Amazing how "grown-up" Anabelle has become...

She has started eating her meals with a fork. Now, she doesn't always get food on the fork, but she tries.
When I picked her up at daycare yesterday, she was sitting at the table, drinking milk from an open cup, and dunking her oreo's in the milk. It was so sweet, it made me want to cry! Well, until she turned to face me and I realized her shirt was ruined and she needed a bath.

She tells me now when she is ready to go to bed, and whenever she needs something she uses phrases instead of the grunting and whining.
When walking through Lowe's with Josh the other day, he did something she didn't like and she told him, " No, no, no. Bad Daddy." I think it really shocked him, but he should just get ready. Little girl drama is never ending!

Vacation Pics and Announcement

Our life has been so crazy lately!!! Anabelle is on the go and seems to never stop... She is eating with silverware now and is really catching on to things. We found out yesterday that we are having a little boy! Jack Robert (Robert after Josh's daddy) will be here in January. Anabelle will already tell you that her little brother's name is Jack.
Here are some Beach pictures from Edisto Island, SC. We skipped the Gulf this year, and although it was a little disappointing to not go, South Carolina was amazing!!!!
