Happy Birthday Mama!

We got to surprising Mommy for her birthday
by meeting Gramma, Pas, Uncle Michael, and Aunt Ashley in Corning, NY
(sort of an Albany-Cleveland-Philadelphia midpoint)!

This is my creative play yard between beds in the hotel room!


Gramma, I think we look a tiny bit alike!


Dad, Mom, and I had a blast splashing around!

Here's a video!

I can say Ma-Ma!

Mom felt lucky to catch a video of me saying Ma-Ma
and I have been saying it since then all day long!

Here are some other cool ones of me being cute in the last few weeks!

Here I am playing and playing (this one was posted on Feb 13 too).
Here I am playing in the Colonie Center Mall play place!
Here I am having fun with Daddy and my reflection!
Here I am being a little chatter-box!
Here I am eating a yummy cookie and saying Da-Da!
Here I am reading my Christmas color book!

Just some funy pictures here of Dad's car imprint in the snow!
Check out the lisense plate!

Funny faces :)

My serious pose...

...and lots, lots more!

Valentine Blizzard!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today was a great day! Mom and Dad were both home to celebrate the day with me because of all the white stuff! It snowed about 20 inches here and in Saratoga Springs, where Mommy teaches, they got 30 inches! I had to get out and see what all the fuss was about!

Daddy did a good job dressing me in lots of layers for our snow adventure!

Playing and playing today!

It is fun to do so many new things! Watch me put a ring on the pole, laugh at the "excited" page in my book, point to pictures in my book, have fun with my school bus, and do "sooo big"! Just watch me!

Walking with my cart!

Here I am walking around with my cart - soon I won't even need the cart!

Photo albums sure are fun!

Mommy sure has a lot of pictures of this little baby!

Missing Daddy!

Here I am playing with my duckie and
showing Daddy how much I miss him! Video

I played hard today and now I am pooped! Froggy keeps me cozy!

I miss you Daddy!

Today I was eating my oatmeal with a spoon mostly by myself! Check it out!

Fun at the mall play place!

I did have lots of fun even though I am not smiling here!

My swing is still fun!

See how I like to point?

Sleigh Ride!

Today there was actually enough snow to go for a sled ride!

Daddy gave me a really fun ride! Watch and see!

Ring-a-ling-a-ling

When Mommy and Daddy are changing my diaper,
I love to answer my cell phone - Here's a video!

Anna is having fun playing with her balls, giraffe, cookies, Mom, and Dad!
Watch her sit up by herself, put the ball in the giraffe's head (it happens quickly),
and trying to juggle! Here's the video!

More cookie fun!

Bouncie Babies Class at the Library

Mommy and Daddy can't believe I am growing to be such a big girl!

I'm stylin'!

How about this crazy hair?!?!?

Eskimo Kisses

Here's a video of Mommy and me doing eskimo kisses!

Daddy loves giving me cookies!

...and I love making a mess!

Rockin'

Here is one little clip of me rocking and rocking in my exersaucer
... to the beat in my head ... there isn't any music on here...
Check out my boppin'!

Mommy's guessing

Mommy thinks I might be a leftie! What do you think? Here's a video.
One of my favorite words of the week is "Yee!" and I re-learned how to clap finally!

Here is a video of me crawling down the hallway in a few seconds;
pretty quick considering it took me minutes to do it a few months ago!

Ice Storm!

Mom, Dad, and I came out of hibernation today after we'd spent the last 3 or so days inside!

We had a big ice storm and I guess it hasn't all melted yet!

Check on this photo to see enlarged - the bushes look pretty cool!

Happy 13th Birthday Elizabeth!

Here I am zipping around doing the "big girl crawl"!

Some younger videos!

Here is Anna stomping her feet and clapping her hands!
(stomping~almost 4 mo, jumping~6 mo, and clapping~6.5 mo)
She used to clap back then, but doesn't any more!
Someday she will remember how again...

A new toy!

This is my walker toy from Aunt Cyndi, Michelle, and Angie.
Here I am playing with it for the first time, not so sure about it...cautiously curious.

I got comfortable very quickly...this is me just a few hours later!
I need a clip :~

Beep! Beep!

I love my new cell phone from the Pilumeli's!
Now it's my special toy for when I am up on the changing table,
so I will be still for Mommy and Daddy
... mostly it works!

Disney Games!

Grandma J is showing how to play a computer game and how to use a mouse!
It's fun popping the balloons!

Busy Day!

This morning we took Dad to the airport for work
and then we went to Grandpa Hardman's lovely funeral.
The singer was standing right next to me that I really enjoyed "Danny Boy"!
There was a nice lunch afterward and Bob Capka was playing with me.
He didn't even get mad when I (well Mom) knocked his pills everywhere.
I went with Gramma to cook and Fr. Tim was teaching me "Soooo Big!"
Tonight, Sara and Dan came over and I was cracking up
and then we went to the Wagner's to give Elizabeth her birthday present.

Here are more pics.

Then it was off to work - Your school is cool Gramma!

What other work do you have for me to do Gramma?

Happy New Year!

It's going to be a great year!

Thanks for showing me how the phone works Grandma!

I've got it now! Isn't my hair wild?!

Uncle Nick, Gramma, and Pas met us in Mentor
to celebrate the new year with a nice lunch :)

Here are some more photos.
