Hilarious

Anneke has known most of the animal sounds for quite a while now.....but for some reason, she's just picked up on the cat sound more recently.  But even more recently, she's learned an action to go with it.  It's hilarious!  We totally crack up everytime she does it!  We have no idea where she learned it, maybe from one of her cousins at camping last week?

Our Little "Helper"

Anneke wanted to help water the flowers today.  She's at the stage where she wants to help with everything.  Which is fun, and messy.  Anyways, she didn't do too bad with the flowers.  She did spend a lot of time washing the wall and watering the grass too--but that's part of the fun, I guess!

Hot Days

Wow!  It's been over a month since we updated our blog--sorry everyone!  Our computer recently crashed so we're working off my school computer and I hadn't gotten around to trying to put up a blog without uploading all my pictures to the computer.  But here it is.

So today, being so hot, we decided to get out the pool for the first time this year.  Anneke had fun in it for a bit.  She didn't last too terribly long, and she wouldn't sit down in it.....maybe it was a bit too cold for her.  And I also pulled out the 2T bathing suit, which is clearly too small, so I'll have to remedy that in the next couple of days!  She mostly enjoyed dumping water out of the pool onto the tarp underneath, but whatever, it kept her cool and occupied for an hour and a half!  (Well, the whole 1.5 hours wasn't spent in the pool, but she kept going back to it.)

Playing

Easter Weekend

On Easter weekend we had a great time at Mom and Dad V's.  We had lots of chances to enjoy the beautiful, warm weather, especially since all Anneke wants to do lately is play outside.  Here are some pictures from a couple of "photo shoots".  Anneke wasn't really game for these photo shoots, so there was a lot of trying to catch pictures on the go!

First Haircut

Anneke had her first haircut yesterday.  She was not impressed!  It started out okay, but within two minutes she was screaming.  Her hair looks a lot better though!  I don't have a very good picture of it right now, but the rat tail is gone!  Thanks, AnneMarie for doing a fabulous job!  And to Grandma for holding her head (not so impressive for Anneke) and Aunt Rachel for taking the pictures!  Whew, what a job!

Here are a few pictures of the experience:

That was certainly a tiring experience!

Stay tuned for more picture of our weekend......

Rainy Day

Here are some pictures from our rainy, cold day:

 "My chair isn't where it's supposed to be....!"  She has been climbing into her chair a lot lately, although it's usually strapped onto a chair.  I think this is a bit of a growth spurt, because she is eating a lot!

 Wearing the slippers Great-Gammi made me!

And can never get too much of horsey with daddy!
