Oh my Annabelle!

Can I just say how much we all love this girl?  She has brought so much happiness and laughter into our family.  And it has been so fun to watch her little personality emerge, especially in the last six months.  She is sweet and loving, but stubborn as a mule and has the "Johanson wing-ding" trait. Heaven help us with those!

She LOVES to wear tutus!  We were at the store last week and she saw a swimsuit with a tutu and she got all excited "tutu, tutu"! She is such a girlie girl!  In the bottom picture she wanted to wear both her birthday tutu and her Halloween tutu.  Apparently a girl can never have too many tutus!

She LOVES to squeeze into the smallest space possible and must have her "joos" to go with it.  This is her favorite ride around the house.

She LOVES her babies with a true mother's heart.  She is very affectionate with her babies and is always concerned where their "baa" is so that she can feed them.  I can already tell that she will be a very nurturing and loving person.

She LOVES to get dressed up.  Her patent leather Mary Janes are her "go-to" shoe everyday.  On Sunday mornings you can almost always find her in Rachel's bathroom sitting on the toilet watching Rachel get ready for church.  And she always wants Rach to put lipstick on her. Then she looks in the mirror and just smiles like "Yeah, I look good."

She has discovered how to get to new heights.  Nothing is too small to stand on as long as it gets her higher than the ground.  I have even caught her attempting to stand on a glass mason jar in the kitchen. Yep.  Her usual "go-to" step stool is her plastic toy/storage box.  She empties her toys and carries it into the kitchen every. single. morning.

She LOVES to dance.  This girl can raise the roof like no other 19 month old can!  She loves to dance to "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, "On top of the world" by Imagine Dragons, "Roar" by Katy Perry just to name a few. She knows good music when she hears it.

I haven't gotten a picture of her yet, but she LOVES her jewelry.  My mom sent her all of her Mardi Gras beads and Annie takes them off and on all day.  Like I said she's my girlie girl!

We are so thankful she is in our family!

Friday Favorite

I know I am so far behind this wagon, but my "new" favorite show is....

Yep. That's right.  Thank you Netflix for coming to the rescue when nothing else is on!  I am hooked!  Love me some Jack Bauer!

If you haven't ever seen it (which probably you have because as I said, I'm late joining this wagon), then you must!
