Anna's my joy

Since it's busy season for James, we're not planning to travel until Easter weekend. So, what to write about??? Anna Joy is the first topic that comes to mind.

She's such a fun 19 month old; who is the size & weight of a 2.5 year old. She loves bubbles, animals (the 'neigh-neigh' is a current fav), chocolate, babies (any child under 7) and her Da-Da. One of her friends is named Emily, but Anna calls her Eh-mine, and asks for her at least once a day.

One of her most cherished books is a children's book of prayers, called the 'baby book' after the kids on the cover. Her favorite prayer is the Lord's prayer, and she really likes the word 'debts'. After most prayers she says Amen unprompted.

Her vocabulary is huge (or maybe I'm only saying that since I'm her mom). New words in the past few weeks are: smoosh (for when her yogurt cup collapses), IS (she likes to repeat it when she hears it), rayon (crayons) and Amen. There are more, but my mommy brain won't let me recall them.

Her favorite numbers are 2 & 8, and she loves to draw with her crayons (thank you Smiley's for that present!). She loves the park and has just learned about shovels in the sand-box.

She's extremely shy in new situations, but once she's comfortable, she won't stop talking! She still uses her adorable Anna-baby language, that James and I will be so sad to see go someday.

So, that's my Anna report. It's not complete, but it should give you a glimpse of how much she's grown since October!

She's up from her nap, not doubt she'll tell me that she's "All Done!"
