“Oh, Man!”
I hate to say it, but it’s entirely possible that Anna has watched one too many episodes of Dora. After puzzling it over for a while, I’m pretty sure that what she’s been going around all morning saying is, “Oh, Man!” And the only time she would have ever heard that phrase would have been [...]

18 month well-baby visit
Vital stats:
18 months, 6 days old
24 lbs. 14.5 oz.
32″ tall
Anna had her 18 month visit today. She’s still pretty much right in the middle of the growth charts for height and weight. The pediatrician was impressed with her vocabulary and how tolerant she was about being examined. She only needed one shot today, and only [...]

Sledding
So, if the sled is for ages 6+, and there’s a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old sitting on it, that’s OK, right? (Don’t bother reporting me, there was maybe an inch of snow and no hill - not much danger there.)
Oh! And this was taken with my second attempt at a new [...]

First Haircut
I love Anna’s hair, but she was sporting a little baby mullet because she never lost all of her original hair in the back, it’s just been growing non-stop since she was born. There were long bits that when wet and straight would hang halfway down her back, but only a few curls were long [...]

Eighteen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are eighteen months old. That’s a year and a half - we’re halfway to two already since your birthday, which doesn’t seem like it was all that long ago! You have 10 teeth now: two of your molars have poked through. Hey, if you get a couple more teeth in soon I [...]

Seventeen Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are seventeen months old. Another month before you are officially one and a half! You’ve gained one of your top molars to bring your total number of teeth to nine, and you’re just on the verge of outgrowing a lot of your 12-18 month clothes.
What else is new this month? You have [...]

More Snow, and Dance Observation Day
Anna is possibly warming up to the snow? At least, she does love her little pink boots!
It’s also my observation that Carolyn has improved leaps and bounds in her dance abilities since last year. I was very, very impressed with how much she’s learned this fall!

Breakfast with Santa
We went to church this morning, and then to the pancake breakfast with Santa after.
This Santa was slightly less intimidating to Anna, although that might have been because this time I sat down with her.
Carrie was so excited to get to see Santa again that she sat on his lap twice - once before and [...]

Santa Visit
I took the girls to see Santa today. Luckily, Denis met us at the mall after work and we all went together. Yep, that was pretty lucky. Because while Carrie was more than happy to climb right up on that red velvet-covered knee:
Anna wanted absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Claus.
That’s right. Not even with [...]

Snow!
There was a smattering of snow on the ground when we went out to wait for the bus this morning. Carrie was thrilled, running through the front yard in her sneakers (remind me to buy her some new boots soon!) and picking up the very packable snow to throw everywhere.
Anna’s not so sure about this [...]
