Ain't Bad Being Annabelle

My Annabelle, what can I say about my Annabelle? She's two, all sass and imagination, and still insists on being referred to as "Apple". She hears everything, repeats everything, and KNOWS everything -- I thought that didn't happen until the teenager years?

She is such a little momma. Her greatest joys are babies and baby dolls. She is extremely nurturing and loving. She is such a protective big sister and I'm so proud of this little lady. Nobody messes with her GG Grace- NOBODY!

Her favorites songs are her "EFG's" (known as the ABC's to most), the Bumblebee song, Knick Knack Paddy Whack, and she sings "Itsy Bitsy Spider" for her sister. She loves to watch Dora which has taught her how to do the Mambo (hilarious - I have to get it on video!). Her recent obsession is baseball and she's a huge Rockies fan. Makes a dadda proud!

Let me explain these pictures -- YaYa bought Annabelle a Precious Moments when she was going through her 'duck phase' which has a little girl holding little yellow birds. They were close enough to ducks that they really pleased our girl. Annabelle adores this figurine and I never let her play with it, but tonight she asked if she could sit on the couch and hold it. She climbed right up on the couch and proudly sat there - even giving her "baby with birds" as it's lovingly referred to a kiss on the head. She loves it so much it had to have dinner with us. Not just dinner, but had to belted in to the booster seat. Oh my sassy girl, with a mind of her own! I couldn't be more proud.
