Annalies is 1!

How fast life goes!

So, in a few short weeks, Annalies has progressed

from this:

July 12, 2011
8 months exactly

to this!

August 3, 2011

And then there's stepping very carefully along the bars, all the way to the other end of the playpen to reach Mama! :)

Keeping Cool!

Let me out!!! Or I'm going to get out by myself! :)

Ik kan wel klimmen - slim he?

Enjoying a Magnum Ice Cream bar - one way to keep cool! :)

Kan je zijn dat ik geniet van mijn Magnum ijs? Yum, lekker koel!

Het is buiten ongeveer 33-35 C, binnen 27-29 C, en vochtig, met een gevoelstemperatuur van ongeveer 40C.

Signs of Spring!

rhubarb - rabarber

onions and garlic

uien en knoflook

lovage - maggi plant

Bubbles - bellen blazen!

Purple Smiles!

Here is Annalies at 16 weeks! She's rolling over from tummy to back, turning around in her playpen and crib (rotating so her body faces a different way!), grabs at toys, hair, clothes - whatever's in her reach! Last week she was 15 lbs 14 oz (7.2 kg) and around 64 or 65 cm long (25 inches).

Annalies - 16 weken oud. Ze kan van haar buik weer terugrollen op haar rug en pakt graag haar, kleding en speeltjes! Vorige week woog ze +/- 7.2 kg en was ze ongeveer 64 of 65 cm lang.

Papa's hair is too funny!

I'm not sure what is so funny about Richard's hair - the last hair cut I gave him is starting to grow out, and it actually doesn't look too bad now! :) Whatever it is, Annalies is very tickled :) by Papa's hair!

Intro to Ice Fishing

Anita, Katie, Cameron and Sarah offered to take our boys Ice Fishing on Louis Riel day (Feb 21). Unfortunately, there was more ice than fish! It seems like they all enjoyed the day anyway! Jonathan wasn't sure he wanted to go ice fishing, until he saw that his friend Ethan had been. The fish were luckier with Jonathan and Daniel than they were with Ethan!

Help in the Bath!

I've missed Wordless Wednesday, but I'll try to get this up this week anyway!

Home away from Home

Annalies was in the Children's Hospital for 17 days, from Dec 28, 2010 to Jan 13, 2011.

Lots of cuddle time...

Bright eyes!

Company in my bed!

Chatting with Papa!
