36 Months Today

Anna Claire, you are 36 months old today. It's hard to believe that you are officially 2 and 1/2 years old. You have brought so much joy to everyone's life and I truly believe that you keep your Great Granny going everyday bc you love her so much. Here is what you are up to these days.

1. You can say your ABC's
2. You can count to 11 without missing a number
3. You LOVE to sing (and I love to hear you sing the Wonder Pets song)
4. Your favorite songs are ABC's, Twinkle Little Star, and Row Your Boat
5. Your cry when you don't get to hang out with you Great Granny everyday and it thrills her to see you every day.
6. You weigh 31.5 pounds and are over 38 inches tall.
7. You only use the big girl potty when you want too (even though you know what to do).
8. You rarely meet a stranger.
9. You LOVE all animals.
10. You are very polite (most of the time) and people even comment on how polite you are.
11. You wear the words Mommy, Momma, and Mudder out. You find it very entertaining to sit in a different room and holler for me to see how many times I will say "what?" I actually changed my name to Banana yesterday, but you caught on to that quickly, now on top of all the Mom names you also holler Banana.
12. You are very bossy (Your Daddy says you get that honest, but what does he know).
13. You go to gymnastics every Thursday and love it.
14. You started being able to do a flip by yourself last week and have almost given me more than one heart attack bc you keep trying to flip on the hardwood floors.
15. You are FULL of personality

We could not have asked for a better blessing. We feel honored and blessed that God chose us as your parents. We love you more than you could ever imagine.
You picked out this costume on your own to wear for Halloween.

The Weekend.........

Friday I took the morning off to go to the Pumpkin Patch with Anna Claire, MeMe, and some of the other children and parents from Barnyard. We went to the Pumpkin Patch last year, but I will say it was worth it to go with Barnyard this year bc when you go with a class you get to feed and touch the animals, which Anna Claire LOVED!! Saturday Kerry and I had to go to a funeral in Nashville, so we left Anna Claire with her Grammy and Elise. They took her to a Fall Festival, got her sugared up, and then sent her back home. LOL!! She had a great time with them and wasn't quiet ready to leave when we went to pick her up, but she finally gave in. Bless her heart she was a trooper Saturday. We left the house at 8:30am and didn't get back home until almost 10:00pm. She had a 10 minute nap all day and that was in the car leaving Grammy's and going to Kerry's Grandparents house. She fell asleep about the time we got back in to town, but she was PERFECT!! We spent 2 hours at Kerry's Grandparents and no one could believe that she had not had a nap all day. I am a very proud and blessed Momma!!

Here she is trying to figure out how she is going to get in there with the chickens.

Waiting patiently for her turn to feed the calf

She LOVES animals!! These are from the Fall Festival in Nashville that she went to.
Anna Claire and Elise bouncing around.

Her bag of candy on top of cotton candy and cupcakes
Coloring her shirt with Elise And these are the 2 newest additions to our back deck. Papa carved Anna Claire a pumpkin and gave it to her at Church yesterday. {I think Anna Claire is just an excuse for Papa to carve pumpkins again. LOL} Anna Claire conned Hot Dog Diggity Dog aka Mickey Mouse out of Grammy on Saturday. She talked about him all the way home. She kept telling me that Hot Dog Diggity Dog was in the back of the car asleep. You gotta love her!!

Just Because............

This post will be random bc it's been a few weeks since I've posted. I'm still waiting on an answer from Cover Kids about Anna Claire's insurance. They told me I could call and check on it the 9th. (They got my fax on 9/21) I did finally break down yesterday and call the Dr's office. Lynette was able to see Anna Claire and I at the same time, so that was great. Anna Claire has an ear infection and upper respiratory mess and I have a double ear infection. I got a shot, which Anna Claire got very upset about bc she wanted a shot first, and an antibiotic. Anna Claire got an antibiotic and cough syrup. Hopefully we are both on the mend for now. I've got a cute video of Anna Claire saying her ABC's that I will try to post here, but for some reason I have a hard time getting the sound to work on the blog, so it may have to go to facebook.

We have a busy few weeks ahead. Friday Barnyard goes to the Pumpkin Patch, Saturday a birthday party in Smyrna that we may or may not make, Sunday church and Granddaddy's birthday in Nashville. Halloween party on the 24th and Halloween on the 31st. We may or may not make an appearance at the Webb School Arts and Crafts Festival. = )







This is Joey the Snake. Anna Claire named him Joey, don't ask me why bc I have no idea. Big Daddy bought Joey for Anna Claire at at Gulf World while we were in Florida. Out of all the stuffed animals in the store, Anna Claire wanted a "sneek" as she called it. {Yes he is as big as he looks and sometimes he sleeps in the bed with us. Nice!!}

This was my attempt to take a picture of a sleeping 2yr old. You see she was messing with me and was not asleep. After I took her picture she asked, "Mommy you take picture with me?" Which explains the picture below. = )

This is Kerry's reason for getting out of bed in the month of October every year. LOL!! It is only October 7th and I have already bought 7 boxes of Boo Berry's. {Seriously!!}



I tried to put the ABC video of Anna Claire up, but you couldn't hear it. My phone does 3G2 videos and for some reason blogger has issues uploading the sound on them. Sorry!!

I forgot to add that Anna Claire poopied on the potty Saturday. I won't share the picture, but I did take one and sent it to her MeMe, Big Daddy, and Daddy bc they were not at home. LOL!! It hasn't happened since then, but hey a Momma can dream.
