Annika at 9 months

Her favorite place to be these days.

Sticking her finger in Grandma Z's mouth.

Obviously enjoying her breakfast!

Getting her first electricity lesson from Grandpa Z.

You gotta love the open mouth kiss!

Just like Dad

2008 summer end...

Playing patty-cake.

Our neighbor Eugene reading to Annika.

Grandma Godard reading to Annika.

Annika and Grandma Godard...note her lovely facial wounds. Annika got into her first fight with the sidewalk...you should see the sidewalk!

Annika visiting the Werner's in Chicago.

She LOVES bathtime!

Not digging broccoli!

Sun Prairie Corn Fest

She is very ticklish!

I'm thinking she liked the butter and salt better than the corn.

Not enjoying the tickling anymore.

The latest in the life of Annika...

Annika with her buddy Dane.

Dad dressed me today...don't I look cute?

Ben is really getting into this whole "girl" thing. He and Annika had a tea party!

She loves her bath!

Annika with her buddy Brennan at the pool.

This one didn't quite make it in.

Not quite...maybe next year.

Getting ready to go to the pool.

First time in an outdoor pool and she loved it!

Following in Dad's footsteps.

Annika and her buddy Eden.

She was NOT enjoying this photo shoot at the fair.

Petting (actually squeezing) a chick at the fair.

Trip to the Splash Park!

Mmmm...wood chip. A great chew toy.

Sporting my cute swimsuit from Aliana!

The cement was a bit rough on her knees, so she employed the "crab walk"!

Another update...

Annika's first photoshoot by Sarah Maughan!

Annika's first parade on the 4th of July!
