Here are a few pictures of what Annikan has been up to this summer! The first one is of Annikan in the sprinkler. The next is of him fingerpainting. He got a new bike seat and helmet. He loves it. He says "I want bike", then says "my helmet?". It is so cute. He also likes to have his picture taken and will say " I want picture" and then, of course not understanding the camera isn't always at the ready will squat down by something and put on his cheese smile. He is really starting to string a lot of words together. It is really amazing how quickly he is coming up with new sentences. He likes to ask Lucy (our cat) "Eat? Yes?" then tell me that she needs food, or try to fill her bowl by himself. It doesn't matter if she is in near her food, or out in the yard. Last night he was running around the house with his blanket wrapped around his shoulders like a cape. We said look at Anni the amazing super hero. Then we realized that he has no idea what a superhero is or that he had on a cape. He has yet to watch any television. They have it on when he is at day care, about 10-15 hours a week, but they say he never watches it. He is too busy playing on the slide or basketball. His new love is the hot wheel cars they have. I have yet to buy him any. He makes a big enough mess without all those cars to pick up, plus it gives him something to look forward to at daycare.
His hair is getting so long, we are going for the surfer look. He is getting a tan, which is cute. We are thinking of trimming his hair, not cut it, or take any off the bang. We don't want him to look like he has a mullet, just long and shaggy all over. From the photos you can tell my dark haired boy is no longer dark haired. He is a full fledge blonde. Chris had blonde hair, like Annikan's, until he was about 4 then it turned browinsh red. His eyes are blueish, greyish green, with a hint of brown. They are beautiful. Chris and I are just so amazed at how beautiful he is. I know we are of course bias, but just look at him!
Well, enough for now, enjoy your summer!
