Happy 6 Months Anna Kate

I cannot believe that Anna Kate is 6 months old today! On one hand, it seems like we were just finding out that we were pregnant.  But then on the other hand, I can't remember what life was like without her!

These past few months her personality has really come out!  We have learned that we have an independent child, just like the both of us!  She thinks she's a grown up already.  She likes holding her own bottle, thinks she can feed herself, and wants to be in the middle of everything!  And she thinks it's SOO funny when she sticks her tongue out and blows raspberries! (see picture below)

Her favorite toys so far is her lion (Leroy), her "rings", phones, and the remote control! She LOVES seeing it light up!  And we don't go anywhere without her paci and Ginger (her giraffe blanket).  She gets so excited when she sees Ginger, and she loves sucking on her antlers and ears.  I picked it up by the antler one day and slobber just oozed out!  I need to get a video of her reaction when she sees Ginger.  She starts laughing, kicks her legs, and reaches out to grab her.  The she presses Ginger into her open mouth for what I guess are kisses (more like open mouth licks)!

We're eating Green Beans, Squash, Bananas, and Sweet Potatoes.  She LOVES bananas! I can't feed them to her fast enough.  And she loves her juice.  She gets a little juice after her meal in a bottle.  She'll take the bottle, drink a little, then put it down and laugh!  She gets so excited about it! And our newest accomplishment - we are sitting up!  Not for huge periods of time, but we're getting better everyday!

We have been having such a great time and I can't wait to see what the future holds for this little girl.  I know it will be great things!  Hope everyone has a great week, I know we will!

A Sad Night

It was a sad night in Starkville tonight... and at our house too!  Jake taped the game so we wouldn't miss it while we ate supper.  Afterwards, Jake cleaned up while Anna Kate got geared up for the game!  Jake gave her a big pep talk about her college future.  It seems Daddy's alma mater will be Anna Kate's future alma mater.  No matter that she's only 5 months old. (By the way, she'll be 6 months this upcoming Tuesday- so exciting!!)  Here are a few pictures of Daddy and Daughter. 

Never too early to learn to use a cowbell! Daddy was SO proud!

All ready to watch the Bulldogs play!

Gettin' comfy! It's gonna be a long night!

Had to get a bloomer shot.

Not a happy ending!

No matter how loud or hard we cheered, we couldn't cheer our Bulldogs to victory.  We even made up some cheers, but it still didn't work.  I think Anna Kate may have a future as a cheerleader!  She loved it when we'd bounce her up and down and wave her hands!  I was so impressed though.  She stayed awake through the whole game and was a great sport.  We're talking about taking her to a real game sometime when it cools off some.

Oh, and to our friend Taylor, we looked for you everytime they showed a crowd shot but we couldn't find you!  Maybe next time.

A New Computer!!

I can't tell you how excited I am! We FINALLY got a new computer around here!! Compared to the other two computers we have been trying to use, we have really come up in the world.  No more slow computers!
We went to Best Buy on Labor Day and got all set up.  Of course this is all for Jake's new yard/spraying side business he has gotten into, but he has given me permission to use the business computer to do my blog. Thanks so much sweetheart! (Like it was even a question. :) haha). 

So expect more updates! And more pictures! I promise!

Now to just get used to this new one....  Guess that means lots of computer time for me!  Sorry Jake. :)
