Annalise is on the go these days!!! I never know where I am going to find her if I look away. She can also pull herself up on stuff. Here are some of her favorite places to go...



Also, Jon's Mom was here for the weekend. We had a great visit with her!

Courtney and I just got back from a visit to my parent's house. Our husbands were together at a conference in Kentucky. The last time we visited The Woodlands, Annalise was about 6 weeks old and Grayson was about 9 weeks old. We re-enacted one of the pictures we took back at the end of October while we were there last week. Annalise is a little over 7 months old and Grayson is 8 months old now.

It is just amazing how much they have changed! I think we will have to take their pictures on that couch every time we go for a visit.

These are the pictures from October...



These are the pictures from last week... They had a lot more personality and were very wiggly!




Here are some of the other highlights from our trip...

Annalise was a swimming maniac!!! She kept dunking her face and couldn't stop kicking her little legs and splashing. Grayson took to the water more methodically and cautiously, but he also really enjoyed it.


I will be adding some more pictures later when I get the ones from Courtney's camera. She has some cute ones of them in the car.

Annalise has almost perfected her crawling techniques. This means that she can get around. I found her stuck under her bed a few days ago.


She also got her first pair of flip-flops.

And she has started using the "big girl" bath tub which she just loves!!!

Annalise and Grayson had four babysitters at our house on Friday night. Sunni, Amanda, Waverlee, and Sadie all came over and everyone had lots of fun!

Jon and I are big fans of Chick-fil-a. We eat lunch there every Saturday and have done that for a few years. This past week, Jon won a years worth of Chick-fil-a by camping out at the opening of a new store right by our house. The first 100 customers for each new store win the years worth of food. So, Jon recruited some friends from church and they camped out at Chick-fil-a! Annalise and I went to visit them that night. It was a lot of fun, the workers plan games and there was a DJ and lots of free nuggets.
