Anna Changes Her Mind on Swinging

Anna has revealed to us on more than one occasion her thoughts (dislikes) of certain things... these things at one point or another have included eating vegetables, taking baths, swinging, being told not to play in the dishwasher, playing with a certain black and white ball, and other various odd dislikes.

We believe we have overcome the taking of baths for the time being, where, in an interesting turn of events, she seems to not want to get out of the tub now. We also feel the black and white ball has changed to a 'playable' status. The veggies look like they'll just have to wait (fruit wins out every time), and we're pretty sure she'll always want to play in the dishwasher.

We were unsure about the swinging... every time she would get near one, or we would place her in one, she would express her dislike in the forms of high-pitched screeching and general tear-laden drama. So, this Mother's Day, we decided to go for it again... and apparently, Anna felt giving Mommy the gift of having fun while swinging was the way to go. So, we now have a little girl who likes to swing (for the time being)! Here are shots of the happiness (Mommy and Daddy couldn't be happier either)! Enjoy.

Anna Cuteness

Wanted to share some recent Anna pics from the iPhone...

While Mama was away working on the Swine Flu (on a Sunday!), Daddy Daycare was in full effect, so naturally, we went to Arby's for some lunch due to Dadu's inability to cook really anything (and we were running errands). So this is Anna enjoying some Popcorn Chicken.
Look at those eyes!

And while Mama was also working crazy hours over the past week, Dadu got a chance to pick up Anna from Daycare (not the norm unfortunately!)... and of course, at red lights, Dadu just had to make sure Anna's little eyes were protected!

And of course, bath night is (finally) a fun night in the Fowlkes house... it took some doing, but Anna has come around... but we must prepare with a pre-bath mohawk!

So hopefully that gives you your daily Anna cuteness fix!

Back in Action

The house is feeling a little better these days, so I thought I'd share some more recent pics from Jep & Shelley's wedding in Gainesville, GA. Check over on T&E's blog from some more images... fun was had by all and it was great seeing the family.
