(To give credit where credit is due, this title is a quote from my sister.)

Wow, our baby is growing up too fast!  Look at all the things she can already do at three (almost four) months:

As we mentioned before, she has learned to roll from her back to her tummy and is getting quite good at it.

She’s also getting much better at grabbing hold of things intentionally, like toys, my hair, her feet, etc.  And also sticking whatever she grabs into her mouth.  She discovered her feet just a couple of days ago.  Don’t you wish you could do this?

Sitting up!  Granted this only lasts a few seconds, this time long enough for two quick pictures and then she was on the floor, but she’s really doing it by herself!

Standing!!?! Slow down there, girl!  She wanted to stand up pretty much ever since she was born, and she’s getting very steady and strong, although she still needs support and a little help with balance.  This particular time I moved too far away and she fell over and let us know she didn’t appreciate that.  A strong reminder to mommy that she isn’t that old yet!

I have some more fun pictures of Annie from more than a month ago that I will hopefully post sometime.  Right now I’m blaming computer problems for the fact that I haven’t posted them yet.  And some fun trips that have generated more fun pictures that we will hopefully get to before too long…

We went to the cabin again for the 24th of July holiday.  (For those not from Utah, the 24 of July was the day that the pioneers entered the Salt Lake valley in 1847, many businesses give it as a holiday and there are parades and fireworks, it is similar to the 4th of July.)

We saw some moose again on this trip but they were a lot more friendly.  We also attempted to take a big family picture, but I was using a remote control and I forgot my tripod mounting shoe so it could be better.

Anyway here are some pics from that trip:

Carina wanted a picture with the moose, unfortunately it is a little washed out, but you can tell it is Carina with a moose.

It has been a while since I have posted.  We have been pretty busy going places and having fun.  But things are starting to slow down a little, so I’m getting around to sorting out the good pictures from the bad.

I’ll be posting a few more pictures in the next week or so, so don’t worry, if I told you that I would post that picture on our blog, it is coming, just slowly.

We went up to Laura’s Haws Grandparents cabin for their "workday".  There were some choice photo opertunities I thought I would share:

I woke up early and found this moose near the cabin.  I followed him for quite a while, eventually he didn’t mind if I got close enough with my telephoto lens.

This photo is 5 photos stitched together.  Click on it for the big version.

This photo was taken after almost everyone had gone to bed.  Click on it to see it big, you can see the stars, cabin, trees, etc.  I think it is a really cool picture.
