Annika & Daddy

Annika loves her daddy so much!  When he comes home from work, she runs to him and hugs him and gets all hyper.  She remains hyper for the rest of the night with him around.  She'll jump on him, tease him, tickle him and ride on his back.  It is the cutest thing ever!

Moab Restaurant

While in Moab, we ate breakfast at a restaurant.  Annika was so well behaved.  She had a crepe and rolled it up to eat it all by herself.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up.  She carries on full conversations with us.  She loves to talk!  Some words that she can say are:  chocolate milk, Hi Sam (her favorite cousin), eat, cars, police car, ipod (pronounced "pod pod"), iphone (pronounced "phone phone"), movie, tv, grandma, grandpa, mommy, daddy, Minnie Mouse, bear, juice, snack, and so many more!  

Moab Park

Annika loves playing at the park.  Recently, while in Moab, I took her to the park.  She loved playing on all the toys, slides and swings.  If I didn't swing her high enough, she would say "higher" and "more."  We spent hours there and when I tried to get her to the car, she would run across the field back to the playground.  She has so much energy!  

Recycle

Annika knows how to recycle now.  The other day, she threw a piece of cardboard in the garbage and I told her to take it out of the garbage and put it in the recycle.  She took it out and ran to the garage and threw it into the garage, ran back into the house and said "recycle."  She must have seen me throw the recycle out in the garage, although I put it in the recycle bin, but she didn't see me to that.  She thinks that I just throw it in the garage on the floor.  =)  So now whenever I tell her to recycle, she throws it on the garage floor.

New Blog

I have never done a blog before...but thought I would try it to document all our family's fun adventures and Annika-isms.  Annika does so many funny and amazing things that I have to write them all down.
