Annabelle has learned a lot of new words. Her new favorite for about a month now is Hi. It’s really cute when she wakes up in the morning and all you here is, Hi…Hi………HI…….hi…..Hi……..Dada, Hi!
We took Annabelle to get her 18 month pictures taken but she didn’t want to smile for the camera. Every time we put her in front of the back drop she would start to cry. As soon as we would walk away, she was fine. The only good pictures we got were with her sitting on my lap. Too bad she wouldn’t give us one of her pretty smiles.
We’ve been to the Zoo several times now. I think she’s starting to take more of an interest in the animals at the Zoo and not just all the people. She loves to observe people. I wonder what she thinks sometimes. The birds are still her favorite since they move around more than some of the other animals and seem to get her attention. Here’s my sweet girl playing in a log at the Zoo.
Annabelle loves to climb on stuff. She will bring a chair, stool or whatever she can find and will use it as stairs to climb onto anything Mom and Dad have said are off limits. This is Annabelle climbing onto one of her toys. Silly girl!
We stayed the weekend in Estes Park for Labor Day and Annabelle had a great time. They had a little park with a swing she liked and lots of horses and ponies that Annabelle liked to look at but not touch. She even saw a bear in the river right next to our cabin. I think out of everything she had to do there though, collecting rocks off the road was her favorite thing to do. My Great Grandma Annabelle was a rock collector as well. I guess she inherited more than just her name.
In a couple weeks Annabelle will be walking and/or wagon riding in her 2nd Alzheimer’s Walk. This year she has her own personal page to raise money. If you would like to donate to Annabelle’s page you can go to
Hope you all had a great summer!
