Hostipital

There's an extra syllable in this word... she's actually gotten better at it in this video than she used to be, but I love it this way.

Rocky road ice cream

Annie and her Papa agree - Wocky Woad WOCKS!

Fantastic flip flops

These flip flops are just so fabulous I had to get them on video.

You only make this kind of mistake once.

Back in four days

"How to make mum feel guilty for going to California for four days" by Annie.

Bad boot

Boot = book.
This is a long video, only for the committed. I like it because I feel like it shows her at this age - how she interacts... but there's really not that much interesting in it.

Healthy eater

What, you might ask, do we feed a 2 1/2 yr old Annie? She has some favorite foods, listed here. And we did capture my favorite phrase - where she says "no can" when she means "and I can"... I just love it.

Quotable

Recounting a conversation from earlier.

Cracking herself up

Here's the girl playing a little joke - making herself laugh as she jumps on our bed and catches sight of herself in the mirror at the top of her leap... and says buh-bye to herself each time. Hehe. Also love the morning hair.

Athlete

She's really quite good at everything physical - catching a ball, for one (and this isn't even a good example of it... Ev likes it better when she brings her hands together right when the ball gets to her, but either way, I'm impressed).

"Truth" telling... a complicated concept

Who dropped the Cheerios on the floor, Annie?

Playing her beloved dicar

Annie got this ukelele for her 2nd birthday, and she's loved playing it since the moment it entered the house. The best part is what she calls it.

At the Museum of Science

Loving the water table, just moments before the nosedive straight in. She thought it was hilarious. Do you wonder how she possibly could have fallen in? I mean she looks so stable...

First "beaux-friend"

John-John is our daycare provider's younger son. Annie had quite a crush on Adam, her 7 year old, late last year, but apparently her affections have switched to the 4 year old John-John.

January's favorite book

We got this out of the library 2 1/2 weeks ago, and Annie took a shine to it right away. Maybe I'm easily impressed, but when she started to know it by heart after only a week or so, I figured it had to be taped someday... and now I finally did it, quick before it's due back at the library. Warning - it's 3 1/2 minutes of video, and before I edited out the page turns, it was a bit dizzying - I think it's a little better now.

Ever cheerful

Singing along with her little british music player... ever cheerful on the ride home from bowling and dinner.

Potty training, not doing so well

We're still working on the difference between "farts" and other things that come out. Annie's pretty sure that if she tells us she's just farting, she won't have to go to the potty or get a diaper change.
