Annette turned 17 months old yesterday!

In preparation for her upcoming role as big sister, we got her a doll stroller which she pushes all around the house. She's also added the word "baby" to her repertoire :-)

With spring having officially arrived in Houston, we've been playing outside every day. This playground at Memorial Park is the perfect size for toddlers.

On Saturday we went to a neighbor's birthday party, which had a cowgirl theme. Annette sat nicely at the table while the bigger kids brought her toys they found in the haystack.

There were even pink ponies to ride! Annette preferred petting them to riding them though, since that was less scary :-)
