Annabelle 19 months

Annabelle loves being a big sister!  She is always pointing to her and saying "Sissy"  She tells her "night-night"                  She likes to kiss Claire's feet to get the reaction of getting kick because Annabelle laughs when this happens.  She finally is able to buckle together straps on car seats and strollers.  This is a major accomplishment in Annabelle's world because she's been practicing it for over a month.  She is able to walk down the steps by holding onto the wall.  Her favorite words are bye-bye, shoes, Hi (to Claire), outside, blueberries, sissy, pop (Popsicle).  She prefers to eat with spoons and forks instead of her fingers. She tried a little bit of a hamburger.  She ate one chicken nugget when she dipped it in ketchup.   She added a few months steps to her baby play this month by putting the baby in her high chair and also trying to put shoes on her baby.  She is continuing to use wipes to change her baby's diaper.  That's been a pain!!  Annabelle says "clean up" and then "all done" when she is done eating as she puts all her left over food in the cup holder.  However if we don't take it quick enough then she will give it to Chaz.  One of her biggest events of the month was going to the soap box derby with Daddy.
