Toy Treasure Trove

Anabelle says: Always make sure all your toys are within arm's reach.

Reading On The Go

Anabelle loves reading so much that she always makes sure to bring a book with her when she's traveling.

"Wow! I Love How They Decorated The Walls Here!"

So what was Anabelle's favorite exhibit at the museum? All the mirrors. As Mommy remarked, she's definitely got the Tuong gene.

Playdate / Competition

Anabelle went on a playdate with Alexander last Friday to the Children's Museum. Xander and Anabelle hung out in the "Habitot" area, where infants and toddlers can run around and explore different areas. Here's a picture of Xander literally crawling circles around Anabelle. (Seriously, Xander is like an Olympic-level crawler. Plus he can go up and down stairs like nobody's business while Anabelle is still pretty shaky when it comes to stairs: She usually makes it up a step or two then turns to us to pick her up like she's gotten herself stuck in a situation she doesn't know how to get out of. So, of course, what did her parents do when she got home from the museum? Make her practice on those stairs so she can catch up with Xander!!*)

[Just kidding. We don't want to pressure Anabelle about anything. And I know she's looking forward to her next outing to the museum with Xander.]

Genius Baby

She's so talented she can even read upside-down! Wow, my daughter is smart!

Always Prepared

Birthday Bash

Even though we were celebrating the February birthdays of Mommy and Grandpa, somehow Anabelle still ended up being the center of attention.

Happy Birthday, Ba!

Singing

Anabelle sings along with The Beatles' "Hey Jude" while watching "Elmo's World."

Happy Thanksgiving!

"What do you mean it's Valentine's Day already? I haven't gotten my parents anything yet!"

(That's OK, Anabelle: You're the best Valentine's Day gift any parents could ever ask for!)

On Her Heels

Uh oh, Anabelle -- Cousin Jack is catching up to you!

9 Months Old!

We'll get the official stats next week when we take her in for her 9-month checkup.

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Sleeping Angel

So cute when she sleeps.

"Damn You, Paparazzo!"

"Give me that camera! Can't a girl have any privacy? I was trying to sleep!"

Drum Full of Fun

Anabelle carries a drum full of toys with her when she travels so she's never bored when the adults do their boring adult stuff.
