Anna: 8 months old!

Happy 8 months to  my sweet baby girl!  I am laughing as I type this because Anna's pictures this month are hilarious!  As I said on last month's post, Anna is very mobile and it's hard to get her to sit still for her photo shoots!  Anna does this face now that makes us laugh so hard - she scrunches up her little nose and gives us her gummy grin!  Funniest face and if you keep scorrling down, you will see what I mean.  

Just so you know, a #2 did not occur in the capturing of this photo!

She's trying so hard to give me a big smile!

Anna is not quite crawling yet, but she "swims" to get around!  I definitely have to keep an eye on her!  She says "mama" and "dada" - best sound in the whole world!  Also, as for which word she said first, well, let's just say it depends on who you ask =)  Anna is sitting up really well on her own and loves her bumbo seat!  She also loves her "chew toys" - a word I am used to saying having been a previous dog owner!  Anyway, as you can see from the above pic, she puts anything she can get her hands on in her mouth!  She also loves the texture of different things and likes to hold onto everything - especially her mom's iPhone and keys!  Anna is loving her fruits and veggies and like her mama, detests peas!  We are having fun experimenting with different foods and food combinations.  

I am currently putting the finishing touches to Anna's nursery, but will have pictures up soon! 

Anna's first Halloween!

Anna celebrated her first Halloween by dressing up as a ladybug!  And the cutest ladybug I have ever seen, I might add!  =)  She was so adorable and tolerated the costume pretty well!  We visited Grandma and Grandpa Anderson and Grandma and Grandpa Pike!  Anna got a new book from Grandma Anderson and a stuffed animal pumpkin from Grandma Pike (since she can't have candy yet)!  Here are some pics (I couldn't decide on one - she's just too cute)!
