Dancing Queen

Angela loves music! She responds anytime music comes on and starts to excitedly dance and play. She's got rhythm - or at least will find it.

Grandma's 94th b-day party

Grandma great turned 94 this year. The whole family got together in her backyard for the celebration. Angela had fun meeting everyone and seeing all the pretty flowers in Grandma's yard.

She's moving

Angela is all over the place!! If she isn't crawling fast, she is using the furniture to get around. One of her favorite toys is paper, and there is plenty of it once she found the magazines. She squishes into the end table, pushes out the magazines, then plays with them. She is quite the mess maker; but she is in heaven and loves it.

Getting in

Settled in

Who let the dogs out?

Angela and the dogs (Osa and Jake) get along so well. When she is outside they play and the dogs will lick her and she tells them no, or just laughs. But we can't always go outside with her, so she sits at our back door and can play with them for hours. It is fun to watch her and hear her jabber with the dogs. The dogs will play with her, until they realize she can't open the door to let them in. Check out the video.....

Reunion Season

Some would say summer is a season, but it has a season in itself - Family Reunions. Angela has had a fabulous time meeting all the extended family. We've attended two family reunions; and were privileged to host family and cousins from California. We have enjoyed it and Angela loves all the attention and new friends. Too bad they all had to go home.

Just chillin'

This summer has been so hot that we take time to just chill. Angela loves to drink water, which is a good thing. One of hers (and daddy's) favorite pastimes is to relax before a nap or from playing outside by drinking cold water (and sometimes slurpees). Still from the bottle, but not for long as she is figuring out the sippy cup.

Who loves chocolate?

Who loves chocolate? We do, and so does Angela! It is so funny to see her eat it. Whenever it gets in her mouth her whole face lights up. We can sit down with some chocolate ice cream, Angela will be on the other side of the room, and next thing you know, she's at our side wanting some and doesn't leave until we put it away or it's gone. It's a good thing, it would be a shame if she didn't like chocolate the way her daddy does.
