Rock-a-bye Baby

Ani started doing this on her own. Whenever she hears this lullaby she starts rocking her baby. The words in English are basically, "Go to sleep little baby, if you cry the cat will eat you." Why are lullabies so morbid? Cats eating you, falling out of tree tops...?

Helping Daddy

Like Daddy, like Baby...
Ani has already started helping her daddy water the trees.
(Pardon the crazy hair... we had started taking out the braids but hadn't gotten very far:)

Ani's Newest Accomplishment

SHE DID IT!!!!!

What I am saying is "Belle" which is what they say here when babies stand up by themselves. She will sometimes just throw her hands in the air and go "Baaaaa," (her version of Belle).

Braids

She finally was somewhat still long enough for me to get her whole head braided :)

11 Month Birthday!

These are pics from Sunday, her 11 month birthday.
Thanks Mary Beth and Sarah for the dress and bathing suit!

A day at the Kivet (Basin)

Thanks Aunt Janie for the bathing suit... I've been waiting a year to put it on her!!!

The Divas

Aunt Bonita and the Crazy Baby :)

MANGOS

Ani has discovered the wonderful world of Mangos :D...

... and I have discovered the wonderful world of boiling water to get mango stains out.

Dancing in Rain Puddles

Mom recently sent me a card that said, "Life sends rain... Hope dances in the puddles till the sun comes out again." Then she wrote "Oh the wonderful day when anything will dance in rain puddles!" since she knew we really needed rain. Well momma, here is Ani dancing in rain puddles :D We got 1.5 inches the day I got her card!

Ani's Song

This is a song where the chorus goes "Ohhhhh, Ahhhhh" I can't believe she already picked that up!
