Annabelle Turns Two!

Annabelle Turned 2 on May 29th but I just got to posting some pics now! She had a blast, thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate!














on another note, most people know but just in case, Annabelle is also going to be a big sister this year, an event she seems to be looking forward to. I am due in October and the sex remains unknown. Annabelle loves to talk to the baby and play with her dolls to help us all get ready! She is going to be a great big sister. Hope everyone is well :)

Bathurst Girls

We enjoyed Connor's farm so much we went back with our favorite Bathurst Girls! It was a nice morning with our cousins. The girls get along so well, its fun watching them grow :) For those who dont know, Sofia is the oldest, her sister Audrey is the youngest and Annabelle is in the middle...Annabelle and Audrey are only 3 months apart though. Annabelle loves to play with both girls but can only say Audrey's name "Audra". We are up to about 50 or more words now...its amazing how fast her vocabulary has grown. Her favorite word is still "no" :) we will get passed that someday.

Fall Fun

We went to Connor's Farm in Danvers, Annabelle loved the mini maze and corn box.

Woah! Pumpkins bigger than me!

For those of you with an extra 2o minutes on your hands who want to see Annabelle's first year of life in pictures put to music...here's a link. We made it for her as a birthday gift that she will hopefully enjoy when she is older.

This is what happens when we miss our morning nap :)

bradley palmer state park

we had a great trip to Bradley Palmer State Park in Ipswich. Annabelle loved playing with her friend Jacob and really loved splashing in the water. She has proven to be a little beach bum this summer...she even crawled right into the ocean. Too bad the sand broke my camera that day so I havent been able to upload those pictures...good thing I have a back up so that we didnt miss out on these! Enjoy!

13 Months

It's been about a whole month since Annabelle's first birthday so better late than never...here are some pics! We have some awesome friends, one of them happens to be a photographer so we went up to my uncle Dave's place in Maine and took some great pictures. We took some nice family shots at the Dockside, in York where we got married... It was nice to go back and visit.

Annabelle loved her birthday party (thank you to everyone who came!) She devoured her cake and enjoyed playing with all of her cousins/friends. The pictures below are her in her party dress...we changed into pants fairly quickly since she cant move too much in a dress!


Finally....starting yesterday Annabelle WALKS, for the first time, today, she stood up in the middle of a room without holding on and started walking. She has taken steps here and there but she is officially walking more than crawling now! We are pretty pumped!

Hope you all are doing well....more pictures are to come soon, we went to Bradley Palmer State Park today and got some nice water shots.
