Playing in my new playroom

We got back in our house this weekend and now just trying to get it all back together, organized and clean! I hate a mess so I have been about to go crazy with everything, everywhere. I really don't know how some people move all the time. I couldn't do it! We made lots of progress over the weekend and my parents were nice enough to come and help. Because I have been so busy, its left little play time with Anna Riley so today we made time to play together for a little while. She squeals everytime she goes in the playroom so I think that is a good sign that she likes it! :) We aren't completely finished setting it up but she has had so much fun already!

Uh Oh

While in Fairhope, Anna Riley also learned to climb the stairs. We laughed because she has never really noticed them until this trip and she crawled to them and stood up and looked to the top and said "Uh Oh!" After a few minutes of stepping up and down from the first step she finally figured it out and then she was off! It is amazing to see their little minds turn as they try to figure something out!

Scrub a Dub--AR finally decided to get in the big tub!

We bought Anna Riley the blow up duck tub when she had outgrown the hard plastic one but was still not really ready for the big tub. Well, she loved it! Loved it so much that she has really outgrown it and still wants a bath in it! I think she just feels secure in it because she crawls all over it and really uses it as a big pillow. We had tried putting her in the bathtub a few times and she just cried and wanted out which is so unusual so we just let her stay in the duck. Well, while in Fairhope (after Christmas), she finally got in the big tub and the one down there is a garden tub so it really was a big tub and this time she actually liked it!

 

Happy New Year!

   Well, 2010 was quite a year with lots of changes...some were good and some just weren't.  We were blessed with Anna Riley in February of this year.  And she truly has been a blessing!  But, we also had to say goodbye to someone very special in August.  So I think it is safe to say that 2010 was the year for adjustments.  As always, I hope that 2011 will bring lots of joy and happiness!
    My new years resolution or goal is to just be an all around better person:  gossip less, pray more, be more giving, positive attitude, have more patience,  be healthier.  Not to say that I am not or have not been trying to be this way, but I think it is a great goal to have all the time.
