Anna really enjoyed the Strong Museum today – after sleeping for most of the time we were there, she woke up and flashed me smile after smile. I even managed to snap a couple of smiley-baby pictures! Check out the super chubby cheeks…don’t you just want to smoosh ‘em?!?
Dear Carolyn, I blinked and another month went by! We’ve been managing to keep pretty busy, even with Anna taking up so much of our attention. We’ve been going to the farmer’s market, the library, playgroup, playdates…and I’d guess that has a lot to do with why the time is flying by so quickly. The [...]
Anna has already seen her first movie-theater movie: The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. It was a bit scarier than I expected, but Carrie says she enjoyed it, even with the scary parts. And then at my six-week checkup, I discovered that Anna weighs 11 pounds. (Granted, that was fully clothed and with an impending [...]
The yarn shop has been open for one entire year! To celebrate we’re having a big sale through the end of the month. If you’re local and love yarn and fiber, stop by!
Anna, meet bottle. Bottle, meet Anna. Anna has successfully consumed milk from a bottle – hooray! I can now leave the house (well, once I stash some more milk in the freezer) for a few hours without having to worry that the baby will starve. When do I plan to do this? Well, not for [...]
Dear Anna, You are a month old today. I thought time flew by with your big sister, but this time it’s going even faster, if that’s possible. And at the same time, I’m having a hard time remembering what life was like before you joined us. We’ve all been spending the past month figuring out [...]
OK, I have independent confirmation that Anna really did smile at me today. I think she’s smiled at me once or twice before, but it was a fleeting thing and I was too sleep deprived to be sure. This time, I said “hello, baby girl!” as I was holding her in my lap, and her [...]
It’s becoming tradition to have a 0th birthday party for our children so we got a little ice cream cake and had a nice dinner with our parents. And took lots of pictures, of course! Honestly, at this point I’ve taken more pictures in Anna’s first four weeks than I did in Carolyn’s first four [...]
Nana and Poppy arrived today, and we took the girls out to dinner at Friday’s. Anna slept the whole time (yay for eating an entire hot meal!) and Carrie thoroughly enjoyed her chocolate caramel ice cream sundae. And when we left, we saw this amazing double rainbow – the pictures don’t do it justice at [...]
Sometimes I’m overcome with the need to freeze time. A picture is as close as I can get.
