All I want for Christmas...

On the 23rd I caught my first glimpse of Ani's first tooth! Then, yesterday you could actually feel it! I guess God is giving her her bottom front teeth for Christmas!

Christmas Program

Last night was the Christmas Program for the school. She looked so cute :)

So Dirty!

There is a little chicken at Manis' Mom's house that somehow got it's back broken so it walks upright like a person! He is SO CUTE! Anyway, we were up there and Ani wanted so badly to be on the ground (on the porch) to chase the chicken so finally I gave in and let her go. She had so much fun! She was filthy afterward but it was worth it! I am so sad that I don't have a picture of her with the chicken, I didn't have the camera with me. Anyway, this is what she looked like when we got back home.

In the Cold!

It FINALLY started to cool down and was even cold for a few days! So Ani was in long sleeves and pants and socks :) It was kind of fun! Some of the pants are 12months so they are a little long! :)

Red Polka Dots

Just a few cute pics from today...

I love this one in sepia!

Looking so Cute

She loves chewing on her red shoes (which are too small *SAD!*)
Keeping her hands full with them was the only way we could keep her from taking her sunglasses off! :)

She finally got tired of the sunglasses.

Ani and the Monkey

Aunt Jenn's Christmas Dress

Today I took a few more in her Christmas dress from her Aunt Jenn :)

She decided not to smile for the camera today...

... but then her daddy came in and I got one!

Playing the Keyboard with Daddy

The two cutest people in the world :)

With the School Kids

Some of the Pre-School kids came in with their teacher, Josiane, and were so excited to see Ani. They came in while I was bathing her and then they all followed me back to her room while I dressed her and all. They were so cute I had to take their picture!

Standing in Her Crib... by herself!!!!

Well, she finally did it. She grabbed the bars and stood up all by her little self. She is getting so big so quickly... it is bittersweet

FIRST BITES!... kinda

I was giving Ani banana and yogurt to help her tummy and thought, I have to get some pictures! These are technically her first bites! So, I know the quality isn't great but at least I captured it! The bottom one I was trying to feed her and take a picture so I let Mme Robert feed her so I could get a better one :)

Christmas Pictures

This morning we took Christmas pictures in Ani's two Christmas dresses. One is from Mom and one is from Aunt Jenn. By the time we got to the second one though she was a little tired of pictures so I will have to try more later.

This is my favorite so far. She picked that ornament off the tree herself and it was so perfect!

The ornament behind her is a "Baby's First Christmas" one from mom.

She loves shoes already! Well, chewing on them at least.

With Josiane

Standing Up :)

"Look mom! Just one hand!"

I took these pictures yesterday morning. Then last night Manis was sitting with her on the floor and she held on to him and pulled herself up all by herself! She grabbed on to his chain and when she would lose balance she would use it to to keep herself from falling! Oh she is growing up so fast!

The Pictures are Up

We finally were able to get pictures on the wall!
