Ready to attack her 1st Birthday Cake, thanks Papa!

There must have been something interesting out there???

NANA LOVE

Ummmmm Frosting

11 month picture, she insisted on holding onto the bottle

Getting all geared up for her first bike ride in her new trailer 

The added weight of the helmet through off her all ready shaky balance 

At the end of every good bike ride is ice cream

Annika is shopping for her first car.  I couldn't interest her in a '98 Civic. 

We got some chairs for Annika and Phoebe to take camping, tailgating or to sit in for timeouts.

 Lazy weekend and we are still in our PJ's

This is Annika's "Ninja Baby" outfit.  When she wears it she has stealth mode capabilities and can disappear into any dark corner.

 

 



 

Ninja Baby caught red handed.

 Holman's asking Annika if there is any room on the couch



Annika got to go to a beer tasting party with us. 

Then we went shopping for new shoes but found a cool hat instead.

Where is Annikia?  It's like picking E.T. out of a closet full of stuffed animals

Bath time at Aunt Nancy's in Minneapolis 

Then she got to sing in the church choir.

 



Annika testing out the new Baby Gate 

Her new favorite pastime is to taunt the dogs when they are outside 

Trying out a pint sized chair in Ikea

You gotta look cute for daycare
