My big helper!




  Annabelle has a new favorite thing. Helping me cook. I don't mind, I like the company. It all started one day i was making dinner and she seemed to be getting into EVERYTHING!!! It was driving me crazy, so what do I do? Plop her on the counter next to me. She thought it was the coolest thing ever. The only problem is that now when I'm chopping something, or I am handeling raw meat, she tries to squeeze in between me and the counter, to get my attention so I will put her up on the counter. Its so fun to me that loves "cooking" so much! I guess she is my kid!

  Yesterday she and I were watering the plants and trees in the front yard, and she was helping by holding my hand with her right, and playing in the water with her left. It was such a good experience for both of us. I know that might seem silly, but I feel that we have been growing closer these past few days. It makes me happy. 
This was when it rained this summer. Not from her playing in the hose. 


 She has a few new words that she says and recognizes the objects: Frog, Croak, Yogurt, Delicious ("Licious"),  Flower and today we were walking up and down the sidewalk waiting for daddy to come home and she bends over, pats the ground and says "sidewalk"!!! Can you believe it?!?! I was shocked at how smart she is! Has anyone else had something like that happen? 

She is such a big helper!! And I love her!

That is cute that she likes to cook, she definitely is your child!! Way to go on having 'sidewalk' in her vocab! Lately, I've been learning that the funnest thing about being a mommy are the surprises!
