Valentines and Birthdays

We had a wonderful valentines and we hope you all did as well. We celebrated on Friday and Brian took me to dinner. We are part of a co-op so we have two "date nights" a month. It has been fun. We took Annie with us and I think she had the most fun! She thinks large crowds are very entertaining and her cue to try to be louder then everyone around...so we try to keep her busy and it worked pretty well. We were able to visit a little, it went something like this..."(me)So anything new at work?" "(Brian)Well we have been try to... "(Annie)AUHHHHH AAHUHHH AHUHHHH!"..for my new computer." We had a good time at the end of the meal, after being so careful, Annie got a hold of my water and she and I ended up very wet...it was a cold walk to the car, but a memorable meal. :)

On Sunday we went up to celebrate Valerie birthday and had fun with family. Valerie threw herself a Harry Potter birthday again and being the designated cake maker I had to come up with another Harry Potter cake. So I chose to do the Griffindor Shield, using a new technique I saw called a buttercream transfer. It turned out great!

Seven Months, Wow!!

I can't believe that seven months have passed by. My little baby is getting so big!! She has four little teeth now and has been testing how they work by biting and grinding them. Annie really wants to crawl and when you sit her on the floor she will go to all fours and try to make a move...so far she just ends up on her tummy. It used to make her very mad until she discovered she can still roll and scoot around a bit. She is growing quickly but still needs her medicine. They just increased her dose and I cant believe what I difference it makes in her skin and her behavior...she is much happier when she has it, without it she seems pained and wants to be held all the time. We have to be careful what we feed her, but she loves food....she wont get any dairy, eggs or nuts for a while, but making the baby food makes it easier because I know exactly what is in her food.
