Firsts

 Annalise is really growing up and seems to have new firsts everyday.  She is now quite the little walker.  She stills falls down a bit but can easily cross entire rooms.  She is so proud of her accomplishments and after walking across a room she will giggle and clap her hands.  Anna also has quite the temper and throws tantrums on a regular basis.  She gets very mad when someone says no or doesn't allow her to have exactly what she wants when she wants it.  Some of this is just normal frustration on not being able to communicate exactly what she wants and some of it is teething.  She has got two teeth that have popped through and some spots that look like more are coming.  She got to have her first ziploc with snacks this week.  Instead of just throwing them everywhere she will sit and eat them pretty well.

 I have been leery of crayons because she stills puts everything in her mouth but we have been working with her (and watching closely) and she was ready for her first coloring book.  She is fascinated with coloring and likes to pick up each crayon and use it and then put it in a neat pile and pick a new color.  She mostly just makes little marks but she is having fun with it.  With general conference this weekend she got to have a lot of practice:)
