A Beautiful Baby Ballerina

Annalisa is the cutest baby girl in the world! ( I know, I have probably said that before, but wait until you see her!). She belongs to Shannon and David. Shannon lived across the street from us and she was the prettiest girl in my son Michael's class in High School. So it would make sense that she would give birth to the most beautiful baby girl. Annalisa is also the baby with the chubbiest arms and legs. I mean, did you know that baby arms come in 5 segments? So these pictures are the result of Annalisa's first photoshoot by Todd & Barbara. She has had plenty of pictures taken of her in her short 7 months of life. Her Grandpa Reed and Gramma Marcia take great photos and put them on Flickr for us all to see. She lives up in Portland, so we don't get to see her in person as often as we'd like. But we take what we can get when Shannon comes to visit.


"Just watch what I can do to this pink peony!"

"See? That's what those big flowers are for!"

"They are just a nuisance here!"

"See? I don't need no stinkin' flowers. I AM the flower!"


Just look at these arms. Don't you just want to eat them? Look at all the segments! They are so precious!

And the wrists!! wow . Shannon promises she didn't put rubber bands on her wrists. And look at the little dimples on her hands. Don't you just love them?

And the same goes for the legs and feet! More little sausages and rubber band ankles! Wow!
soooo soft and squeezable. What a little doll!
