Christmas Morning Pics
Anna was so excited Christmas morning to see her present from Nana and Granddad…
A table and chair set just for her! Isn’t it the cutest thing?

Santa & Mrs. Claus
Anna and I went to “open house” at the library this evening. They had crafts, cookies, and pictures with the Clauses. There was no way Anna was going to let some strange person hold her, so I got to be in it too. :)

She never ceases to amaze me
I’ve been taking Anna to the toddler story time at the library for several months now. She knows the rhymes and songs and motions very well now. We do them some at home, too. Last night, we were doing a few in her room, and she decided to get her little baby doll and make the doll do everything she would usually do! She was flying her in the air during the Mother Goose rhyme, just like I would fly Anna in the air. She was pointing to her eyes, ears, nose and mouth during the body rhymes, just like I would do with Anna. She even made the doll clap after each little song, just like she does. Everything I do with Anna, Anna was doing with the doll. It was so cool! She’s been doing things like feeding the baby with a bottle or sippy cup for a while, but this is the first time I’ve seen her make the doll represent herself this strongly. Pretty neat!

Trip Part 3: Nana and Granddad’s house, finally!
David’s parents were so excited to have Anna out at their house in Boulder! They secured a crib, high chair, and some other necessities (and a few not-so-necessities) and had a little room set up for Anna.

Trip Part 1: Galavanting About Denver
We just took a trip! With a 19-month-old! I know people do it all the time, but we were pretty hesitant to undergo either a car trip or a plane ride with a toddler. But David had a conference in Denver last Thursday-Friday, and since his parents live in Boulder, we thought it would be a good opportunity (while his plane ticket was paid for) for me and Anna to tag along and extend the trip through the weekend so Anna could finally see her Nana and Granddad’s home.
I fully intended to get a picture of Anna on her first plane ride, but it just didn’t happen. She was quite a handful on the ride out, but we managed to keep her entertained and avoid a complete meltdown. All of us were glad to be off that plane. Fortunately, we had sprung for the direct flight. After that flight, we marveled at how we had originally debated whether or not it was worth the extra cost. It was.
So while David was cooped up in a hotel conference room, Anna and I were out enjoying Denver during what was probably some of the best weather they’ve ever had this time of year. (more…)
