While our 10 month is still hammin' it up for the camera, our 2 year and 10 month old is not yet practicing for the red carpet:
Although we catch few smiles on film, Anna does spend much of her time with a big smile on her face. Besides playing store and giving Abby tubs, this month Anna has been busy doing a lot of artwork with glue, riding her tricycle, playing soccer, reading books, dancing, playing with her baby dolls, and hosting birthday parties. Some of her latest artwork can be seen behind the birthday cake picture from Daddy's party. Her gluing project began by gluing shapes I cut out to paper. Then one day she took it 3 dimensional - she starting folding the shapes so they stood off the paper and finally folding the paper around her 3-D shapes. The final product is "secret" because the paper is folded around it.
We've had some warm enough weather to be outside a bunch this month and Anna has enjoyed riding her tricycle and playing soccer. Sometimes she combines the two by giving the ball a big kick and riding the tricycle to get it. Recently she starred in a solo soccer game at our local high school. (She requested that Daddy go into the stands and cheer for her while she ran around the empty field with the ball.)
Anna still likes Curious George and Berenstain Bears books. She's runs right to the shelf where they are located upon arriving at the library (sound familiar, Uncle Dan?) She's also been enjoying Berenstain Bears and a few other new shows on the TV (besides Curious George Sesame Street, and Dora which were the only shows she watched for a long time).
Anna has had a greater interest in her baby dolls recently. She's just learning to put some of their clothes on and off herself. She also likes to take them for stroller rides and rock them to sleep. Once they are sleeping she tells Abby and I to try to be a little quieter and tells us not to go upstairs.
Anna is always trying to figure out cause and effect now and why different things happen the way they do. Yesterday I was going to blow up some balloons for Anna that were left over from Daddy's party. I had trouble getting the first one started. I said I didn't know if I could do it and she said, "Are you an adult?" Apparently Daddy had told her that only adults could blow up balloons. Ha - I guess adults except for Mommy.

A surprise shot:
Ha- "are you an adult?" I love it:) So cute. Happy weekend!
