Since I have not been very good about blogging for quite some time now I figured I would do a post on what Anne Morgan has been up to over the last few months. She is so much fun these days. She has the cutest little (actually quite big!) personality and keeps us laughing. You just never know what she is going to say. She can still be shy around new people and/or new things but once she is comfortable she is hysterical. This summer was full of first and here are some of them.
Her very first movie in the theater. We went to a morning matinee with Allie and her mommy and brother. We were actually there early but the line was so long we didn't get into the movie until after it started and had to sit in the very front. We didn't last the whole time. I think if we had better seats and had been there from the beginning we would have stayed the whole time. They had fun nonetheless!
My little pirate! Playing at Grammie's.
And I am one proud mommy when it comes to the next several pictures. My little girl water skied this summer! Yep! She's always been athletic and I knew she could do it if she would try it, but getting her to try ANYTHING (food, activity, ANYTHING) is always "iffy" She can't feel like you are coaxing her to do it. Anyways, she watched her cousins on the ski trainer and we asked if she wanted to try and she said yes. I still didn't think she would actually try it but SHE DID! And she did great! She stood right up and stayed up until we finally just stopped. She was so proud and so was I! I always loved water skiing so I am super excited that she seems to have picked it up too! I can't even describe the feeling I had when she was out there. My heart was leaping out of my chest!
Ready to go!
I just liked these pictures...
My two girls
And tennis. I have always loved tennis too and she seems to already be into it as well. Even as a baby I remember that she would sit in front of the tv and watch it. She has been asking for a tennis racquet for a while and we finally got her one...along with a pretty cute little outfit too. :)
Then it was time for ballet! She has talked about ballet all summer knowing that she was going to be doing it with her best friends. Unfortunately she missed the first class b/c Mommy and Daddy were in Aruba and the next week we messed up by going to the bathroom when everyone walked into class. By the time she joined them she already felt left out so she had a complete meltdown. Later she felt bad that she missed out and couldn't wait to try again the next week. The next week was a total 180 from the previous week and she hasn't looked back. She LOVES it! I knew she would. This week when the door to her classroom opened she was the first one in there. She ran in before I could even stand up, turned around, blew me a kiss and said "bye mom!" I can't wait for her recitals!
Sneaking a picture through the window. You aren't supposed to peek but I couldn't help it!
Her first day of 3 year old preschool. She loves school but I was nervous how she would do getting started this year b/c it would be new teachers. Well she has done great and loves her class and teachers. She is going 3 mornings a week this year. I think she would love to go every day but mommy isn't ready for that yet. There is plenty of that in the future.
This past weekend we took the kids to Atlanta Friday night to go to their first Braves game. We watch the Braves 5 nights a week at home. We don't miss a game. She has done the tomahawk chop for quite some time now but this time she got to do it live and in person! She and Jason had THE best time at the game. It was so fun but man was it hot and humid!
She got a tomahawk at the game and slept with it that night when we got home. :)
We went back to Atlanta Saturday for the Auburn game. She has been to Auburn games before but as far as "firsts" go, this was her first time in the Georgia Dome. That's the only reason we all went...because it was indoors! Here she is with Gik going to get a treat...can you tell she was having fun?!
The only thing I wish I could show you on here is how precious and sweet she is with her little brother. She loves him so much and really is sweet to him the large majority of the time. She gets so excited when he wakes up from his nap or if we need to wake her up I have Jason do it b/c she gets so excited. They are precious together! I just love listening to her talk to him. It is adorable. She is excited about the new baby brother coming soon too. And by soon I mean within 10 weeks! Eek!
She is growing up so fast it is hard to keep up. She continues to amaze us each and every day. I cannot even begin to imagine life without her!
