From this weekend
 |
| Miss Anne is now 13 months old. She has five teeth and I expect number six to come through any day. She really enjoys eating and thinks it's funny to squish food out of her mouth too. She just learned to clap her hands and we are all very proud of her. Her days of crawling are long past, she instead likes to bolt down the hallway and climb on pretty much anything she can! |
 |
| Elijah has fallen hard for his little sister. |
 |
| He loves rolling around on the floor with her! |
 |
| Elijah used to hate being in photos but now asks me to take pictures of him and Anne. |
 |
| Had to include this photo as Elijah is hugging an elephant I used to play with as a child. He has also become quite attached to my brown stuffed dog. "Doggish" was given to me by my mom. Elijah loves him so much that he sewed a friend for him. |

Happy 2013!
 |
| Went to Harry Caray's for the first time during our "stay-cation" dowtown last weekend. |
 |
| Perched atop a cow from the Chicago Cows on Parade installation! |
 |
| Note Elijah's gorgeous long locks, had a hair cut a few days later. |
 |
| Enjoying the "touristy" sites! Did not actually eat here but Elijah had fun checking out the robotic animals. |
 |
| Near the corner of Rush and Ontario, how romantic and fun to witness (she said yes, of course) |
 |
| Anne enjoyed playing in our fluffy hotel bed but spent all three nights sleeping peacefully in her pack and play. |
 |
| One of her signature poses! |
 |
| Anne's first Christmas! |
 |
| I drove down to Dee's for Chinese and sushi. Was overjoyed to discover that Anne loves garlic eggplant! |
 |
| Shabbat with Cousin Max! |
 |
| Max and Elijah are actually starting to play together, very exciting! |
 |
| Anne has two teeth!! Here she is brushing them (for the first time!) with Daddy. |
