June!

June has been a pretty chill month for the Lovetts. We've been having a lot of fun at home and getting settled into our new home, and mostly just relaxing and spending time with our friends here in Champaign! Not much else to say except that we're surviving the heat one day at a time and Anna is growing so fast. She is quite the crawler now, and loves to explore all day! She is in to everything! She's also started pulling up onto furniture and becoming more interested in her world every day.

Following mom into the kitchen

Father's Day--Anna LOVES Alexander and gets super excited when she hears him coming in the door from work.

Loves playing with pretty necklace from Aunt Stephanie

fun toy!

Teeth!
Other fun things:

  • Loves cherries, strawberries, and bananas
  • Eats bites of pretty much anything off of mom or dad's forks
  • Squeals with excitement at the sight of Benjamin or Levi (4 and nearly 2, our neighbors)
  • Loves books
  • Claps when we say rhymes or "good job"
  • Interested in putting things into and taking things out of containers systematically. 
  • Has 3 teeth! Her two bottom central incisors and her left top lateral incisor. 
  • Likes the pool and loves it even more if there are little kids there to watch. Doesn't like the way mom smells after the pool and won't nurse until after a nap and mom takes a shower so she doesn't smell like chlorine.
  • Favorite toys are: stuffed lion, peanut butter jar (empty) with a ball in it, pink dog, and random household items including a baster, oatmeal containers, drip pan, and aluminum foil roll (makes her voice sound cool when she talks into it)
  • Is still afraid of the vacuum, loud sneezes and coughing, and dogs when they open their mouths and pant.
  • Dislikes: getting her face washed, going to bed, being left alone in a room, and getting her favorite toys taken away from her (usually keys, sunscreen, and yesterday, a jalepeno at the grocery store. yeah. that was my baby.)
