Halloween Sip & See

My friend Carter hosted a Halloween Sip & See for all of the little ones this afternoon. Anna Kate had a ball! Everyone brought an appetizer and AK thoroughly enjoyed each one! She spent the whole 1st hour at the snack table. I caught her a few times even eating off the ground!! Yuck!

Someone brought Halloween Peeps (marshmallows) and she loved them!

AK, Reagan, Charlotte
(cat, ballerina, Dorothy)

Everyone playing in the yard

We tried really hard to get a group picture but this was the best we could do, it was nearly impossible! Jameson (scarecrow) Finn (spiderman), Charlotte (Dorothy), Colton (zebra), Reagan (ballerina), Peyton (bumblebee), Ava Grace (pig), Cole (Charlie Brown), and Anna Kate at the very back in front of the door.

Thanks Carter for hosting! We had a great time!

Happy (early) Halloween

We celebrated Halloween early this year with the annual party at the Meeks' home. I wasn't sure how Anna Kate would do with the costume, but she loved it! She wore it the whole night! We got a few pictures of her on the front porch before we left.Pumpkin love

The back of her costume (I love the tail!)

We had a great time and great food!

Anna Kate found Aunt Lizzie's jewels and was entertained the rest of the night!

On another note, AK has become quite the helper!!

"Thank You" and a ponytail!

We were at Panera after church this morning and when the lady gave us our food I said "Thank You" and right after AK shouted "Thank You!" She has said it all day long! Hopefully she will continue to learn and use manners!

Anna Kate's hair is long enough to put in a ponytail on top of her head!

14 months old

Anna Kate is 14 months old today! It's impossible to get a good "chair picture" of her anymore. She will not sit still for very long and then chair is getting borderline dangerous! Ha! This picture shows so much of her big personality!

Anna Kate is doing so many new things each day!

• Size 12-18 month clothes
• Size 3 or 4 shoe
• Size 3/4 diapers
• In to everything!!!
• Such a climber/daredevil.....she is afraid of nothing!
• Talking more each day. Most words she tries to repeat she will make at least the beginning sound. She does know hey, bye, uh-oh, mama, dada, pa, up, down, bath, bar (cereal bar), shoes, sock, her absolute favorite is NO!
  
• She knows a lot of body parts (hair, belly, feet, eyes, ears, nose, mouth)
• Loves to be sung to and watch Baby Einstein
• Barney is her all time favorite right now
• Her favorite toy is still a book
  
• Still loves bathtime!

We went to Nanny's church for homecoming this past Sunday. The service was very nice. After we ate we took AK to the playground with Jackson and Abby. It was very chilly outside so we couldn't stay long but they had a great time running around!
