Annette

Annette is a happy, healthy 15 month old. It seems like she has been a baby for a long time since she is still bald, chubby, cuddly and not really walking. When Josiah was her age he was running circles around us and could not stop moving if he tried. So we are certainly not in a rush for our baby girl to grow up.

- really, just men in general
- music, pop music will get her grooving
- waving to people we pass
- Dogs, she goes nuts, starts panting and repeating "Dogga" 3oo times
- water
- sand
- smearing yogurt, spaghetti, (fill in the blank) all over her body
- food of any kind, the only foods she hasn't liked are falafel and Vegemite
- using sign language, especially if it gets her more food
- cleaning up toys
- flashing big smiles
- cruising on her little car
- sleeping in her crib, just say "nigh, nigh" and her thumb goes in and her eyelids shut
