So much to say, you really don't have to read all this, it's more for my memory than anything.

So much has happened since the last post. Let's see if I can remember it all, probably not, but I'll write what I can.

AnnaLynn now has seven teeth, the most recent one broke through on May 26th just after the sixth one did. Her diet has expanded dramatically. She eats almost anything we do with the exception of choking hazards and possible allergens. I hardly have to blend her food for her any more which is great and saves a lot of time. I just make sure it is chopped up well.

She is walking like a professional, actually she is running most of the time. She took her first step on Easter as she was trying to reach an Easter egg. Her vocabulary is grow, although you probably would not recognize most of the words unless you were around her frequently. She can say Daddy, doggie, kitty, ball and she's starting to say Momma. She also makes the sounds but not quiet the pronounciation for thank you, look, and Granny. She can also tell you the sound for a doggie (bark and sniff), a lion, sheep, elephant, and monkey... however she does not do these consistently on command yet.

But what she can't say with her mouth she can do with her actions. She is so smart. If you say "AnnaLynn, where is your ball?" She will look and find her ball. You can then say "AnnaLynn, get your ball and bring it to Momma," and she will do it. This is just one example of many things like this. She can also point out lights, her drink cup, her blanket, books, blocks, and more things are being added to this list daily.

She thankfully still takes about three naps a day! Which is great and she loves taking them. She only gets really cranky when she's tired and isn't able to go to her bed.

Tony has finished the Spring semester at Asbury online!!! We were all excited about that. He has three more years of online classes then he is done! He is currently in Birmingham, AL with the youth group on a mission trip. The little updates I get sound like they are having a great time!

We recently celebrated Tony's 30th birthday! We had a surprise party on June 6th, four days before his actually birthday. I think he caught on a little toward the end, but it was still a great, fun time. Tony and I also celebrated our fourth anniversary. My mom came down to Denham Springs to watch AnnaLynn for the night. It was the first night that we had been away from her for the whole night. Mom said she did great and they had a ton of fun, never even noticed we were gone, which is great and a little sad, but only a little.

I am currently in Montana with Mom, Granny and AnnaLynn. We are having a great time. We got her on Saturday June 11th. AnnaLynn really did a great job with flying. Three flights!! Yesterday we went to GNP. The Going-to-the-Sun Road is only opened to Avalanche Creek, so we drove there and then walked to trail of the cedars and checked out Avalanche Gorge. The park had a ton of snow this year, more than normal. So, the water is extremely high everywhere. Sacred Dancing Cascades was so full and beautiful. Granny said she had only seen it that full once before! It reminded you how powerful and scary water can be! AnnaLynn loved hiking on Trail of the Cedars. She did such a great job. The weather was cloudy, drizzly, and a little cold, but we had a great time!!

Today we are enjoying a day in Whitefish. More later. Love to all.
