Our learning little girl!

As Anna Kate grows, I am more aware of her developing mind. Here are some examples of things that amaze me...

A month and a half ago, my parents came to visit us for a week. My dad was wearing some brown Sperry topsiders for most of the time. The other day, Anna Kate was playing in our closet and pulled Jonathan's topsider shoes that look very similar. She brought them to me and said "Papa's shoes?" I cannot believe she picked up on that small detail and remembered for so long!

Jonathan just put a new antennae on the house so we can get the basic channels on TV. Apparently it is very powerful because we pick up all sorts of Spanish channels that we did not have before, so we are getting signals from Tijuana. One of the channels has Dora the Explorer on it...in Spanish. I turned it on for Anna Kate and thought she would probably lose interest pretty quickly because she did not understand what they were saying. She is still glued to it now! Maybe my little girl knows more Spanish than I think :) Or just picks up on all the context clues!

What a sweet developing mind!

Our comings and goings

Last weekend, Nana and Abba and Aunt Robin came for a visit. We had lots of fun playing and exploring new places. We went strawberry picking in Carlsbad. There is nothing like a strawberry fresh off the vine and warm from the sun!



Jenna watched the action from her baby carrier because she would definitely be into those strawberries if we let her down in the field.



Anna Kate gobbled up as many as she could find. She calls them "strawbebebbbies"

Jenna thinks Anna Kate is the funniest thing she ever saw. So sweet!
