7 Months Old

Annabelle went on her first plane ride this month.  Her Great Grandpa Walter turned 90 and we flew down to Florida to celebrate.  She did pretty well on the plane with the exception of not wanting to sit still and squirming all over the place.  We went to visit at the nursing home and took Annabelle around to meet all her Great Grandpa’s friends. She was called the “Therapy Baby” for the smiles she brought to the faces of all the residents there. 

We took Annabelle to the beach but found that she was not a fan.  As soon as we stuck her feet in the water, she pulled her legs up and started screaming.  We laid her on a beach towel and she didn’t like that either.  Hopefully someday she’ll learn to like the beach.  I think she was just too little on this trip.  She did however enjoy the Merry Go Round.  Her Daddy held her on his lap and she clapped and smiled. 

Annabelle was a perfect angel on our trip.  Even though we were off schedule with naps and feedings, she was really good.  We couldn’t count all the comments we got telling us “How lucky” we were and what a good baby she was.  Especially after she sat quietly through Sunday morning service at church.  That was very impressive.  I think she may have been showing off a bit. 

We are now gearing up for Annabelle’s first Alzheimer’s walk this weekend.  We’re still looking for team members if anyone wants to join us.  We’re also looking for donations if you would like to contribute.  Our donation page is at…
