Our little girl: Go Daddy!

Tonight our church's softball team had a double header. So we packed up the kids (since we both play) and went to the field. Annabell and Ford were at the field for 3 hours and did really well. Annabell's only issue was she wanted to play with all the kids and sometimes they would run off and she would go with them so I would have to bring her back. But but besides that she did great. She LOVES cheering for us. It is so wonderful to hear her say "Go Mommy!" when I'm at bat. She loves to look for daddy and cheer really loud for him too! She will say "Go daddy Go!" and when someone misses a ball she will yell "BALL!" like she is telling them where it is!

Last Friday we went out of town on the middle school retreat. The kids had a blast. Annabell ate up ALL the attention the girls lavished on her. On Friday and Saturday Annabell used the bathroom every time she had to go #2 and not once went into her diaper. We had to make sure and ask her if she needed to go. If she does when we ask then she will tell us, but if she doesn't she will say "No". She had an accident on Sunday, but it was really our fault because we were so busy and didn't get a chance to ask her until it was too late. She tells us sometimes too, but she does best we she tells us and we ask her all day. A combined effort. I bought her some big girl pull ups, but they didn't work too well because she couldn't get them pulled down. BUT she was tickled pink that she got to wear big girl "panties". SO that day she went in her pull up and Briana was sleeping Ford's room where the diapers are so I thought it would be fine to just use her bloomers until I could get to a diaper...I then proceeded to forget she only had bloomers on and she went #1 all of daddy's chair. I felt bad for her and him! But she is doing great with her training....she is still a little young, but on a great path for potty training.

I got to watch Briana a couple of days this week and it was so much fun. Annabell enjoyed playing with Briana. She really like the fact that B takes a bottle. She kept trying to feed her and then take it away from her again so she could feed her again. I had to step in on the feeding though. Annabell also started to crawl around because B is crawling. It was funny, because Annabell would take off crawling and turn around and motion for B to follow her and she would just laugh and follow Annabell. It was cute!

We took the
kids to their first real Baseball game. It was so much fun. Brad and I had Briana, Ford and Annabell and did really well with 3. Annabell really enjoyed cheering for the teams! She would throw her fist in the air and yell "GO!" and then clap for the team that hit the ball. Home team or away didn't matter to her! We watched the game from the 3rd row back for a few innings and then the kids were getting too hot and fussy, so we moved up to the "cheap seats" and got them out of the sun. But there really are no bad seats in that stadium.

Well Annabell has really discovered make-up. She always likes me to put some one her when I wear it, but I rarely wear make-up so she hasn't had many opportunities, but I gave her some old make-up I have kept for our youth girls and man did she go to town. I let her play in it while I did some volunteer work on the computer and she had a blast. The pictures say enough.

This is her new make up after I washed off the old make up!

This is a picture of Annabell in Ford's bouncer. Lately with her being around B and Ford so much she has wanted to try all of his toys and crawl around like a baby. She gets bored quickly though and moves on.

Here is a video of Annabell and us playing in the yard. It was a gorgeous evening so we went out for a bit before dinner. If you notice she is wearing boots (her choice). She was running to us (Ford and I) and tripped and fell, knocking her head against his head. They both had huge eggs on their foreheads and sent me into a panic attack thinking it was worse than it ended up being. Praise God he healed them both quickly and they had no problems besides huge bruises on their foreheads!
