Anna now has two teeth! Which would explain why she didn’t magically start sleeping through the night again. So now she has both bottom front teeth. 2 down, 18 to go…
My brother needed to borrow a sheep for a photo shoot, so I lined up all the sheep I could round up in our house in 10 minutes and took a picture so he could decide which one he wanted. This does not count the beanie baby lamb I found moments later, the second Gund [...]
Anna has her first tooth today! For the past few days, I’ve been certain she was teething, and I kept sticking my finger in her mouth to check, but only found bumps on her bottom gum. Today, I found a tooth! Her bottom right central incisor, to be exact. Maybe tonight Anna will remember how [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today you are officially 4-and-a-half. You’ve made sure that everyone you see knows it, too!

Dear Anna, Yesterday you turned 9 months old. As it was Easter Sunday we didn’t get a chance to take your monthly pictures, so we did them today. I can’t believe how quickly this first year is going by! This has been an amazing month for you! Last month you could sit up if we [...]
Vital stats: 9 months, 1 day old 18 lbs, 7 oz 27.5 inches Anna is now in the 50th percentile for height and weight. A little less than last time, but pretty much exactly average. She’s mostly out of 6-9 month clothes, and some 9-12 month clothes are getting a little short… She only had [...]
