"Mama"

Anna is eight months old! We blinked and it happened. She is saying Mama. Although her first word was bye-bye and I am sure she does not even know the meaning of either word it is fun and sweet to hear her talking. She is working on Dadda.

This is Anna in mid talk.

Becoming a big fan of the doorway jumper.

Such a big adjustment from going to one kid to having two but such a bigger blessing to have our Anna Banana!

For kicks and giggles

This is my Bonne cat as I try and write my posts.



I think she thinks she is the higher priority, especially since the girls are taking a nap.

Aquarium Adventure

Despite the cold on Saturday, we ventured out to Atlanta and took the girls to the aquarium. It was insanely busy but we managed to let Bella out of the stroller(rare occasions due to her new hide and seek games and her determined independence) and get as close to the fish as possible.


Star fish friend.

Anna watching the fish too!

Couldn't leave without our souvenirs. Funny how the exit takes you straight through the gift shop!

Monkey Joe's and Woody's

Bella has developed a love for jump and play places. What kid would not though? It definitely took some confidence building. The first time we went she was around 10 months old and just cried. Now she jumps right in and plays. Although, within the first five minutes of our second attempt she had a bloody nose. Poor thing slid down a slide right into the face of another kid. It still did not stop her and she still loves to talk about how "kids hurt Bella's nose".

We celebrated cousin Jackson 4th birthday at Woody's Jump and Play in McDonough, GA

Bella played hard for over 3 hours! Anna took it all in relaxing in the stroller.

Bella fit right in with all the four year olds!
