8 Months Old

Today is the 26th and Anna is 8 months old! Can you believe it?

We wrapped up her 7th month in style! Here's the catch up....

Yesterday was Memorial Day. Brent and I had the day off work and we spent the day being a family of three! We went to a lovely Memorial Day celebration at the circle in Grosse Pointe Woods. There was nothing cuter than Anna waving her Memorial Day flag!

She loved to wave it, when she wasn't trying to eat it!

Dancing with Daddy to the band music.

Happiest Girl on the block.

Brent caught this shot - we're holding hands.

Brent's parents were here on Saturday and Sunday. What a nice time! I had to work both days, but they had a fun-filled visit with Brent and Anna! Lots of walks and play time. It's always great to spend a couple of days with Grammy and Grampy!

On a walk with her new sunhat from Grammy and Grampy!

Loving the Johnny Jump Up - hand-me-down from Aunt Ang!

My mom was here all of last week to visit. She took some time off work while my dad is still in school in Chicago. It was wonderful having her! We had a relaxing week together - our days filled with outings and Anna. What can be better?

Hanging out with Grandma on the porch.

Grandma loves me in this chair!

Anna got her first little cold a couple of weeks ago. A stuffy, snorty little nose and a few cranky days. We didn't need to go to the doctor, just stayed at home with the blue nose bulb syringe (booger sucker, I call it) and some extra fluids. Anna also may be teething again. Chewing on everything! She also growls every once in a while...it's very silly and so very Anna. But, she seems to be perking up - not as congested and not as growly. Her 7 month old blues. :)

Well, I'd say Anna's 7 month was a success! Lots of memories and lots of fun. Aside from the little cold, what else can a baby ask for?!

And here we begin month number 8. Can't wait!

Anna's first parade - another first for her list! I'm glad to hear she enjoyed the sights and sounds of the parade.
Nice hat! Great photos - especially the hand holding - that is one to be framed as a keepsake!
