A Girl Gone Wild






Hello family and friends!! Maybe you remember me??
I used to be this sweet, little, innocent baby, and now I
have morphed into a real-life, wrecking machine.
Give me three minutes in any room in the house
and I will have a. all the toilet paper unraveled from a roll
b. every article of clothing, diapers, and shoes pulled out of
my dressers c. all books, toys, and drawing materials scattered about
(and may even tattoo myself while I am at it-as evidenced in the first pic!)
Enjoy my pics and come visit me on the beach.
Luv, Ani
It has been four months since the last post so there is quite a back log of
photos. So far summer has been quite a treat
(at least for Anya and Dad- B is in her peak work season), and you
can tell she may be spending a little too much time with Daddy
Here are a couple examples: 1. She gets close to a tree and
sticks her belly out pretending to pee standing up. 2. After a big bite
of food she opens her mouth and says Ahhh for all to see.
3. If Anya approves of you she will come up to the side of you and
pat your back a couple times (Its really cute). Very guy-like.

Anyways, give a call if you want more stories and ask for Rebecca-
she is much better at talking on the phone.

Enjoy your summer,
B, E, and A

***News Flash***
Ani just went poop for the first time today in her potty and has used it
to pee for three days in a row. Daddy day care ain't that bad!

Yes, it has been four months since the blog was updated.
