Anna At 19 Months


This little girl has such a fun personality just bursting at the seams.

This little girl loves to pull clothes off hangers and out of drawers. She loves to layer sweaters and coats and take shoes on and off. She even likes to put on skirts over dresses if given the opportunity.

This little girl is very good at saying yes, no, mama, papa, meow (sounds like mao), and "na na" (her name). This little girl understands much more than she can say with words.

This little girl loves to lay on her tummy in the bath and blow bubbles. And splash, splash, splash.

This little girl really likes popcorn, string cheese, cereal from Daddy's bowl, and apple juice.

This little girl, according to her brother, likes to play chase, play with her toys - like her kitchen and her groceries, and take long naps (he wants her to take long naps so he can get more time with Mom playing a lego game that's just too tough to play when she is up and about).

This little girl is interested in the potty.

This little girl strongly dislikes being confined to a chair at the table.

This little girl loves to have at least three books read to her before bed and then she likes to take them in her crib with her as she goes to sleep. When she wakes up she either looks at them again or throws them to the floor depending on her mood.

This little girl is awesome.

    Gosh it's been fun to watch your girl grow! She is adorable and reflects all the love in her life! Lucky Anna! Lucky us to get to experience some of her life. Thanks. And I agree with Fran (#50) that the binocular picture is wonderful!

    Hi Ali,
    Love your pictures! They are always so clean and soft! You are a great inspiration!
    I know you mentioned awhile ago where you got the print with Anna's name on it but I can't seem to find the post when you mentioned it. Do you happen to remember? I think you said from Etsy? Do you remember the seller perhaps? Thank you

    Awh, so cute. It's great to record monthly as kids grow up way too fast. My hubby and I were marvelling this morning over just how lucky we are.

    Anna is precious, and I love the way you listed so many interesting facets of her personality. Cherish every moment - it seems as if my daughter should still be that little, but I just returned from a trip halfway across the country to help her move into an apartment for her senior year in college. I wish I had recorded my feelings and so much about her when she was small. Photos are only part of the equation, and I am so inspired by your journaling. Enjoy those beautiful children of yours!

    I enjoy reading about Anna and her development. It gives me something to look forward to... my son is 15 months old so, you give me a great look into the future. Being a first-time mom, I enjoy seeing what other kids are doing. Thanks for sharing, Ali!

    these pictures our priceless it's too hard to even pick a favorite. love the way you journal about your children. my daughter summer loved to change her clothes all day when she was almost two also, I could never keep her clothes put away, eventually just left them in the laundry basket for her to dig thru. so glad she loves her new room, with beautiful windows for looking out of. thanks for sharing these precious moments with us.

    Wow...eighteen months already! I still remember "it's a girl". She's a beautiful little lady.

    P.S. Viewmasters! I had forgotten about those toys. I must get one for my two year old!

    Hi Ali, the pic of Simon reading to Anna is utterly precious. She is such a lucky little girl to have a big brother who is so sweet to her.
