Bella's Day at the Zoo

Before we left Georgia, Annabelle started cruising and climbing stairs. She's definitely on the move! She is also experimenting with making other sounds in addition to babbling, such as raspberries, buzzing lips, and blowing on her arm (like when you blow on a kid's belly).


Two little birdies

The last week of May, while Gabi and Martin were at a Wildlife Habitat Summer Camp, we went to Zoo Atlanta with Martin's brother, Aaron. (The birds' nest has been a favorite photo location since big sister was little -- see Gabi in the nest with her friends at 7 months and 14 months and 18 months.)
