New Room...almost done!

Annabelle's "big-girl" room is almost done!! Last night she *finally* slept through the night...from 9pm-5:45am, then back asleep til 7:15am!! Whoo hoooo. Hopefully this will keep up!

Here are some photos of the room!

Playing with her new favorite...alphabet books..

Her dad dressed her today! We REALLY need spring/summer to get here quickly...we have outgrown our cold-weather clothes and think it's silly to purchase anything new since we have a fully stocked spring/summer wardrobe....she's looked a little homeless for the last few weeks!

xoxoxo

Even though we have colds, we still have fun!

Our colds are sloooowly going away...Adam sneezed twice last night, hope we didn't pass it onto him..... Well, we've been cooped up a bit with all of the rain, and too gross to go out in public so we've made our own fun indoors!

Yesterday Annabelle wanted bunnies....the whole bag of them. Notice the giant pile on the carpet...

Since we had a bit of Cabin Fever, we went and visited Adam at work. Annabelle had a blast playing in the training room, then we all took a dip in the pool. What a life this little girl has....

showing off her moves

taking a break

break's over...back to work

she can be very productive...I think she deserves a raise

swimming! Annabelle had a blast. We'll have to keep this in mind for the bitter cold of winter! The hot tub afterwords was extremely relaxing....hard to explain to an 19 month old that she can't go in!!

When Adam threw our towels in the wash...this was just sitting in a corner on a desk next to a sewing machine and laminator.... just Albert's Gold Glove award...that's all......

Up next....pictures of Annabelle's *finished* big-girl room!!

My oh my...

Well, it's been an eventful few weeks...all hours of the day! Our little lady has turned into a super hero who doesn't need sleep....We're going on week 3 (I believe). The poor thing has a cold now as well...so please, wish us luck!!

Here are a bunch of photos from the last few weeks!

So it's officially time to leave Florida, and we had a wonderful last week! Gammy came to visit and her and Annabelle spent tons of time together while Adam and I got some much needed time out!

Annabelle learned a lot from Gammy....but most impressive (I think) is S-T-O-P 'Stop' She says each letter than the word when she sees a stop sign. This morning, even through the awful cold and fever (Annabelle got sick yesterday) as I was changing her diaper she looked at my shirt which says HOUSTON in bold letters, and said "S T O " Stop.... I thought it was pretty cool that she recognized the letters out of context!

There are no pictures at the moment, she is not in prime photo shape with this horrendous cold.... My fingers are crossed that she feels better for tomorrow's plane ride....

that's all!

xoxoxo

One Week Left...

We have definitely soaked up every bit of fun, sun and sand while we've been here! As beautiful as Florida is, we are ALL looking forward to getting back home and enjoying Spring in St Louis!

Here are a bunch of random pictures from the last week or so....

Hanging out in one of the onesies Aunt Tami sent!!

At the beach

Chillin in the sand

One of our early morning walks on the beach with Bailey.

I think these are my favorite times with Annabelle in FL!

She loves climbing the sand walls

and walking down the shoreline

Playing in the backyard sorting shells in her wagon

Marley and Annabelle at DuBois

They're pretty cute!

So, after DuBois I was changing Annabelle and had forgotten a change of clothes....Alison had extra clothes for Norah in the back so Annabelle ended up in a 0-3 month outfit that she had passed down to Norah.....0-3 months and it still fit....haha

posing!

banana daiquiris for Adam and I....don't mind if I do!

Last night Annabelle and I went on a date since Adam had a work dinner. We went to Downtown at the Gardens, rode the carousel, played at Latte-Fun (indoor play park) had dinner at Whole Foods, walked around, watched live music then had frozen yogurt....it was SO fun. She must have had a great night because I had to wake her up at 9:45am today....!!!

frozen yogurt!
