A & D

baking

Soren made this extra special cookie for Valentines day.

Goodnight Anneliese

getting bigger

Anneliesi had rice cereal for the first time today.

oh well

I guess we forgot to tell Soren that quarters are not food.

The emergency room gave us rubber gloves in order to search for the quarter for the next three days. Unforgettable. If we don't find it, we have to go back to the hospital.

entertainment

This is how we entertain Soren and Anneliese at the same time.

carrycot

Anneliese is in love with this carrycot bassinet that attaches to our stroller. We don't put it on the stroller anymore, and had thought we were done with it, but now it seems to be her favorite bed. I think she likes how small it is. Its snuggly. As you can see, she's going to outgrow it any day now.

big brother

Soren being a wonderful big brother, playing with his sister.

negotiating

In this picture Soren is trying to negotiate a treat (chocolate in this case) for eating his lunch. Things didn't work out for him.

new sweater

Thanks Aunt Astrid for the sweater. Anneliese looks great!

smiles

Happy New Year

changing table

Anneliese loves her changing table.  The moment we lay her down on it she starts smiling and kicking around.  Soren does a great job of entertaining her while we're getting her dressed.

Sophie the Giraffe

Anneliese's favorite teething toy

fuzzy hat

I love taking pictures of Anneliese in hats.  Could she be cuter?

visiting the Baird Farm

Anneliesi sat nicely with Bonnie while Soren played with a cool farm set and asked Bonnie repeatedly for cranberry juice and other snacks.

ornament

I love this ornament. Next year I might try to make one for my Christmas tree.

Cousin Bianca

I just like this picture :-)

my niece Chase

After seeing this picture you don't need me to say this, but I will anyway: Chase has beautiful eyes!
