Happy Halloween! Our little ballerina will be greeting all our trick-or-treaters tonight with me. I'll be dressed up as a 1950's era mom (in my knee length dress with the flared skirt).

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Saturday was a busy day for Annika and I. We went and had portraits taken in Annika's ballerina costume. The girl would not smile to save her life. So, I have pictures (thank goodness they were free) of her in a pile of leaves with a sourpuss face on. It's really quite cute, actually. Of course, I would say that. Could she be anything but cute? After pictures and shopping, we headed to little Emma's birthday tea party. It was quite fun dressing up and acting all proper and lady-like. Annika behaved beautifully too. You hardly knew she was there she was so quiet. Of course, that was until we were getting ready to go so I took her out of her booster seat. Then she was off to explore and get in trouble. Luckily there were many hands to watch her while I packed everything up. And to show just how small a world it really is, when Annika and I walk into the tea house in St. Paul on Friday, who do we see but a Pampered Chef friend of mine from Burnsville and her daughter. Too funny!

Yesterday we had a nice relaxing day at home. We watched football (miserable Vikings!) and played and took long, peaceful naps (both Annika and I!). I also got a bit of cross-stitching done. I'm still working on Annika's Christmas stocking and I don't get much time to work on it so I'm always thankful when Kris is home so we can share the parenting and household duties and I get some to work on it.

Yesterday I was poking around in Annika's mouth and found her first molar poking through! That may have been why she took a longer than usual nap yesterday and why she's been waking up once or twice during the night lately. Other than that, she's been her normal, happy self.

And she's added words to her vocabulary. She can now say ball and what sounds like wow. She says wow with the correct inflection in her voice and at the right instances. She's just too cute. We're starting to introduce different kinds of balls (like football, soccer ball, basketball, etc) and yesterday I asked Annika where her football was. She found it and brought it over to me! She walked right past the kickball and picked up the football. She's one smart little cookie!
