Sunday night, while eating dinner, Annika was standing on a stool at Aunt Kim's kitchen island. Don't worry, I was standing right next to her with my hand on her back. Anyway, Annika was eating chopped up pieces of strawberries. When they would get too small or too slimy, Annika couldn't pick them up with her fingers. Being the smart little girl that she is, she bent over and sucked them up with her mouth! It was the funniest thing ever. She did the same thing last night. I was eating a grilled chicken leg for dinner and I had put small pieces of chicken on the coffee table for Annika to eat. The chicken was too slimy and flat for her to pick up so she bent over and sucked them off the table. She cracks me up.

I don't know if I've told you, but my daughter has a favorite band. Kris discovered this last week. Every time this band comes on the radio, or computer playlist, or on MTV (on the rare occasions the tv's on), Annika starts dancing by bouncing up and down. Who is her favorite band? The Foo Fighters. Yep, the Foo Fighters. My nine month old daughter loves the Foo Fighters. I don't know what to say about that.

Kris called me at work yesterday to ask if I'd like to have lunch with him. Of course I would! Turns out we had a showing yesterday so Kris and Annika needed to leave the house. He called Jon & Michelle to ask if they could go over to their house. Jon is a teacher so he's off work for the summer and Michelle had taken this week off. They live in a nice complex with a playground and pool so Kris and Annika were going to go swimming. I ended up bringing lunch to them. It was convenient since Jon & Michelle live close to my work. Annika looked so cute when I got there. She was in the pool in her floating device (click here for picture) with a hat on her head. Kris forgot to grab the camera on his way out of the house so I don't have any pictures of this. Darn!

When Kris got home yesterday, he threw all the wet swimwear into the bathtub to dry. Last night, Annika and I were in the bathroom so I could grab something. Then I ran to the office to get something else before running back into the bathroom. I left Annika in the bathroom while I did this. When I came back into the bathroom, I saw Annika going head first over the side of the tub. She was going after the hat Kris had draped over the spout. I yelled Annika but I was too late to grab her. She landed on the swimming suits in the tub and was just fine. She looked at me like "What, I was just getting this hat." It scared me though! The girl has no fear.
