3 months

It is hard to believe that Annabelle is already 3 months old. She grows and changes every day. She is really finding her voice right now and trying to "talk" and interact with us so much. It is just wonderful watching her learn. Here are some pictures we have taken recently.


This hair is so funny. We didn't style it this way, it just goes like this naturally most of the time.

I love how she's holding onto Denver's finger here. They are so cute together.

These are her little Baby Legs (they are basically baby leg warmers). Her Dad hates them but I think they are cute!

Big baby blues

Also, we had a fabulous girl from Lebanon come and take pictures of Annabelle for her turning 3 months old. She did a really fabulous job of capturing her little personality. We couldn't be happier with the pictures. You can check them out at her site.

Office Baby

I am very fortunate that I work for a family business that is allowing me to bring Annabelle to work with me. I have set up a nursery and play area in my office. Most days Annabelle plays happily by herself with all of her little toys. There is nothing more fun during the workday than hearing her giggling during her playtime. Here are some pictures we have taken in the office.

First trip to Ohio

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Annabelle and I started back to work 2 weeks ago and the downtime has been limited ever since. We took our first trip to Ohio as a family (minus Mills) just before we returned to work. Denver's great college friend, Steve, got married and we were so excited to get to celebrate with the happy couple. The drive to Ohio wasn't all that fun as Annabelle was a bit more fussy than we expected. We suspect this is because I made the mistake to sit in the back seat with her and she wasn't too thrilled with the fact that I was not picking her up. On the drive home I sat up front and she was fine. Nonetheless, a 5 1/2 hour trip quickly becomes 6 plus hours with the stops for feeding and diaper changes. It was still fun to see lots of family and friends in Ohio. Annabelle got to see her Uncle Judd and his girlfriend Kate who were in town from Chicago. She also got to spend 2 nights at her Nanna's house and meet some of her friends, Debby, Bonita and Nita. Friday night we stayed at Grandpa Bob and Grandma Debby's house. Then on Saturday we got to visit with Mom's good friends Auntie Steph and Auntie Phipps. I'm sure we'll be back to Ohio sometime soon. I know her Dad will be very anxious to take her on her first trip to "The Shoe"! Unfortunately I don't have many pics from the Ohio trip but I have lots from our first weeks at work that I'll be posting soon.

Two Months

Sunday Annabelle celebrated her 2 month birthday. She has really started to become so much more social in the last months. We are rewarded many times a day with smiles and laughs and she is finding her voice and trying to "talk" to us as well. She is becoming a really good sleeper as well and we're pretty confident that as soon as her metabolism catches up she'll be sleeping all the way through the night. We're still getting up at 2 and sometimes 5 right now so Mom and Dad can't wait for that milestone. We had our 2 month checkup today with Dr. Isbell and all looks great. She weighs 10 pounds 11 ounces and is 23 inches long. Still pretty long and lean. Her height is in the 50th percentile and her weight is in the 25th. The weight is up from the 10th percentile at the last appointment and Dr. Isbell thought this was a perfect improvement as they don't like to see too much of a jump. She had to endure her first round of vaccinations which included 3 shots and an oral medication. She really did so much better than we expected. The rest of the day she has been tired and a bit cranky but that is to be expected. Here are some pictures from the 2 month photo shoot we did at home yesterday.

More summer fun

I got sick on Thursday and was really sick on Friday. Mastitis, stomach pain, etc. It was not fun. Friday, Denver and I packed up Annabelle and headed to Lebanon where my Nanny, aunt and Mom were on hand to nurse me back to health. Actually they really just wanted to get their hands on Annabelle but at least that allowed me and Denver to get some much needed rest. Friday night, Denver and I both slept better than we had in about 6 months. Here are some pictures from the fun weekend Annabelle had.

Cuteness

I just love these two pictures of Annabelle in her hat right before we all took a walk in the neighborhood. You wouldn't be able to tell by the serious face she is making but she loves going on walks. Notice how her little hands are clenched into fists. She does this all the time for some reason.
