Ms. Personality

Annabelle is SOOO full of personality! She makes me crack up all of the time! Even doing something as mundane as feeding her lunch, she finds a way to crack me up whether it's with her unique smile, crazy choke-sounding laugh, or getting a cheerio stuck on her face. Everywhere we go, she charms the pants off of everyone too. She already got lots of attention, but now that she's smiling, chattering, and waving... I have to add buffer time into my shopping just to accomodate her fans! :)

In addition to her A+ personality, Bellee's such a smartie! She's started signing for real now, and has unprompted signed fan, milk, more, and all done. She still doesn't do any of them every time, but she's getting closer and closer. Also, she can say "da-da", "kee-ka" (kitty cat), and "ack, ack" (quacking like her bath duck toy and her mini-stuffed ducky that both seem to have the same "quack" machine in them).

Belle is climbing all over EVERYTHING now! She doesn't let anything get in the way of what she wants. She's even started stepping over things when she's holding on to something, and is "cruising" on the furniture pretty darn fast. She's crawling super-fast now too! I think she got her Aunt Kelly's pitching arm 'cause she sure can throw too. Daddy taught her how to bounce a tennis ball, so now she's throwing her ball toys down and trying to make them bounce.

We're having to really watch everything on the floor now too... her pincher grip and mouth aim is right on (except for the occasional Cheerio that gets stuck on her cheek) so every little thing that she finds goes into her mouth. The other day, she found a dead roach and managed to get it into her mouth before my periphial vision caught it! I knocked the roach out of her mouth before she had a chance to chomp, but not fast enough to keep two of its legs from falling off in her mouth!!! I had to dig the two legs out while she squirmed and resisted. YUCK!

Well... enough bragging for now...

New pictures are up from Halloween day and just hanging out. :)

It's amazing how just watching them is entertainment!!! Who would have thought before they were born that you could find such joy in watching them eat, sleep, laugh and play.

I could watch Zach all day long! It only gets better as their little personalities develop and they start to become real people!
