Now that Annette is 8 months old, she's practicing feeding herself. Here she is with some of her finger foods. She likes biscuits and broccoli the best so far :-)

She's starting to stand while holding onto something very nicely - we got her a table toy with legs on it that she can stand and play with.

Yesterday we went to a barbecue at a neighbor's house. Annette enjoyed some time in the baby pool,

balanced on a beach ball,

and played inside with the big kids :-)
