Birthday card.

I am so happy with the way these pictures turned out. These are some of the pictures I took for Anna's birthday card. I took me taking pictures two days in a row to get some good shots. I also have to add that I made the tutu, her hair band and I ironed on the butterfly to her shirt. I am feeling quite crafty right now!

OK, I know I am bias because i am her Mom. But seriously I have the cuties baby ever!

More yumminess!

I can't believe my baby is going to be ONE in just a few weeks! She is getting to be such a big girl. She has my heart that is for sure!

My little crawler

Baby pool

Anna is not too into the pool. She mostly wants to stand up and walk around, which requires me to hold on to her at all times. I am hoping to take her to a big pool soon to see how she like it.

Sunday

Just a few cute pictures from this last Sunday.

Tualatin Commons

We went down to Tualatin commons and played by the lake.

Sand in the city.

A few weekends ago we went down town to sand in the city. They bring in sand to pioneer square and have a sand building contest. I was really amazed at the detail they were able to do with just sand and water.

I love this picture! It looks like Anna is pointing out to her Daddy what she wants at Tiffany & Co. This girl is starting early!
Anna always falls asleep in her stroller. The constant motion on the stroller really knocks her out. Once the stroller stops she always wakes up, with a bit of a grumpy face!

Anna's first 4th of July

We went over to a park by our house to watch fireworks this year. We found an awesome spot where we could see everything. We camped out for an hour before the show started on the grass. It was a bit chilly, 62 degrees. We kept warm snuggled under a blanket.

Anna was very excited to see so many fun sparklers and small fireworks. Once the real show started that is another matter all together! I have never seen Anna so scared! She was screaming a crawling all over me every time the loud bang of the firework went off. I had to snuggle the poor thing under a blanket the whole time so she would stop screaming.

We got home at about 11pm. Anna was beyond tired. The poor thing had a ruff night. Maybe next year she will enjoy all the pretty fireworks.

Mini Photo shoot.

I got some real gems in the bunch.

Sweet little almost 11 month old!!

My dream is coming true!

When Anna was first born I had a dream of doing a sweet birth announcement. I wanted her to wear a pretty pink tutu and a flower head band. Since I slacked/was over whelmed by being a new mom, I never got around to doing it.

Well I finally made a tutu and now all I need is a clear day to take some pictures outside. I am going to be sending out birthday/birth announcements hopefully in the next week. I am planning on a small butterfly birthday party for Anna on Saturday August 7th.

Lots of cute pictures to come!
