18 Months

My little Anne-bug is 18 months old today. Wow. Time has really flown by. She has now been in our arms longer than she was in anyone else's.

She has changed and grown so much in the last 9 months. It is hard to believe that she was crawling and drinking from a bottle when we came home. She is such a big girl now! She loves to run and play. She's doing well with going on her potty chair. Her favorite thing to do is read books (she calls them bobums). She is quite a determined little lady and it helps her to learn a lot (and get a few time-outs along the way). She is becoming very aware of her environment and she remembers things that astonish me. She loves to say her prayers. She'll just stop in the middle of playing and fold her hands to pray. Her favorite part is to say, "Amen" with everyone. It is cute. The other night we were eating at Subway and she was on her sixth prayer and Grandpa Jeff grumbled and said, "Ughhhh, that's enough now." Haha.

We love you so much, beautiful Anne Belen!
