Annabel Turns One! (Greg turns 35!)

Our baby girl is turning into a full-fledged toddler. She "cruises" on the furniture, says a few words (e.g. mama, dada, all done, bye-bye, and ra-ra, which I take to mean Clara), and eats like crazy. At her one-year well-baby visit, she weighed 23.5 lbs., measured 30.5 inches tall, and made googly eyes at the young student shadowing Dr. Danielson. For her birthday we celebrated with Mema and Papa over Annabel's favorite: pizza, salad, devil's food cake with orange-cream cheese frosting (with a cup of pumpkin puree sneaked in) and vanilla ice cream.

We're also very proud of Greg. He is now old enough to run for president, and if he were ever to get pregnant (a la Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Twins"), he'd qualify for a geriatric pregnancy. Way to go, Greg!
