Here are some photos of what has been going on over the past month or so. Mostly, we have been trying to enjoy time with our sweet girl before we become a family of four!
Art Day! We tend to enjoy coloring every day, so Mommy bought an "adult coloring book" so we can color together! On the upper right, Anna is "mess free finger painting". It was more satisfying for Mommy than AK, so it led to real painting of course. She had to wear her smock from Nanny, it is required for all messy activities!
Since Mommy can no longer help with most park activities, Anna Kate is getting quite bold and improving her coordination and courage at the playground. She has also started to become more friendly with other children, although it still usually takes a child who is a year or so older to initiate and hold the "friendship".
This is about as much trouble as this girl gets into while Mommy is busy with a chore. I came out from folding a load of laundry and she was snuggled up in her clean basket with lovey!
She is also really into puzzles! She can pretty much do this 24 piece Ariel puzzle on her own and is quite proud of herself!
Disney changed her perspective on dress up- these days it happens frequently!
See those black circles with lines? Flowers!
Safety first for Cinderella!
AK is a master helper in the kitchen. She enjoys measuring, pouring, and especially stirring. She is also a very willing taste tester!
More flower proof while we waited at the vet!
The dress up queen!
Going on a walk in the woods... this was very much inspired by Gigi and Ru cleaning up in the woods (THANK YOU!). It was also shortly followed by running out of the woods upon the realization that the deer lived there. She is weirdly afraid of deer.
A tea party! A birthday party! For Bear! And the cutest video ever....
Happy birthday to Bear.... Amen.
A visit to Discovery Place Kids... always trying something new- this time around, she both dressed as a mermaid and put some fluids into the play car. She is making sure to be well rounded.
