Darla took Anna on a trip to Canada to “experience a real winter” and they got what they were looking for. Check out the pictures by clicking the photo above.

I made the mistake of teaching Anna her parents’ real names a few days ago. I thought it might be a good idea in case we ever got separated and someone was helping her look for us. Instead, she now uses these names to get our attention. Check out the video to see her in action.

Anna has been begging us all day to get a “hoop”.  I gave her a baseball after our weekend away from her and she’s been wanting to play basketball with it.

Basketball isn’t a foreign game to her.  Our chiropractor has a hoop mounted up high and Anna wants to dunk every time we go there.

After work today, we went out and bought Anna a Nerf hoop and mounted it to her crib.  We nearly had to force her to eat dinner because she wanted to go to her room and play with it.

Anna had lots of fun at her first baseball game ever. The timing was a little off because it was her nap time when the game started, but she was happy for most of it. She looks pretty tired in the photo above (taken after the game). Click it to see the rest of the photos.

Darla got a sweet deal on a San Diego resort, so we spent the weekend there. We had planned on staying at the resort and going to the beach, but the crappy weather changed our minds. We went to Sea World on Saturday and Anna loved it.

Canada is cold.  We’ve been told that it’s the coldest winter in 20+ years.  Lucky us!

Anyway, we’re surviving and trying to keep warm.  We’ve met lots of family for the first time, including Darla’s birth dad and his wife.  There are plenty of pictures in the Flickr set.

Our family photographer Chalice Leaman did a photo shoot with us at Mesa Arts Center recently.  We think they turned out great.  Click the photo to see the full set.

Anna loves to spend time outside. Fortunately, the weather has been good enough for her to be able to do that.

Sick of having old men think Anna is a boy (although, their wives often correct them), we decided to dye her hair to a more girlie color. It’s not ideal, but it should keep them from saying “What a big boy!” and “How old is he?”.

For those with kids that are thinking about dyeing their hair, there is a kid-safe, no-tears brand of hair dye called Loopflairs. That’s what we used.

Anna found some cute hats at Old Navy and we tried them on until she got sick of them. Click the photos for larger versions on Flickr.

Bonus video of Anna after the jump!

Anna took her first steps this past weekend.  The video is below.

Darla had Anna dancing and singing tonight.  I think the video is hilarious, but you can judge for yourself.

Annaleigh did very well on her first plane ride. She was quiet and happy until the last 10 minutes or so. She was having a problem popping her ears on our descent, so she was pretty fussy. Once we landed, she was just fine. A lot of people complimented us on how well-behaved our daughter was. It was a huge relief to Darla and I. Both of us had been stressing out about this for the last couple weeks.

I’ve been spending a lot of time with my cousin Abby lately. She’s so fun to play with.

Check out some of the great photos that Mommy and Daddy took of the two of us. There’s even a video of her pushing me in one of her doll strollers.

Yes, we put her in the chair. No, we didn’t buy it. Maybe when she’s older and can sit up on her own without falling over.

Anyway, there are lots of new photos in the Flickr gallery.

If you think those are cute, you should check out the videos of me on the right.

I had new pictures taken. Mommy and Daddy keep saying that I look really cute.

It’s hard to believe that one month has gone by already. It seems like just yesterday I was being born.

Let me show you how I celebrated my one-month birthday.

Darla and I have been taking a lot of pictures of our little Annaleigh lately. Check out the photo gallery (newest photos first).

On Sunday, October 21st at 4:22 p.m., Darla and I welcomed our daughter Annaleigh Kate into the world. She was 6lb 8oz, 19 inches long, and has ten fingers and ten toes.

It was a very emotional experience, as most of you can probably imagine. Here are some photos taken over the recent days.
