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!

sledding in vt

Greg and Soren heading down a hill at the golf course.  Soren was a little scared, but he made it.

visiting Joetta

We visiting Joetta today.  Soren has been asking us to visit her for months.  He's old enough now to walk her without being pulled onto the ground and dragged. She's doing so well with her new family though; she's sleeps on a king sized bed at night and goes on lots of walks on the farm where she can sniff stinky things.

Merry Christmas!

Anneliesi in her Christmas dress :-)

santa

This is the first year Soren was not afraid of Santa. I told Santa to keep Anneliese facing away from him, so she wouldn't see whose lap she was on. In the end, if she has Soren to entertain her, she's usually content. Our Santa visit went well!

a lot of snow

It snowed continually for almost two days. Anneliese seems to like the weather better than Soren, but maybe that's because she travels in a sleeping bag.

my girl is BIG

Anneliesi is growing quickly. She's long and her face/cheeks seem to have grown a lot in the past few weeks.

It snowed all day today so Soren and I did a little baking.

Anneliese likes to put everything in her mouth these days. Soren never did this.

doctor today

Anneliese went to the doctor today for her 4 month old visit. She's 26 inches and 14.5 pounds (75% for weight and 95% for height). She's not as big as Soren was, but she's still big.

Good Days
