Hi everyone! Annie here. I’m writing to you from a hotel bed in New York City. I’m just finishing up a trip with my mommy, Gramma, and Auntie Leah. We’ve had so much fun!
The first fun thing we did was fly to New York. My mommy always talks about how she hates ‘schlepping all this stuff’ at the airport but I don’t know what that means! I love airports, there are so many things to look at! I especially love planes. I don’t know what everyone complains about, I find the seats to be very roomy with plenty of leg room.
I got to go with my mommy to one of the parties she threw, it was so much fun! I loved meeting all of her friends, and they all were excited to meet little old me! There were lots of cool people, but not many babies. In fact, the baby scene was pretty lame at all the parties. But I don’t need other babies to have a good time!
Another fun thing I did was go on the subway. My gramma was very concerned that I NOT! TOUCH! ANYTHING! She is no fun. Touching stuff is the best part!
I really wanted to lick that silver thing.
We braved the humidity to go to the park and I got to see ducks! They seemed extremely interested in me…so interested that my mommy sped me away from them quickly while saying something about them ‘looking hungry.’
One of my favorite things was going to FAO Schwartz! I mean, TOYS EVERYWHERE! My mommy had my Auntie Leah set me on this piano for a picture…and then right after she took it I fell over. When I cried to Daddy about it on the phone later, he told me I was tough and that made me feel better.
We also went to a candy store, where I was as happy as a kid in a toy store. Mommy caught me helping myself to candy.
I was lucky enough to get to lunch with some of the ladies. Although, I think Brittany thought I WAS lunch. She kept saying something about eating my cheeks.
No one told me how exhausting New York City is! I mean, sure, this was my second trip there, but man, am I tired!
I can’t wait to come back!

Annabel, you’re such a jet-setter! I wouldn’t be surprised if you were a world traveler by your 5th birthday! P.s. I want to eat your cheeks, too!
the black and white pic of you and your mommy is ADORABLE! Keep up the good work and glad you had fun in New York!
Oh Annie, I wish wish wish I had been able to come to New York to meet you and your Mommy! I love New York so much, and the big piano at FAO Schwarz is one of my favourite things to play on too
You will have to tell me where that candy store is for my next visit… Lots of love to you, and safe travels home.
I’m in love!
(Dear husband, can we have another pleeeeazzzeeeee?)
Annie, you are so sweet and adorable, and a great writer, just like your mommy!!!
You better watch out though, because there are A LOT of us that would eat those yummy cheeks of yours, given the chance.
You truly are an amazing little baby, just like your big sister Maddie. Lots and lots of people love you and your family SOOOOOO much!!!
Hope you have a great time on your trip!!!
Peace Out!
Ditto and absolutely x1000000!!
XOXO from GA,
Nikki
Can not agree more!! what a sweet, sweet baby you’ve got!
Oh what a cute Mommy you have! (Just to mix it up a bit!)
Looks like it’s been a fun trip for all!!! Have a safe trip home!
Love the black and white, that’s one for the family room wall, for sure. Adorable!
Wonderful… Love the piano shot. And what bliss, a tired baby with red cheeks nicely asleep. Glad to hear you all had a good time!
I must admit how jealous I am that the internet wasn’t this far along when my kids were this small…And, even though the oldest is 18, I want another one…Just like Annabel!
Annie, I’m so glad you had a nice trip. Your pictures are adorable. Take care of Mommy!
I think I ate as much candy as you did this weekend!
Can I just tell you I could not read this without reading it with the “voice of annie.” I was laughing at myself but couldn’t stop reading it like she sounds in her videos, lol!
OMG Midwest Mommy! I was just thinking the same thing! I was going to make that comment, but I wanted to make sure it wasn’t already covered! You beat me to it!!:):)
Me too! Glad I’m not the only one.
I clicked through my reader to come say the same thing. Was pleasantly surprised to find I wasn’t alone!
I did too..lol!
Yep, I totally heard Mike’s Annie voice in my head as I read it, too. Hee!
Meee tooooo!!!!
I am so glad you all had a great time in NY! Your pictures are all beautiful =o) Safe trip home!
I “heard” the whole thing in the voice of Annie, too.
So glad you had a fun trip, Annie. And I always have the urge to touch shiny things, too. So you may or may not grow out of it.
Annabell, you need to write more blog posts! You sure do take beautiful pictures, kiddo.
FAO Schwartz – what a lucky girl you are, Annie!
I was there twice in high school and thought it was fantastic. I can only imagine really being a kid in FAO!
Glad the trip has gone well.
Ok. So in exchange for getting the throat plague, I think it’s only fair you and Mike let me eat her.
Oh Annie you are sticken cute! I wish I could of meet you and your mommy!:) Sending you both hugs.
Your grandmother is right, Annabel–don’t touch anything, ever, on the subway!!
Looking foward to hearing about your next trip…to Milan, maybe?
Annie, you are quite possibly the cutest thing ever. Looks like you had an awesome time hanging out in NYC!
This post had me laughing so hard. No, Annie, you must not lick the silver pole!!
And, giving into the dental office worker side of me, you must not eat all that candy!!
New York is Your Kind of Town, Annie! Way to go!
(((hugs)))
Dear Annie,
It looks like you had a FABULOUS time in NY. I love FAO schwartz also. Tell mommy to take you to the toys r us in time square next time, it is also very cool and all the lights outside in times square are very sparkely. Also, tell mommy to take you to brooklyn for a slice of the best pizza you will ever eat.
BTW your Grandma is right, I grew up in NYC, you don’t want to lick that pole.
Way to party like a rock star Annie!!
(((HUGS))) from Florida
Hey Annie, thanks for letting me snuggle you at your mom’s party. You were pretty much the only person there who didn’t offend me when you tried to shove both of your hands into my bra.
You just may be one of the cutest babies EVER! I’m glad you and your mommy had fun in New York.
I love reading your blog!! Its the first (maybe second) thing I do every morning!!
I totally just read that entire post in the voice that Mike uses for Annie in the videos…. lol
Great pictures and great fun!
Looks like everyone had a great time!! Awesome pics!
Annie, you look like your having a great time!!!!
Sounds like fun! I’ve never been to NYC but I want to go so badly. And Annabel is absolutely adorable.
Oh, and while reading that entire post, I had the ‘Annabel’ voice you use in the videos running through my head.
I totally read that in my Annie voice from the Annie videos.
Love the captions to your pics! What a great little blogger you are Annie! I just love you!
I’m so glad you had such a great time, Annabel! Hopefully next year there will be more babies for you to party with.
Annie, girls only trips with your Mama, Gramma, and Auntie are sooo special! Looks like you all had a great time.
Awww, Annie! You’re already more world-traveled than I AND you got to go to BlogHer. Is it sad that this grown woman is jealous of you?!
Also, you are adorable.
I just want to NOM NOM NOM on Annabel’s cheeks, too! She is just nom-a-licious!
Such the cutie pie! And you are right! Anyone would want to eat those cheeks!
I love, love, love the pictures. Looks like you guys had a great time. New York is so much fun.
Love this post and the pictures. Annabel, YOU are a doll. Your parents are lucky. Heck, so are you, beautiful!
That’s it. I’m becoming a blogger. I have to come to one of these conferences and kiss those pudgy cheeks. She is so cute!!!!
You’re cute too, Heather – but in case there is any confusion…. I was speaking of Annie!
Ohhhhhhh so cute! Annie is the image of total joy and health! I LOVE her chubby cheeks, arms, legs, neck, tummy! I could eat her cheeks too.
And I think, in the very last picture, her lips are very much like big sister Maddie’s lips.
Wow! What an awesome mom you have Annabel, my Mom would NEVER have let me have that much candy!
Wow, Annie, what a trip! I’m hoping to make it to BlogHer in San Diego, so we’ll have to meet up then. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
I just read the whole thing in Annies voice too! This is HILARIOUS! Annabel… you are gorgeous. So happy you had a great time in my city. I’m sure you will be a jet-setter!
Dear Annie,
You are amazing! To have the zest to endure NY and all those meetings and parties AND continue to look absolutely adorable in all your photos! These skills will take you far!
Take care of Mommy as you head home!
Dude. That kid rules. She’s kinda amazing and I can’t wait to come and visit her this fall.
Dear Annie, you are just cute as a button. (Don’t worry, it doesn’t make much sense to me either. It just means that you are SO ADORABLE.) You and your mommy take the cutest pictures together. Glad you had fun in NY!
xoxo
Immediately after meeting Annie, I started to ovulate.
True Story.
(Also thank you for letting me hold her. I totally needed some baby snuggles)
Ahhh, my daily dose of cute!
Hi Annie! Good to hear from you, glad you liked your trip.
I thought you might like this blog, about Mila, a baby who seems to lead quite an exciting double life like you!

I couldn’t help but read this post in “annie’s voice” that she uses during her videos. Funny. Cute post!
i was totally reading this in annabel’s voice
cute!
How fun! I was totally reading this in Annabel’s voice! ha
I love that stripped dress in the last photo! My 7 month old daughter has the hat and the sweater! I wanted the dress and the other outfit but couldn’t get it.
Annie is quite a cosmopolitan baby! Great pics, and I’m glad you’re having fun. I laughed out loud at the “I really wanted to lick that silver thing” bit.
That’s the face I make when I’m buried in candy too.
I confess that I am now inspired to go to New York, not for the things adults usually do, but because Annie looks like she had such a good time. I want to fall over on the piano and lick silver things!
I love that you kept Annie from licking that silver thing. When we took my oldest to NYC when he was 1, we weren’t so successful.
I am SO happy I got to meet you, your mom and your Gramma, Annie! You’re just as beautiful in person as you are in your movies. You were such a good girl at BlogHer! Glad you and your ladies had fun.
Annie, you are so adorable and I think I would have to nibble on your cheeks too!
I’ve had Beastie Boys and Ozzy Osbourne stuck in my head all day… thanks for the Beastie part.
Annie, you’re already racking up those miles! Way to be a great traveler!! Life is an adventure, and you’re already miles ahead of many other people.
Now that’s a smile that could launch a thousand !
She is precious!
Aww, looks like little Annie had fun!
This comment is nothing about this blog post but it was great to see you on the JJB blog showing off your black/silver BFF! You should join the ladies in the pink room, we’d love to have you there!

funny…when *I* helped myself to the candy at Dylan’s I got escorted out of the place…
I actually found myself reading this in Annie’s “voice”! Too funny, she is so adorable!
Oh my goodness, my uterus aches. Annie’s smile could light up the world!
Oh my gosh, her cuteness is just ridiculous!!! I can hardly handle it….I want to reach through the computer and squeeze her!! Talk about baby fever!!
I’m with Brittany too… I WANNA EAT HER CHEEKS NOM NOM NOM.
Sounds like a great trip to NYC. That photo of Annie sitting on the FAO Schwartz piano keys is AWESOME! So loving it. And that photo with Annie and all the candies (?): She is just TOO ADORABLE for words! =D
