Checking off those milestones

Evelyn finished her first year of preschool!

Here she is with her teacher, Mrs. Bohlmann.

Also, I think we officially have a toddler! Annalie is getting very sure footed. She still defaults to crawling quite a bit, but she's definitely on the way to walking full time.

12 months

Here's the final installment in the white onesie on the black and pink rug series. Good thing, because this girl has become too active for posed shots :)

At 12 months old, Annalie weighs 21 pounds, 1 ounce, and is 29.5" long. Her personality is really starting to shine! She loves peekaboo, waving hi and bye, and playing with her sister. She makes lots of funny faces, and sticks out her tongue. She's taken a couple of very cautious steps, but for now she prefers to crawl or cruise. She says mama, and she sort of says hi and bye bye :) Annalie loves feeding herself, and spending time outside. She still puts just about everything in her mouth--which makes outside time interesting... All of a sudden, she has decided that bath time is not torture (hopefully I didn't just jinx that).

We are excited to see what toddlerhood holds!

Big Birthday Post!

We had a very busy birthday week!

On her birthday morning, Annalie opened up a few gifts, and we spent the afternoon at the arboretum.

Annalie found an amazing rock.

First dip in the stream!

We had blueberry shortcake.... Annalie wasn't impressed.

On Monday evening Annalie developed a yucky respiratory bug. Luckily, we had her routine well check already scheduled for Tuesday morning. Unluckily, her doctor decided we needed a trip to the hospital :( Ironically, it was the one year anniversary of Annalie's surgery at Hinsdale... We are hoping this does not turn into an annual event!

After a few breathing treatments, Annalie was feeling much better! But as a precaution, we got to have a sleep over at the hospital anyway. We were sent home Wednesday afternoon with our very own nebulizer. Thankfully, we haven't needed it since, but we are glad to have it just in case--especially if it can help us avoid any other hospital stays.

On Saturday we celebrated one more time with the Grandparents, Auntie Maureen, and Hershey. Annalie wore one of her new outfits from Uncle Frank and Auntie Kirsten.
