After we got back from vacation my sister Lauren came over with her son Logan. Annabelle just adores Logan, but he's not so sure about her all the time. The two of them are just 9 months apart.
Since it was so hot we let Logan play in the spinkler. He later carried the sprinkler over to the faucett, set it down and then turned the water way up and scared himself. He wanted to get wet, just not that wet.
Oops, forgot to flip this one, sorry, just turn your head side ways.
My sister Jen sent me this picture from our vacation, it was one of the days I forgot my camra. There was a park about 5 minutes away from the campsite and behind it was an old covered bridge, this is where the picture was taken.
Here are our vacation pictures, there are a lot and they are not in order, sorry. This is our family picture on the grounds of our hotel in Solvang, we stayed here with my parents the first night to split up the long drive to Santa Cruz.
More picture of the grounds of the hotel. It was really pretty, we were quite impressed.

She loved being outside. She did so good camping.

Family portrait.
This is Garrett my cousin James' son. He was born just 3 1/2 weeks after Annabelle. James and his family recently moved to Georgia. We're totally bummed that they don't get to grow up together. But if they don't mind visitors we would love to go visit, just not in the summer (sorry guys, way to hot and humid for me!).
Belle is not so sure she wants to share her toy, or anything else for that matter.
So she trys to take it back and succeeds.
And once she has it she doesn't even play with it.
But Garrett isn't bothered by his little thief of a cousin, he continued to play with Belle even though she kept taking toys from him. She even took his binkie out of his mouth earlier in the week. She is such a little stinker.
I took these pictures a couple weeks ago but haven't gotten a chance to post them until now. We were very busy getting ready for a much needed vacation and we just got back today (I'll post those pictures later). I love this picture, her whole face lights up when she smiles.
Annabelle has been sitting up for about a month now, she is doing really good. She still tips over if she reaches to far and sometimes she throws herself back, like in this picture, which is why I keep something soft around her still.
She is such a big girl and she knows it! She is so nosey, so sitting up makes it that much easier to look around.
