Annie-Update (18 months)


June, 1998

upd18_00Hello again everyone!!

Annie here. I know what you're all thinkin' - over a month has gone by and I haven't heard from Annie! No need to worry; thanks to Mom and Dad and lots of childproof packaging I'm doin' just great. It is hard to believe but I am already 18 months old.

upd18_01I lead your basic overly-active toddler lifestyle, except I take it to new limits. I am always on the go-go-go and like to leave behind a path of destruction which Mom and Dad (affectionately I'm sure) refer to as 'hurricane Annie'. This drives Mom and Dad (mostly Mom) crazy but that, of course, is my job.

upd18_02I like to play outdoors when the weather is nice. On mornings when I'm up early I walk with Dad and the doggies around the lake. When it's hot I splash in my pool. I also like to swing, ride my bike, play on my slide, and pull my wagon. When I get bored I visit with the neighbors who are always glad to see me.

I can now say several words and am learning more everyday. My favorite is to tell the doggies to 'shut-up' when they are outside barking. I can also say 'mom', 'da', 'sis', 'dog', 'ball', ... your standard toddler stuff. And, of course, there's 'no' which is essential to any toddler vocabulary.

upd18_03Despite Dad's best efforts to steer me towards Snoopy, Pooh has become my favorite character. Later this month, Mom and Dad are taking me to Disney World where I hope to meet Pooh and all his friends in person. I hear that there are even other fun things to do there, too. Until that Snoopy comes up with a 'Peanuts World', I'm stickin' with Pooh!

upd18_04Well, I must get back to my mischief. You are all invited to visit us and inspect the damage for yourself. See you again at 24 months!

Hugs and kisses,

Annie
