Annika lately

Her first time on the big kid swing (almost 2 1/2). We were so happy to go to Pam's Playground this week. It was in the mid 50's and the sun was shining. We can't wait for spring!

I was packing to go to Debbie's house and she decided to pack for herself. This was her pile of essentials. We didn't end up going to Debbie's for mid-winter break because Benson was sick. I took him to the Dr. and he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection. 2 days into antibiotics and he is almost back to his normal self. He has also been teething though so he is still uncomfortable. And the abx give him diarrhea all day long. Poor little bum.

She has been playing outside a little bit this week. We have had some days in the low 50's and she has loved being outside again. After she had been playing outside for several minutes, she came to the door and asked for her sunglasses. :) I love this stylin' girl!

She also added the pink ear warmer that is around her neck. She pulled it out of the winter stuff and put it on herself. I never wear them myself so it was funny to see her so confident in adding it to her outfit.

Nursing her baby. She was insistent that the nursing cover go over her feet too. Very modest.

She put these giant boots on (probably 4 sizes too big) and said she was going out in the rain. It's been fun to watch her observe the weather and talk about it. She is a cutie smartie pants.

She loves building towers. We haven't used the blocks for awhile.  She got them out tonight and built this tower all by herself. I love the look of concentration on her face. She wasn't very happy to stop this activity when bedtime rolled around. I love that she enjoys playing with learning toys like this.
