Sun-bathing beauty

Spending time in the pool has become one of Anna's favorite late afternoon/evening activities. She's decided to take advantage of being able to wear a bikini for a few years before she hits puberty and Daddy puts an end to her midriff-bearing days.

(Don't worry--she wasn't actually sun-bathing...I just layed her on a towel in the shade for the photo op!)

Thank goodness for the weekend...



After a long week of accomplishing so many milestones (including full-fledged giggling today!), Anna Banana needed a break! She was able to kick back and relax a little today...

The angel sleeps...

...through the night!!

This has been a "red-letter" week for Anna...she's started sleeping through the night (granted, the reason she hadn't been sleeping through the night before this was because we were waking her to feed her), is grabbing for toys with both hands now (pictures of that to come soon!), started making motor-boat sounds with her mouth, and had her first "half-giggle"! She's really growing up...its amazing to watch!

Happy First Father's Day, Daddy!!

Anna couldn't be more excited to wish the best Daddy in the world a "Happy Father's Day!" today. She tried to get up and cook him breakfast this morning, but it turns out that "rolling over" and "sitting up" are earlier on the developmental milestone chart than "making scrambled eggs". We're not quite there yet. Oh well...maybe next year!

Watch out world, here I come!

As Anna gains more and more control of her head, the world is becoming ever more exciting! She's enjoying tummy time more and more these days, and loves to just be carried around so that she can turn and look at everything in sight. She seems like she's going to be a pretty curious one...

Feet? I have feet??

Anna discovered this week that she has feet! They are her newest favorite toy...she pulls them up and plays with them constantly! And, the "This little piggy..." game has taken on a whole new level of excitement. She hasn't ventured to put her feet in her mouth yet, but she's certainly sticking a lot of toys there these days!

All growns up

Well, the day has finally come that Anna is too big for her Moses basket and is now sleeping in her crib full-time! She's been sleeping in the Moses basket in a bassinet in our bedroom since she was born. This pic is the last shot of her in Moses basket...it has officially been retired now until a future little brother or sister comes along.

Part of me is really proud of her for being able to adjust to her crib so well and looking forward to the extra floor space in our bedroom, but part of me is definitely a little sad to see her go! I know this is one of many many ways that she's going to become more independent soon, so I need to get over it. But, this is coming from the same person who cried when Anna moved from "Newborn" to "Size 1" diapers. The first day of kindergarten is going to be a rough one...

Livin' the good life...

Anna had her first dip in the pool last weekend. She loved it! She was looking pretty glam sporting the fancy shades while lounging by the pool. Life as a 3 month old is tough stuff...

We missed you, Anna Banana!


Clint and I had our first trip without Anna this weekend...to Malibu for our friend Matt's wedding. Oh we missed you so little Anna Banana!! A definite big thank you to my parents (aka Grammie and Grandpa) for taking such wonderful care of you while we were away!

Happy Girl

Doesn't this smile just make you want to give this girl whatever she asks for? We can tell already that this kid is going to be an expensive one...just how much is a pony anyway?

Grandma and Grandpa Baggerman come to visit...


Anna got to meet her Grandma and Grandpa Baggerman this past weekend. She had such a good time with them--trying some authentic Texas food (Mexican and barbeque), going to the butterfly exhibit at the museum, and spending some fun time just hanging out around the house!

The greatest store on Earth

Anna took her first trip to Crate & Barrel last week. Needless to say, she was impressed (don't let the picture fool you...she was riveted by their interesting selection and reasonable prices). Her only complaint was that she had been alive for 9 whole weeks before experiencing the joy that is Crate & Barrel...

Happy Mother's Day!!


Anna took a break from the bouncy seat to wish Mommy a happy first Mother's Day!

So happy together

While Lily hasn't exactly embraced the idea of her new "sister" Anna yet, she does seem to be warming up to her. They bonded over baby paraphenalia yesterday. Who knew bouncy seats had such appeal even on the feline circuit?

Grandpa, NOOO!!!

This was a close one...we asked Grandpa to feed Anna a snack, and he pulled out the Cheetos! Luckily, we were able to stop him in time to get her a little bit heathier snack (Baked Lays).

Snuggler


This is one of Anna's (and Mommy's!) newest favorite activities. Anna naps in the Baby Papasan in the warm steamy bathroom while Mommy takes as long of a shower as she wants...everyone's happy! Anna's quite the snuggler these days...she even manages to snuggle up with the Papasan!

Happy Birthday Daddy!! Anna did a little celebrating this morning in her crib...

Making new friends...

Anna spent Easter weekend making new friends! Above is my oldest and closest friend Emily with her adorable son Nicholas. He was born January 26th, so he and Anna are almost the same age! Anna was pretty impressed with Nicholas's NASA jumpsuit...

Anna enjoyed "brunching" with her new friend Kylie. Kylie will be 1 year old in March, so she's a "big kid" to Anna right now! Kylie is the beautiful daughter of my college roommate and dear friend Heather, and her very nice husband Scott.

A little behind...

Sorry its been a while since we updated the blog...we're a little behind...
