Annalise is 19 Months Old!

I can’t believe how big our little lady has gotten lately. She is talking up a storm these days–I can’t keep up with all of her new words.

She loves to play with her brother. They spend their time at home chasing each other around the house, reading books together, “cooking” in the little kitchen, playing cars and trucks, having tea parties, and chasing each other some more. No one can make Annalise laugh like Josiah can, and she has proven herself strong to handle his rough play.

Annalise loves to play with her baby dolls, whom she refers to as “Baby La” (Baby Love). She carries them with her everywhere she goes, pats them, rocks them, dances with them and showers them with kisses. During our Advent season, she carried around baby Jesus and Mary from our Little People nativity set everywhere. Poor baby Jesus was left at the library, but we found him.

Our little girl is very determined. Once she sets her mind to something, she wants to do it or have it now and is difficult to distract from it. She is able to climb onto the kitchen chairs, couches, and the living room chair. I have even found her jumping on Josiah’s bed.

She is a lot of fun, loves anyone who shows her attention and brings our family a lot of happiness. We love you, Annalise!
