It's hard to believe that Annika is already 6 months old. We've really enjoyed the last month. She is sitting, babbling, giggling and getting her hands on everything in sight. Last night we introduced carrots to mixed reviews. It is so exciting to watch her discover the world around her.
Every week she seems to have a new facial expression to share with us. This week she's moved from a wide-open mouthed smile to a silly tight-lipped grin. Here are a few photos of our little grinning sitter.
This week we are also excitedly awaiting news of Annika's new cousin who is scheduled to be delivered Friday morning. Branden's sister Jody is expecting and we can't wait to find out whether it will be a little boy or a little girl.
It is a summer tradition for my friend Courtney and I to go antiquing at the Allegan antique fair the last sunday of the summer months. Today Annika came along for a girls afternoon, enjoying both her first antiquing trip as well as the last fair of this season. The September antique fair is one of my favories because many of the booths merchandise their goods with autumn decor. The cool morning, hint of color in the trees and plump pumpkins put me in the mood for the changing seasons. This coming week may call for some homemade soup and apple cider.
