Thanksgiving Break

This weekend we had the chance to travel up to Coeur d'Alene to spend Thanksgiving with family. Annie received plenty of attention from grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. She loved it all! In the picture below, Grandpa was balancing those rings on Annie's head. She would hold completely still... it was hilarious.

Annie loved spending time with her little Cousin Matthew and Aunt Katie. She misses them already :)

Quick run to Costco...

Went to Spokane on Saturday...

Spent some time at Nathan's favorite store, REI. Nathan and James were in heaven...

We are thinking about getting a hiking pack for Annie next summer... just trying it out. Annie loved it.

Wherever Annie was, Matthew followed... so sweet.

This picture was taken on the long car ride home. She did really well... slept most of the way and played the rest of the time. I'm so grateful for a good baby!

It was so nice to catch up and spend some time with family. Thanks for the DELICIOUS Thanksgiving dinner Cope family! We really appreciate all of your hospitality. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!

Keeping Warm!

When I put the sweatshirt on her she froze! She didn't know what to do! It was hilarious. She didn't start moving again until I took the sweatshirt off. I always wonder what she is thinking inside that head of hers...

Seven Months Old

Wow... Seven months old already?! We can't imagine life without her. Annie is such a joy to have. We love you Annie!

Annie's New Found Love...

The window sill!

She holds onto the ledge and looks out the window. It snowed tonight and was really dark outside, hence the closed blinds. Luckily, It will be bright and sunny for her to see the snow tomorrow.

Weekend with the de la Houssayes

This last weekend Megan, Bart, and Brexton came to visit! Annie LOVED spending time with Brexton. They immediately clicked and she could not get enough of him.

Putting their arms around each other...

Annie was constantly "attacking" Brexton. She would grab and pull at his ears, face, and shoulders. Brexton was a good sport.

Holding Hands...

Annie likes to cuddle... Brexton, on the other hand, would rather not :)

They would look at each other and just laugh. It was so funny.

It was so nice to spend some time with Megan. I wish she could live closer!

Thanks for coming de la Houssayes!! We miss you already!!

Lovely...

I asked Nathan to get Annie undressed and sit her up in her chair so that I could feed her. When I turned around, this is what I found...

The Numbers are in...

Today Annie had her six month old check up, even though she is now six and half months... Here are the numbers:

Weight: 20.6 pounds- 98th percentile

Height: 27.8 inches- 95th percentile

Head Circumference: 18 inches- 99th percentile

She is developing beautifully and actually increased quite a bit in her height. The doctor told her that she could be a model with how tall she is :) Despite the shots, we had a wonderful check up. She loved sitting on the paper and tearing it to shreds. By the time we were done with the appointment, it was all torn into pieces. Below is a picture of her beginning the attack on the paper....

This is the only picture I could get her to look at me... she was way to interested in what she was sitting on.
