The picture in the previous post of AK and Trip reminded me of this picture of me and my little brother with a remote control :)

Antics
The other day I decided to capture some of Anna Kate's typical antics. After a long walk, Trip fell asleep in the stroller. I carried him in and he slept for an hour on the couch while AK "destroyed" around him. She worked on her climbing, stacking, tearing, and yelling skills while he slept peacefully. Oh, what I would give to sleep that hard!
Anna Kate is definitely the child that I know will challenge me in the years to come. She already has such a strong will and determination ... I think these are some character traits I probably possessed (past tense- wink) and I'm sure I will be calling my mom for advice in the future! She is my little mess, and I love every bit of her. I am so amazed at how the Lord created her to learn and discover.
And how about that sweet sleeping boy?! He probably tells me 20 times a day, "Mama, I love you" followed by a big hug.
Life is Sweet :)

Me and My Baby Girl
I am so often behind the camera, that it is rare for me to get a picture with my children. My sister and mom captured these of me and AK last weekend.
Since returning from Missouri, Anna Kate has had a harder time getting to sleep. She has always been so easy to just lay down and leave to fall asleep on her own. Over the weekend, she got into the habit of having me or J hold her until she fell asleep.
First, this seemed like a setback. I kept thinking, I sure hope she gets back into good sleep habits before a new baby comes. But, last night, I was rocking her to sleep - something I never had to do until this week - and it just hit me that even though there will be a new baby soon, right now Anna Kate IS my baby.
So, I just rocked, and rocked, and rocked. And smelled her little baby head, and rubbed her little baby back. And just tried to soak it all in.
Little Stinker
This little stinker requires constant monitoring. We call her "The Destroyer" or just "Danger" because she isn't happy unless she is doing something dangerous or tearing something up! She still doesn't walk, but she sure can climb and loves to see what new things she can stand on.
Her new trick - standing on top of the coffee table :)
