Anaya's 1st Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving Day, we had dinner with the Hubbard Family.

Everyone wants to hold Anaya!

Anaya visting her cousin, Aidan...the look on his face tells me that he knows she's coming...

Playing piano with Aunt Charla and Caleb. 

Playing with Cayleigh.

It might look Anaya is trying to kiss her but, she's actually trying to bite her. 

Anaya made Braydon cry when she tried to bite him.  

Playing with McKenna. 

So pretty!

Anaya Crawls to Kyle

Her crawling gets better and better each day and now she can crawl towards Kyle and me.

Anaya is Crawling!

Anaya crawled forward for the first time last week! I was so excited, I almost cried!

Pooh Walker

I've been really wanting to get Anaya a walker.  Since she loves standing so much, I needed to get her something she could stand in on her own.  Walkers are kind of expensive so, I didn't want to buy one from the store.  I found this pooh walker on Craigslist for $10!  Praise the Lord for Craigslist! 

A visit to Great Grandma Nancy's House

We took Anaya to Muncie to see her Great Grandma, Nancy.  Nancy and Anaya were meeting for the first time and we haven't seen her since before our wedding.  Anaya is Nancy's first great-granddaughter (boys run in the Reed family).

She made her way under Nancy's couch, too!

Her first Halloween

We had no desire to get her a Halloween costume but, I thought it would be funny to put Kyle's afro on her and she looked so cute!  I think she can definitely make that look work!

She's on the move!

She was crawling backwards in the living room and ended up underneath the couch.

She looks just like her daddy in this picture!

Anaya is 6 months!

It's hard to believe Anaya is almost 7 months old!  She is growing so fast!  She now weighs about 14 pounds (which is a little small for her age) but she's growing just fine.  It seems like she does something new everyday.  She can hold her own bottle, sit up by herself and now she's working on crawling.  At this point she can only go backwards but, she knows how to get to where she wants to go.  Recently, she started saying 'da-da' and she started clapping yesterday.  She truly makes life exciting for us.  I wake up every morning wondering what she's going to discover during the day.  She's sleeping very well through the night.  This is mostly attributed to the very few naps she takes during the day.  She has too much going on to take a nap...she never wants to miss a thing!

Anaya Meets Her New Cousin, Aidan Christopher!

Aidan Christopher Reed made his debut on August 17th, 2008.

Whoa! Look at all those babies!

Caleb getting acquainted with Anaya.  He's even trying to share is binky!

It's so hard getting a good picture of Anaya nowadays.

She's always has her fingers in her mouth!

She took a break from gnawing on her hand to give me a great big smile! :)

Fun at the Fair

Kyle and I took Anaya, Regan and Isaiah to the State Fair. We had alot of fun and Anaya was awake almost the whole time we were there. It was the perfect day to be at the fair. It was sunny but it wasn't hot.

While Regan and Isaiah were watching the tiger show, we stopped to take some pictures.

I was so happy to see that she was looking at the camera and smiling! She's too cute!!

Photo Shoot

I had been really wanting to get professional pictures taken of Anaya and I finally did! Here are some pictures from our photo session.
