Welcome to Annabella's Web Site

Well, I found out that mommy is giving me a little sister. Gabriella Kathleen is due to arrive on St Patrick's Day...which is 3 days away!! Aunt Terri is already hard at work on Gabriella's babyhomepage and will be at the hospital on Wednesday with grandma, grandpa and daddy. Mommy's friend Leigh Ann is also supposed to be there.

I'm getting more teeth and am talking more. Jesse doesn't run from me when I try and pet him, but Mew is still skiddish around me. It's going to take some time but I wonder how they'll be with a new baby in the family.,

Aunt Terri is really slacking on my page! I gave her my best puppy dog face to get this background. Aunt Terri doesn't like Valentine's Day...I don't know why though. Enough of that cause I have BIG news...I'M GOING TO BE A BIG SISTER!! Mommy says sometime in March. I can't go to the hospital though since I'm so little...I think Aunt Terri is going to watch me. As long as we can watch SpongeBob and Mickey, I'm happy. My little sister's name is going to be Gabriella Kathleen. Kathleen is after Great-Aunt Kathleen who also is Mommy's godmother. I think Mommy is hoping to have Gabriella on March 24. I haven't been told much...mainly because I get distracted easily when SpongeBob or Mickey Mouse is on the TV. I'll keep you updated.

Happy Easter!!! Today is also when I turn 22 months!! I'm getting so old. :-) Mommy, daddy and I are headed to Grandma and Grandpa Perry's for Easter dinner. I'm not sure where we are going after that. I know that Grandma is planning on going to see Great-Grandma later today. I'm going to Geneva tomorrow to see family that's in town. Jimmy and Carol are from North Carolina. I've never been there but grandma and grandpa say it's beautiful. Maybe I'll get there one day. I'll make sure that Aunt Terri takes pictures and uploads them on to the site. All my love - Annabella

Sorry that there hasn't been any recent updates and/or pictures. Aunt Terri has been so busy with work and her dance lessons that she doesn't get on the computer that often anymore. (In case you are wondering, Aunt Terri helps with updating the page). She promises that she will update more.

As of right now, for a mini update, I recently turned 15 months, I run all over the place but I still only have 2 teeth. Mommy said she saw what she thought was another one poking through the other day. We'll have to see because my gums have been hurting.

Not much else going on but I will definetly have to get on Aunt Terri's case about updating my page!

Well, tomorrow I turn 1!! Gosh, time sure flies when you are having fun. Let's see...anything new. Aunt Terri is teaching me to walk. Everytime I try to sit to crawl, she says "up" and I get up. I do it just to please her. Actually I know that I can't be carried around forever so I'll have to walk sometime. I don't have any teeth yet but my gums hurt...alot. Mommy and grandma both have baby tylenol that they give me. I'll update more after all the partying is done. Grandpa wants me to take a nap. Hugs and Kisses

Well, I made it to my first Easter. I can't believe all the chocolate that I've seen...I don't have teeth yet so I can't have it. The teeth are coming in slowly. I'll make sure to have Aunt Terri put a picture of me and the Easter Bunny and one of me in my Easter dress on here when she gets one. Oh, mommy took me to get my ears pierced. I've started to crawl and can pull myself up. Grandma and Grandpa Perry got me a booster seat that straps to one of the dining room chairs so I can sit a the table like a big girl when I am at their house. Aunt Terri asked me to tell everyone that she's sorry that she hasn't updated the site in a while - with her working and the ball room dance classes she hasn't had time but she promises more updates soon.

Today is mommy's birthday. She's 25 today. I hope she likes her present...I'll let you know. Went to great-grandma's for Thanksgiving. Lot's of fun. Aunt Terri was saying that I was celebrating my 1st Thanksgiving and great-grandma was celebrating her 91st! I'm glad I got to spend Thanksgiving with her. There's a picture on the picture page. Oh - there's a picture of me in my halloween costume too. Must of been a Disney-themed year because my friend Danielle was dressed as Sleeping Beauty!

Yesterday was great-grandma Pauline's 91st birthday. 91!! I'm just waiting to hit 4 months. A bunch of the family got together and had a little party at great-grandma's. It was fun. I met my cousins Brianna and David for the first time. Aunt Arlene kept making me laugh. Great-grandma received alot of flowers. Mommy and I got her some pretty white flowers and a TY Beanie Baby. I got confused though - the birthday cake said "Happy Birthday Dolly", I thought her name was Pauline. Oh well, since I see that this side of the family knows how to throw a get-together, I can't wait until I'm 1!!

I'm getting more and more alert each day. I think I'm able to tell who's who. I see Grandpa Perry almost every day. Grandpa Don and mommy were talking about me going to see great-grandma Pauline on Saturday. Yippie!! I love my family! So many cousins, aunts and uncles...and that's just on mommy's side. Aunt Terri said she'll be posting more pictures soon...I don't see her much because she's always working or at dance class. I know she's going to the fair on Saturday...maybe she'll buy me something :-) Anyways, it's time for a bottle and then a nap, so I'll be going.

Let me think...well, let me start from the beginning. The freak October snow storm is where my story begins. Last October, Buffalo was hit with snow that damaged trees, cut power and gave many people a long weekend. That is when my mommy and daddy found out about me. Mommy was freaked out and didn't know what to do. Grandma and Grandpa Dahlke were here, Grandma and Grandpa Perry were in North Carolina visiting cousins, and I don't know where Aunt Terri was. Mommy decided to keep it a little secret, for a little while anyways. Both sets of grandma parents found out the following week, whereas with Aunt Terri...well, she'll never forget the "Happy Birthday, you're gonna be an Aunt" surprise.
