Long Day

Today was a very LONG day! I had Parent/Teacher Conferences after school today. Annistyn stayed with Karen until I got to leave at 6:15. I'm so thankful Annistyn has decided she can stay up past 6:00 these days, so we were able to play for a little while before she went to bed. She was able to stay up until about 7:30.

This morning, Annistyn did not want to wake up. We have to leave the house around 7:20 in the mornings, so if Annistyn is not awake by 7:00 then I usually wake her up. This morning I went in her room, turned on the lights, and started making noises to try and get her to wake up. After about 15 minutes, I finally had to just get her up. This is what she looked like right before I finally had to pick her up!


We took this picture tonight while we were playing to text to Josh, who is working in Alabama again this week.


We miss you daddy!

Annistyn has several cute Christmas outfits that I'm so excited that she can finally start wearing. I ordered her a new pair of red shoes off ebay to wear with all her Christmas outfits.


Aren't they super cute? You can also change the bow out and put different ones on! Oh, and Annistyn's favorite part...they are squeaky shoes! She loves squeaky shoes, even though she can't walk yet. She loves to hang on to something and try to jump up and down to make the squeak. I'm sure when she starts walking I will be trying to figure out how to take the squeaker out!

They are calling for snow tonight! I don't think there is going to be any accumulation, but it is still exciting to hear the word snow in the forecast!

What's New?

It has been a crazy few weeks. Josh has been working in Alabama every week and coming home on the weekends. Annistyn and I both had the stomach virus...definitely not fun! There is nothing worse then seeing your baby sick and not being able to help! She was pitiful. Last week, Josh ended up staying home from work, because he had bronchitis. It was nice to have him home, but we just wish he wasn't sick. I think everyone in our house is now well!

We went to Cindy's to celebrate Thanksgiving with Josh's side of the family on Thursday. We went to Pet and Granddaddy's on Saturday to celebrate. We have definitely eaten plenty.

I think Annistyn's top teeth in the middle are finally starting to poke through! She has been a little fussy at night and putting everything in her mouth! For the most part, she is still a very happy girl!

I know, this has been the most random post, but here a some pictures from the last few weeks.

This is how Annistyn has decided to suck on her paci...upside down!


Here she is looking cute in her bib from her "Uncle" Justin.


It's rough being a baby!


Some nights when daddy is out of town, Annistyn and I stay at Grandmama's and Granddaddy's. The best part...Granddaddy's pancakes!


Annistyn has become a little mooch! She will be best friends with whomever has food. When that person's food runs out, she will go to the next person. Here she is taking some food from Pop-Pop!

11 Months

I can't believe that in one more month, Annistyn will be a year old! She is getting so big, so fast. It is getting harder and harder every month to take her picture with her sign saying how old she is. I don't think I got any pictures of her where the sign is showing completely. Here are a few of the pictures I did get.









Annistyn, this is what you are up to these days:

• You are wearing size 12 months clothes.
• You wear a size 3 diaper.
• You wear a size 3 shoe.
• You are crawling all over the place! You don't sit still very long at all.
• You have 4 teeth, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom. You have your middle 2 on the bottom, and the 2 beside the middle ones on the top.
• You can say Mommy, Daddy, bye bye, and a lot of other words that we just can't really tell what you're saying.
• You can pull up and take a few steps if someone is holding on to you.
• You LOVE to eat. You eat just about anything now.
• You weigh a little over 20 pounds.

You make us laugh so much. You think you are so funny. You laugh at yourself quite often. Your smile and laugh are the best!
