Snow, Snow Baby!

We have been quarantined in the house because of the six inches of snow and we have made the most of it! My grandfather gave us a sled and we took it out to the hill on the side of our house. I would like to say Anara loved it but... she seemed afraid of the snow. She froze. Literally! We put her on the sled and she didn't move. It was so cute. When I moved the sled she finally moved a little, only enough to smile though! She didn't move anything else, just her lips!

I love this picture of her and her daddy.

This is a picture of the only real movement we got from her. A smile!

"What in the world is going on?" Says Anara? She looks so pudgy with all of her
thousands of layers of clothes that I made her wear!

Photo Shoot!

Our little girl is a little model! We had a photo shoot this evening and she loved it! The weather has us cooped up in the house and so we were looking for fun things to do. A photo shoot was exactly what we needed! Here are pictures of Anara in her new outfit that her Mimi and Papa sent her. Too cute!!!

Weird, Wacky and Wild!

So I am just always amused when I go check on my sleeping baby and see what weird position she is sleeping in. Her new one is to sleep with her butt against the side and her legs straight up in the air propped up on the sides of the crib. Haven't managed to get a picture of that one yet but we did get a picture of her sleeping on her side in what looks like a very uncomfortable position. It is hard to tell but she is semi propped up and her booty is up in air.




Part of me is very proud that my daughter is starting to have enough hair that it can be wacky and wild after taking a bath but I would still like more hair so people would stop calling her a boy! We just had to get a picture of this lovely hairdo. I was tempted to let it dry like this but I decided not to! : )

We Love Our Family!

Anara was so excited because her cousin Grace came up to Tulsa to visit! Grace is 10 months older and Anara was just fascinated with everything that Grace did. It was really cute. Grace would do something and then Anara would try to do it. We were able to get some really cute pictures of Anara and Grace together. It was WAY past Anara's bedtime but she was just having too much fun!


They had a lot of fun on Anara's slide but we weren't able to get a good picture of the two of them together on it.

Toys, Toys and More Toys!

Anara received a new play gym for Christmas from her Granny and Papaw. She loves it and we were able to take some pictures of her on it!

She says "weee" every time she goes down the slide!

She loves spinning the Captain's Wheel!

Peek-a-boo

She loves to swing!

Nothing better than holding a bear while you swing!
Especially if it is a Purdue Bear! She certainly loves her Aunt Nonnie!

My Litte Movie Star!

Anara has these sunglasses that she loves to wear and especially loves for us to wear. (I will spare you any pictures of that!) She just looks like a little Diva with them on. I LOVE it! (As long as she doesn't start behaving like a little diva!)

"Check Me Out!"

She was telling us her list of demands.

Just check out those blue eyes!

"It is so hard being a movie star!"

"I am done with this!"

Just for Aunt Nonnie!

This post is just for Aunt Nonnie! Anara was so excited about seeing you for Christmas that she wanted to wear her Purdue outfit for when you arrived. She was very sad when you weren't able to come because of the weather but wanted to show you just how cute she looked in her Purdue gear! (And Will, you better not say she looks like a boy!)

And....

A new video of Anara on her rocking horse.

Dreaming of a White Christmas!

I was so upset because the DFW area had gotten snow twice and Tulsa hadn't gotten anything. I am definitely not sad anymore! It started snowing Christmas Eve at around 4:00 and didn't stop until 2:00am. We had about 6 inches of snow. It was great....except for it kept Mom, Connie and Will from being able to come for Christmas. Missed y'all! It is now Jan 2 and we still have a lot of the snow!

We took Anara out in the snow and she wasn't too sure what was going on. She did her typical clam up and glare at everything when she is faced with new things. We had fun taking pictures of her though!

Little Bit was very confused by the white stuff!

Anara trying to figure out what in the world was going on!

An awesome action shot of Little Bit! If you are wondering, Minnie is
tucked away in the house. She wanted nothing to do with
the cold and the snow!

"What is this mom? I am not sure I like it!"

Outsmarting Us!

Well....our 16 month old daughter has started outsmarting us! She really wants to be able to open doors but just isn't tall enough yet. I found her the other day in our laundry room where she had dragged a stool that I had on the other side of the room over to the garage door and she was turning the handle! She wasn't able to open the door because they are too heavy and her trusty stool was in the way but she sure was trying!!!

Uh-oh! She was caught!
