Jan-March 2010

Well, it has once again been a sadly long time since I've updated. Rather than try to tell about all that has been going on, I'll just post a bunch of pictures and a few videos so that you can see how much Analise has grown. She is talking so much now and is getting interested in so many new things. Daniel and I are trying to get our guest bedroom ready to be Analise's new bedroom so that Baby Girl can have the nursery when she arrives.

Analise enjoyed the snow, but didn't quite have enough balance yet to really play in it.

Having Mommy and Daddy read books to her is Analise's favorite thing to do (second favorite is to go outside!) and she's starting to "read" to herself now.

This is how I found her after her nap one afternoon:

My daughter, the lush.

This is the rocking horse that my Papa built and my Gram painted for my mom when she was a little girl! Analise loves to sit and rock on it.

My birthday!! 32. Wow.

The more I look at her face in this picture, the more I laugh.

Playing "night-night" is one of Analise's favorite games.

Sporting her Mardi Gras beads!

More books.

Our new nephew/cousin, Ethan Gabriel Sewell. Born to Mike and Kristina on March 12.

Analise was so sweet and gentle with her cousin, wanting to give him lots of "ma" (kisses). Although, when Mommy had held him a little too long, she started saying "bye-bye baby!".
