Smiles are free!

Smiles!

(Almost 5 months old!)

Well, for those of you who have been patiently awaiting a picture of Annie smiling today is your (and our) lucky day! Annie was a happy little monkey today and was full of smiles and giggles. Her latest favourite thing to do is to jump in her jumper. We actually have two now--one for when we travel and she is in love with them. The new one looks like an airplane so Mason is happy too as it is setting the stage for her love of flying.



Annie will happily jump in her jumper for hours each day. She cries when she has to be taken out of it and she squeals each morning when she comes down the stairs and sees it. I am in love with her jumper too as it allows me to have my hands free to eat a warm meal or answer the phone, check my emails etc while she is safe and happy. Lately I have also been able to cook dinner for 3 days in a row too...Mason keeps joking that I've been kidnapped or something and replaced with a homemaker. HA! I am just not as exhausted as with Annie bouncing away for literally hours each day I am a bit more awake come dinner time. We are already dreading the day when she no longer is in love with the jumper, but I guess by then she'll have moved on to something equally as fun and exciting.



This past week we've been Skyping a lot with friends and family, if any of you are on skype add us so we can all talk. The best part is Annie jumping in the background while I talk to friends and family, they too think it's adorable. Infact Auntie M has whole conversations with Annie while she giggles, squeals and jumps away. It makes us all laugh. I love that we are all able to keep in touch with family and allow Annie to see and hear everyone. Isn't technology wonderful?!
