Big Dam Bridge

Kevin, Anna, Abby and I spent Sunday afternoon walking The Big Dam Bridge. We've never been and the weather was perfect so we decided to take Anna on her first outdoors adventure. And since it was real sunny, she wore her shades and her hat! Doesn't she look cute!

 

 

Anna Pictures

Anna with her cousins, Avery and Jacie. Jacie was kind enough to let Anna wear her shades. Doesn't she look cool!

This pic is for Kathy Parnell. Thanks for the "Anna" onesie!

 I put Anna's Bounce Bounce Baby together and she really likes it.

She's a little too short for it though. 

We're still working on eating rice cereal from a spoon. Each day gets a little better.

 See... she likes it!

My First Mother's Day

 

I had my very first Mother's Day this past Sunday and it was an incredible day. It's funny to think that this time last year, I found out a few days before Mother's Day that I was pregnant, and now I'm celebrating the day as a new mom. God has truly blessed me and Kevin with a sweet angel and I'm so proud to be her mom. Thank you Anna Baby for making every day so special.

Anna's New Move

Anna's 4 month check up went great. She now weighs 13 pounds 5 ounces and is 24 inches long. She's in the 50th percentile in every category. She's getting so big and to show what a big girl she's becoming, she did a new trick last night. Watch!

This was the first time she'd done that and I just happened to catch it on camera. How lucky was that!

She also ate rice cereal from a spoon... sort of.

4 Months Old!

 

Little Anna Banana Claire Bear is 4 months old today! WOW! Time flies! Here's some fun little facts about our Pooter Face:

1. After a rough month, she's finally starting to sleep a little better again. Now she's only waking up once, maybe twice during the night. During the day she eats about every 4 hours.

2. She's discovered her hands. She likes to suck on them, look at them and even grab things with them. She really likes her toys on her carseat the most.

3. She laughs... A LOT! She loves to smile and giggle. Everything makes her laugh.

4. She's eating a little bit of rice cereal at night and she really likes it.

5. She likes to sit in her bumbo seat - she thinks she's a big girl when she's sitting up.

She has her 4 month checkup on Tuesday so we'll let you know the official stats then.

Our Little Pooter Face

I think someone is smelling her own fart!!!

 Anna's favorite thing to do is take a bath! She loves to look at herself in the mirror. She's starting to splash a lot more too. Here pretty soon I'm sure she won't be the only one getting wet!

Her shirt says it all!

 

Go see what Anna did on Saturday!

Anna's aunt and uncle and cousin watched her while Kevin and I went to a wedding on Saturday. Click here to see how much fun she had!

Our Big Little Helper

Kevin and I watched Lindsey last night while Greg and Laurie enjoyed a night out. Lindsey was such a big help. She helped give Anna a bath, she fed her a bottle and then she read her a book. Anna loves her cousin Lindsey and I loved having all the help. Thanks Lindsey! We Love You!

Our Future Babysitter

Emily (Anna's cousin) came for a visit and finally got to hold Anna. She's getting her practice in because she's our future babysitter! :)

 

Once Upon A Time...

Anna's finally starting to pay attention when I read to her. She likes to look at all the bright colors on the page and she likes to watch me read to her. Thank you Grammy and Poppy for the books!

A Birds Eye View

 

One day she's going to be way too big for this. Not only will she be too big, but Kevin will be too old! He just turned 33! Happy Birthday Kev!

3 Months

 Anna is already three months old - can you believe it?! She is growing so fast. We put her on the scale the other day and she weighed 12 pounds... that's almost double her birth weight! She's discovered her hands so she sucks on them all the time. She also drools everywhere! She loves to smile and laugh. She has a tickle spot under her neck so when I tickle her she cracks up laughing. It's so cute! Each day with her is such a blessing. Happy 3 Month Birthday Pooter Face!

Here she is with "Mr. Turtle." It plays music and has little fish swimming around in it. You can tell by her smile it's one of her favorite things.

Here she is in her play gym.
