First time in the bumbo ~3.5 months:

Looking at the Nijntje Mobile, 4 months:

Sunday morning - reading books with dad.

Happy 2nd Birthday Andi!

Her some short videos from her birthday.

Opening her presents:

A doodle pad!

Climbing in a chair at the pool:

Taking care of baby Rose and putting her in her new doll stroller!

Blowing out the candle on her birthday cake!

Going for a family swim.

Sunday night we went swimming together and we had so much fun. I only have pictures/videos of Andi in the shallow end in the beginning, but she had a blast playing with a ball in the deep end, jumping off the side into the water, and even going down the slide for the first time! I don't know what she loves more though, the actual swimming, or just her swimsuit! As soon as she sees it, she starts singing "swimsuit, swimsuit, swimsuit!" and wants to wear it right away, and run through the house in excitement :)

Playing with the fountains in the shallow end:


She kept trying to stick her head in the fountain :)

Christmas present - My own kitchen!!

The summer after Andi was born I found this wood kitchen at a garage sale, and couldn't leave it. It has been waiting in the closet for a time that she'd be old enough to play with it, and now we finally took it out for her Christmas present!

Playing with some of the felt food I made...orange slices, pancakes and eggs, and cookies!

Cookies in the oven:

Playing with the microwave:

Rennen, rennen, rennen....

(running, running, running!)

Playing outside before it got dark :) Running! She was having so much fun! Of course by the time I got the camera out to take videos some of the fun had passed, and some whining started...but still :)
