2 months??… holy fast!

IMG_8730How in the world did 2 months fly by so fast??  Our sweet Annistyn is such a great baby!  She loves to sleep, but when she’s awake (as long as she’s fed) she is a happy baby!  She’s starting to smile at all of us & hold her head up.  She really loves her sound machine & is still a fan of the pacifier (although, I think I’ve seen her try to get her thumb into her mouth several times lately… maybe she’ll be a thumb-sucker like her cool big big sister ;o) ).  She really likes to be outside, too… and it’s a good thing, because Ardy & I plan to be outside in the swimming pool as much as possible this summer!  We are so enjoying having our newest sister around the house… we cannot get enough of her!

At her doctor appointment yesterday, the nurses thought she was so cute.  She smiled & coo’ed for them over & over.  Until they gave her those ugly shots, that is!  Her stats were…

10 lbs 4 oz – landing her in the 34th percentile for weight

22 inches – the 35th percentile for height

She’s just perfect.  It’s definitely official.  We’ll keep her.

Annistyn… 1 month young

IMG_8512Wild that the little bit could already be one month old!  Not sure exactly why, but to celebrate, Mommy decided to take her photo in a funny metal bucket!?… It took her a while to get her to be “happy” and sleep… she had to keep picking up the bucket & bouncing her around the front yard … she’d fall asleep for just a second & mom would take a could of pix, but then the wind or a car would wake her & mom would have to start bouncing her around the yard again.  It was quite funny & a lot of work, but we think it was worth it to get such cute shots!  Here are Anni’s one month photos & a few more randoms from her first month on this big earth.

from our first week home… first photo shoot w. mom & first bath
