Our Little (big) Girl's Stats
So we decided to go ahead with the flu vaccine this year. My deciding factor was that Brett just got it and was fine, and she is in daycare (3days a week for 2hours). While we were there I asked if they would weigh her.
She weighed in at 23lbs 4oz (10 1/2months old) at her 9month appointment she was 21lbs!
New things about Annika:
She has 6 teeth
She is walking like crazy and she never stops
She knows if she gets past the gate into the hallway to run away from daddy.
She says dada all the time (but not just to brett)
Here favorite toy right now is a small ball that she carries everywhere she walks
She loves to point at things
She likes to carry her truck with the cow driver and throw it on the couch.
SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT (I probably shouldn't type this but I am so happy).
Her bed time is 6:30pm (she decided this) and she wakes about 6:30 or 7:00am.

Apple Annie's Pumpkin Patch
We decided to go to Apple Annie's Pumpkin Patch today! It was super chilly when we left (47 degrees) so we were wearing sweaters and such. To bad when we got there and started walking around we got pretty hot. We had a wonderful time, and Annika liked picking her pumpkin out. She wanted to walk everywhere and to not be held. To bad she got so excited when she saw the pumpkins or the hay that she would try and run and then would fall. This ended up in the gum of one of her front teeth now being purple and has a cut on it. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to be bothering her at all. I also went a bit picture happy as you can see below.
Here is a description of where we went today.
For some reason I can't get it to copy into the post, so here is the link.

Annika's NOT Halloween Costume
This is NOT Annika's halloween costume. I ordered it to late and they only had the 6-12month and 2-3T size so I just ordered both. Well the 6-12 was WAY to small. The 2-3T as you can see is to big, but it is still super cute(we are sending the small one back and keeping this big one for next year). Keep an eye on the blog for what Annika is going to really be for Halloween. We should have that here in a few days. So Annika won't be a Giraffe for Halloween.

Last Time with my Grandpa
Grandpa on Sunday (September 7th), he passed away on Wednesday(september 10th).
Grandma and I.
Annika, being her great self on the plane. Thankfully, they had an open seat so she was able to ride in her carseat. My arms were super happy :)
So here are a few pictures from the last time that we saw my grandpa. He didn't want me to take his picture, and of course it's not great, but I'm glad I did.

A fallen HERO.
As most of you all know I belong to a group (online) of military wife's, fiance's, girlfriends, which has been a wonderful support system throughout the years. I haven't met in person many of these wonderful women, but I still call them my friends. Most of us have known eachother for 4years or so. We talk about anything from venting, to what should I do about this or information about the military.
Unfortunatly, last night there was a post about 'I need your prayers'. One of our fellow members lost her fiance last week, while he was serving our country. If you could keep her (her family) and his family in your prayers that would be wonderful.
Captain Michael Joseph Medders, US ARMY, will be returned home tomorrow, Tuesday September 30, 2008. The plane carrying his casket is scheduled to arrive at Lorain County Regional Airport, 44054 Russia Road, Elyria, OH at 12:37PM. Members of his family will meet the plane escorted by US ARMY Honor Guard and US ARMY Pallbearers. The Family and hearse carrying the casket will be escorted by numerous Police Departments to The Busch Funeral Home at 163 Avon-Belden Road, Avon Lake.The public is invited to line the route that his casket procession will take from the airport to the Busch Funeral Home. (See routes below) Mayor of Avon Lake Karl Zuber and Mayor of Elyria William Grace have both stated “Our communities will come together to show our respect for the tragic loss of Captain Medders, please join your fellow neighbors in showing signs of support lining the funeral processional routes Tuesday and Friday this week.”Visitation for Captain Medders will be at Avon Lake High School, 175 Avon-Belden Road, from 5-8pmWednesday, October 1, 2008 and 3-5pm & 6-9pm Thursday, October 2, 2008.Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph Church, 32929 Lake Road, Avon Lake, OHFriday, October 3 at 10:00am.Captain Michael Joseph Medders will be buried with full military honors at St. Joseph Cemetery.
Please keep all the men and women who fight for our country close in your thoughts and prayers.

9 Month Stats
We went to Annika's 9 month appointment today and all looks good.
Her Stats:
27" Long
21lbs.
She has her 2 bottom teeth and her top tooth has broken through the gum and it looks like the one right next to that is trying to come in. (so I haven't really been getting any sleep to speak of as last night she was up every 3hrs. We can hope that we can get some more sleep tonight.
