Annabelle is 1 year old!

I'm so late on posting this - so sorry AnnaB! We've been so busy lately and honestly, I've been trying to live more "in the moment" rather than trying to record every moment. And that means this post has become way overdue! 

Our AnnaB Bear turned 1 year ol in October! I think this may have been the fastest year of my life. I feel like she transformed from this stationary baby into a busy little toddler overnight - it's crazy! 

Annabelle at 1 year is amazing. She has such personality and it shows in everything she does. She loves to laugh and dance, especially when big sister is dancing. Her smile is so much like Lily's and it just lights up the room. She is almost always on the move, so it's easy to tell when she's ready for a nap or bedtime as she starts to slow down. She does have a bit of a dramatic streak that's starting to show as she gets older - it tends to really shine when she's told no 😉 And she makes the cutest little squeaking noise when she wants something you have - it's like this little Guinea pig chirp, I love it!

Annabelle is, for the most part, a really great eater. She'll try most things set in front of her and if it's something she really likes, she will scarf it down. She's finally come around to liking fruits, with oranges and apples being her favorites. She has so many teeth! 10 at the last count, including her on year molars, so meat is no problem for her. Her favorite food by far though, is graham crackers. If you ever want to get on AnnaB's good side (which isn't too hard ☺️), bring her some graham crackers and she'll be your best buddy. 

For her birthday party, we had a pumpkin theme - since AnnaB is our little punkin ☺️ and we got to celebrate her first year with all our family. It was such a fun time and she got a huge cake-sized cupcake all to herself!
