Yesterday Annalise and Grayson became high school students at Aledo High School. They went to Shelly Williams class to be observed for a unit on child development. We played with them on the floor and the high school kids had to write things down that they were doing.

They were good sports- they were both very tired and needed naps but they kept it together until we left!






Here are some other happenings from around our house-

We just got back from my parents house where Annalise had her first pool time. She loves kicking, splashing and floating in the water. It was darling!!!





Also, here are some pics of Annalise, Grayson, Ellis, and Noah at the mall after we met the Easter Bunny. It was hard to coordinate all four babies and have them happy and keep their bunny ears on their heads. Grayson is in the blue, Ellis is in yellow, and Noah has on the tie.

I have been meaning to post this for a few days but we have been with out phone and internet because a squirrel chewed though the lines in our neighborhood.

Annalise met the Easter Bunny-
She was very cute and happy to meet him. Her friends Grayson, Ellis, and Noah were also there. I will post some more pictures of our big day when I get them. The 4 babies were very cute together.

Tomorrow Annalise will be six months old! Time is just flying by. I love watching her grow and change and develop her little personality.

Annalise has become a master drooler! I took her to the doctor yesterday because she was really congested and it turns out, she has an ear infection. I am pretty sure she has had the infection for at least three weeks... Oops! Now we know what symptoms to look for next time.

Anyways, when you are a drooly baby and your nose is plugged so badly that you can only breathe out of your mouth, you drool A LOT! Notice the very large drool stain below...


Here is Annalise being silly in a hat...


Here is her sad face. She is very good at sticking out her lower lip. I have been trying to capture this on camera for a while but usually when I get the camera out, she starts smiling right away. Notice her super cute pants with colorful hearts on them.


And, this is one of Annalise's new favorite games, playing in a tent made with a blanket.


We went to see the Easter Bunny today with our Tuesday mall walking friends. It was loads of fun and the babies all looked super darling in their cute spring outfits. Afterwards we took some pictures of the four of them together. I will put them up when I get them, they are on Grace and Effie's cameras.

She's gotta wear shades!

It snowed last night in Fort Worth. For you non-Texans out there, this is a pretty big deal. We got about a half inch of snow that stuck for a few hours.



Here is some extreme baby cuteness from Miss Annalise...




I am still amazed with her blue eyes!

This past weekend we had Annalise's baby dedication at church. It was a great weekend. My parents came in for the festivities and Thomas was with us the entire time as well. They got here on Thursday night. The weather was really nice on Friday so we went and had lunch outside at Joe T. Garcia's. Baby dedication was on Saturday afternoon and then we went out to dinner on Saturday night.

Here are some pictures...

Lots has been going on over the past two weeks... When I downloaded the pictures off of my camera there were 185 pictures!!! Time is passing so quickly! I can't believe that it is already March.

Annalise has started to enjoy reading with us, especially the book "Pat the Bunny."



She can also almost crawl, which is exciting and a little bit annoying all at the same time.



She has discovered some new favorite things... cell phones and tipping backwards. She loves the cell phone so much that we had to get her one of her own.






Some days she plays so hard that she falls asleep before we can get her in her crib.
