1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Months old.....

I'm a little late with Annabelle's 3 month update, but here it is. 

She is full of smiles and has a lot to say when you talk to her.  

She weighs about 12 lbs. 

She dislikes laying on her tummy and will let you know very quickly. 

She is sleeping all night in her new crib in her room; no longer in the bassinet.

She likes to sit in her Bumbo seat when Phillip isn't sitting in it. 

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Annabelle:

Oh Mondays....

Not msny people love Mondays. In fact, most people dread Mondays. Not me. I love them, and I'll tell you why. It's because we do not have to be anywhere on Mondays! I can stay in my pajamas all day if I wanted to. 

Our schedule for a typical week is as follows:

Sunday: Church, Family Day (every other Sunday at someone else's house) AWANAS

Monday: NOTHING

Tuesday: Cub Scouts

Wednesday: Church

Thursday: TaeKwonDo

Friday: errands, grocery store, library, Movie Night

Saturday: chores, or fun stuff 

Another reason I love Mondays is because it is the one night a week we are all at home with no evening plans. Most all the activities my kids are involved in take place in the evenings. Do you love Mondays? 

Thankful Thursday...just a day late.

A fly on the wall....

Today was a day. Not necessarily a good day but not a horrible day either. If you were a fly on the wall you would have seen.....

Chocolate chip pancakes. These are a favorite of the kiddos and mine as well. 

I have a love/hate relationship with my kitchen counter. And now you can se why. It catches evrything. Art projects, bubbles, paint, laptop, dishes and more. I try really hard to keep it clutter free but I constantly fail at that task. And that bugs me. 

Phillip and his action figures. He had so many toys out today in the kitchen and living room. You would have thought that a twister came thru our house. 

School work gets done. Slowly and with some hesitations. 

I guess i can share the big failure of the day: Locking myself out of the house as we were leaving for church. Surprisingly we made it to church on time.

Gimmie a 2.....2!

Two months. That's how old my little Annabelle is. She is such a good baby. She doesn't cry much unless it is way past feeding time. She is sleeping about 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 hours at night. Thank you Jesus!!

She doesn't like tummy time very much but does have pretty good head control. She absolutely adores her brothers and smiles at them constantly. 

At her 2 month doctor appointment she weighed 10 lbs. 3 oz. (33%) I love how nurses measure for babies height. Lay them down and try to pull their leg straight while parent holds baby's head or they draw a line on paper at the top of their head and the bottom of their feet. At her 4 week check up she measured 23 inches and just yesterday she measured 22 inches. How could she shrink an inch? 

Annabelle loves to take a bath in the sink. She usually gets a bath every morning.

She is such an easy going, laid back baby. She is awake most of the morning and then again in the late afternoon. 

I have loved the last month; watching her change and and seeing her experience all new things.
