Happy Monday to you all. Two weeks until closing day!

Saturday, Kris, Annika and I were out at the new house. Kris was doing some finishing work (installing in-ceiling speakers and transitions between wood and ceramic floors). Annika and I played until Daddy was ready to take window measurements with us. Annika and I went for a walk, played on the newly installed carpeting, went shopping and played on the newly paved driveway outside the house. Annika fell on the driveway and skinned her knee. It didn't seem to bother her though because she got right back up and started running after her toy (a roll of masking tape!).

Saturday night we had dinner with Grandma Lona and Grandpa Dale, Uncle Dusty and Aunt Kim. Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa! Annika was an angel all through dinner. I was worried how she would do. Our dinner reservations were for 7pm and usually between 7 and 8pm is when Annika starts getting tired and fussy and needs to go to bed. Before we left Grandpa Dan's house to head to dinner, Annika was throwing tantrums because she was tired and needed a nap. She didn't nap on the way to dinner, but did rest quietly. I guess that was all she needed. She ate and played all through dinner and was just great. She even made these really goofy faces by sticking her tongue out. Then, she fell asleep in the car on the way home. I was so happy.

Yesterday, we spent the day at Grandpa Dan's house. Annika and I took a nice long nap together in the afternoon. I was exhausted for some reason. Yesterday afternoon, Annika was playing on the floor. She does this rocking thing where she gets on her butt and rocks back and forth on her tailbone. She even makes a "whoa, whoa" sound when she does it. It is just adorable. Anyway, she rocked back a little too far and toppled over on her back. I laughed at her and she looked back at me and smiled. Then, she got up and started rocking again, only to tip over again. I laughed again and she looked back and smiled again. Pretty soon, she realized that tipping over was fun and started sitting up and then falling back on her back over and over and over. Each time I laughed harder and harder. She liked it too and sat up one time just to sit there and chuckle at herself. :)
