My baby brother (part III)

Mommy and Daddy took me to see new pictures of my baby brother. I guess he is kinda cute. Mommy said that I was kinda shy when I got my pictures taken. My brother must like showing off, because he posed for a lot of pictures! I can’t wait to meet him! .

What a Big Girl

Annalise has been working on this for a while, and she finally did it! She took a step by herself on Saturday, October 21st (2 days shy of her 9 month birthday). Both Pat and I were sitting on the playroom floor when she took a step to get from me to him. We’re so […]

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Annalise

Whew, what a busy week! I’ve lost track of the time we’ve spent in corn mazes, the Morton Arboretum and picking apples…but I think Mommy’s caught a cold from all this farm air! Aunt Kathy took some photos our our trip to Kuiper’s Farm…and there’s some pictures of “Aunt” Lisa and Ali on our trips […]

In Columbus, They Have Christmas in October…

Last weekend we went to Columbus, Ohio for Christmas! I know, that’s what I said….who ever heard of Christmas in October? In any case, as this was my very first “Christmas,” I wasn’t about to complain. It all started when Mommy and Daddy took me on another plane ride to visit my Aunt Amy and […]

I’m gonna be a big sister! (part two)

Mommy and Daddy brought me to see a picture of my baby brother! I guess he’s cute, but he looks kinda funny to me!

Let’s see those pearly whites!

Finally! Annalise is getting some teeth! They started breaking through this past weekend and she already has three of them. Mommy has to let Annalise chew on her fingers at her own risk. She is also cruising along with the whole crawling thing. Daddy is busy working on the “play room” so Annalise can roam […]

Girl on the move!

Annalise is growing up so fast! She went for her 6 month doctor’s appointment and she is in the 90th percentile for her height and weight. She wants to get around anyway she can. First she would roll across the floor to get the toy she wanted. Then she learned the “combat crawl” where she […]

Family fun on the 4th!

We had a great time celebrating the 4th of July at the cabin with Gramma and Grampa Jaromin and all of the Laubenstein cousins. Everyone was so surprised when they saw the double stroller we bought for Daddy! (I see that Annalise has already written a blog about our big news.) Annalise sure enjoyed visiting […]

I’m gonna be a big sister!

I’ve known for quite a while and it’s been sooooo hard to keep it a secret…(actually, I’ve been telling everyone I see, they just didn’t seem to understand what I was saying!). At first, on Mother’s Day morning, when Mommy started crying, I thought I had done something to make her sad. But she said […]

Look Out, Esther Williams!

Mommy and Daddy took me out to the Ashbury community pool this past week. I’m still working out the kinks to this “swimming” thing, but I had a pretty good time – big cousin Keara went with me to show me the ropes! Since Mommy had to work this weekend ( 🙁 ), Daddy took […]
