some dessert. Excuse the mess!! I let her have control of the bitter biscuit, so it was EVERYWHERE!!

Milestones! Milestones!

Anna Claire seems to learn something new daily now. She has mastered crawling. I do have a few videos that I will try to post at some point. Of course they are of her on the kitchen floor bc I think Daddy enjoyed watching her struggle on the slick floor. LOL!! I haven't heard Da Da very much since about 2 weeks ago, but I have heard Ma Ma for the past 3 DAYS!!!! I'll try to getting a voice recording of one of the two this weekend. She loves the Christmas lights. We finished putting the lights outside Saturday, or I finished them. I worked on them from about 9:00am until 6:30pm Saturday. I was so exhausted, but when Anna Claire came outside she was so excited that it made the long hard work totally worth it. She has been under the tree more than once and Kerry finally just pulled her present out bc she kept going in after it. You cannot turn away for a minute anymore. Kerry lost her the other day and found her in the bathroom. She is the best gift we could have ever been given!!

The pictures are ready to view: www.pictage.com
Look for Christmas cards soon. I haven't gotten them yet, but they are ordered and just gorgeous of course!! ; )

Anna Claire's best friend Brylee Taite arrived at 3:40pm on 12/3/07!!


Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Momma has a picture somewhere of me when I was little with a piece of the plastic play money on my mouth. I'm going to try to find it and post it bc Anna Claire and I look just a like in these pictures. (Aunt Patti - you don't happen to have a copy of it, do you?)

I Forgot!!!

About 2 weeks ago after I got off of work I went over to Momma's to get Anna Claire. When we got home she was sitting on the couch with Daddy and I. For 30 minutes all I heard was Da Da Da Da Da Da Da!! I kept looking at Kerry and he was grinning ear to ear!! I WAS not. I called Momma and told her that I had heard Da Da for the past 30 minutes and Momma was like, "yeah I've heard it all day." We were disappointed bc everyone has worked so hard on Ma Ma, but never the less, Kerry was extatic!! So there you have it, Anna Claire's first words were Da Da!!

~Whatever!!~ LOL!!

We've Got Movement!!

Anna Claire has been attempting to crawl for the past few days. Today she mastered it. It's not the perfect crawl, yet. She gets up on her knees makes a move, then pushes her butt up in the air. Repeat this about 20 times and you can travel about 10 feet. She crawled from the Christmas tree to the kitchen this evening. We were playing on the couch after this and I sat her in the floor to play with her toys. She got on her belly, crawled back to the couch, and grabbed the cushion. I couldn't not pick her up!! I would love to show everyone, but my cell phone only takes a 16 second video and her crawling is a very long process. LOL!!



She also learned this week how to hold her own bottle. She always holds it for her Daddy, but if I'm feeding her, then she usually makes me hold it for her.

And if anyone has been wondering......
Anna Claire is such a MOMMY'S GIRL!!
I'm proud, if you can't already tell.

Anna Claire's new best friend should be here sometime Monday. My friend Misty is going in to be induced Sunday night at 8:00pm. I am so excited!!

Since I have no video of her crawling, I'll post a few of my favorite pictures that I took of her this week.
