Annika is such a little sweetie. Her life is progressing rapidly and sometimes I can't believe another month has passed.
The kids recently taught her to high-5. And just this week Natalya was rolling her arms saying, "lolly, lolly, lolly POP!" and clapped her hands on the word pop. She was trying to get the little kids to blink on the word pop. Annika was observing then began copying her. Now Annika prides herself in saying and doing the motions to, "lolly, lolly, lolly POP" just like the big kids!
Annika loves to talk! She says little words like, hi, bye, mama, dada, night-night, no-no-no (while pointing her finger), whee! (every time she gets pushed on the tricycle), num-num (for food), and the newest addition to her vocabulary is lolly. Annika pronounces it, "la-la". Natalya and Branson were so impressed with themselves when they taught her the lolly pop game.

I put her high chair away when I bought a tray for her Bumbo. At only 17 pounds she still fits in the Bumbo - and she likes it way more than she ever liked her high chair. Her facial expression here is priceless. It's like she's saying, "What. I'm having a snack."
Annika found a cubby! Her new favorite place in our house is behind the couch. I keep pillows back there in case we want to get comfy on the couch. Well she thinks it her fort or something.
Haha! She reminds me of Kilroy!
Busy, busy Annika dumped out all the baby doll toys and sat in the carrier. She fit!

Is Daddy home yet???
She really wanted to see out the window. Maybe next year. :)
Annika didn't think she needed a nap. So she cried for a little while then fell asleep sitting up - making it perfectly clear that she was not giving in.

Who needs a room full of toys when dirt and rocks are in my own front yard...
Like all our kids enjoyed at this age, putting pebbles down the water cover is sooo much fun. It's funny how no one taught them to do that - but they all figured it out.
Busy, busy Annika is such a delight.
I love you, baby.
