Nap Time

As Annie has gotten more and more alert she has also not wanted to sleep very much. She has also had some massive diapers lately, which has been less than comfortable for her. Both of these are not so fun at 1 am 2 am 3 am 4 am 5 am etc ;-).

Needless to say that leads to one tired mommy. Adam took a PTO day today to stay home and help out which was so sweet. He and Annie had a good nap time together this afternoon...hopefully her calmer day today will lead to a calmer night tonight!

We are hoping to have somewhat of a pattern in tact by month 2 so we can start to visit Grammy's :-)and others. If we dont have a at least some predictability people will need to come see us until we get there..anyone up for the 3 am feeding?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Yes, that is a pacifier you see! Thank god. She was able to suck on it on her own without spitting it out for 10 minutes straight. This was a first as before she was wholly uninterested. It gave us 10 minutes of quiet which felt as good as finding Gucci on sale at Neimans!

This is my favorite picture. Adam was beat, and what I love more about it is he fell asleep reading cookie magazine and not PC world or Playboy!

So many new friends!

We had more visitors today. Annie is quite popular with the boys. Today Kellen came over with his mommy Shannon. They had a good time staring at the ceiling together, crying, eating, and napping. Annie is really hoping he will call for a second date.

Something really good must have been on TV!

Sunday Visits

Cousin Kerstin and Kerren and Nate came to visit Annie today. Kerstin is gearing up to have a little girl of her own and Kerren is an old pro with Nate who is 8 months old!


Nate thinks Annie is pretty cute...he asked her out for a date next Saturday but her daddy said no.
Adam is a natural...lets have a second!

Kerstin is ready!

Annie had a bit of gas, she is normally not cherry red!

We do exist!!

Adam and I realized we did not have many pics of us with Annie so we took some today... then I had to take a few of her in her little hoodie...does this kid have the cutest clothes or what!!

Bath time!

Adam and I took advantage of the calm time Annie had after her bath to take some pictures of her in her towel. She really enjoyed the bath this time, not a single tear and even some cooing!

Gratuitous Posting

This post is really just for the Grammys (as lets be honest, most are.) In this clip Annie is doing...absolutely nothing...but she still looks darn cute. We had just finished lunch and she was going down for her nap as soon as I put some clothes on her. I'm posting this so Grammy Cathy and Grammy Wendy don't have to watch the last clip posted anymore :-) Annie's Grammys love her!

Excited!

I got my new Cannon camera today, just a point and shoot so I don't have to get out the big camera or video camera every time I want to catch something. It should make it easier to take short videos as well. In this video Annie is on her mat. She gets really into batting the toys around. I think she wishes she had slightly better control over her limbs ;-) but she still will bat at the toys for a solid 20 minutes on her own before she has had enough!

Monkey Business

Annie is getting bigger every day! Grammy Wendy and Grumps got her this outfit at one of the showers, and it was supposed to be the outfit she wore home from the hospital but it was way too big. It fits pretty well now which is so fun!
I had my 2 week post hospital check up today and it went great. The incision is nearly completely healed and life is good.

After my check-up I took Annie to the Sequoia Wellness Center to weigh her and meet some other new moms. I weighed her with a clean diaper and clothes on as it was cold in the room, but she weighed in at 7lbs 14oz! (I checked it 3 times to make sure) so id suspect she is right around 7 and 1/2 lbs without the diaper and outfit, which is great!

It's a Jungle out there!

Annie is spending more and more time awake which is a lot of fun. We opened the FANTASTIC play mat from Judith and Rick this morning and she just loved it. She was obsessed with the little red bird that tweeted and even managed to coordinate herself well enough to bat at it so it moved. The lights above her head were also great for drawing her attention in the right direction. I think this gift is a winner!
