Bath Time!

Anna Louise LOVES taking a bath!!! She could be squalling, but when she hits that water she calms right down. She is also picky about the lotion we use on her. She much prefers the lavender lotion that Aunt Mary gave her. She cries when we use the pink kind...picky picky, just like her Mama!!!

These are some pictures of one of her baths. We use the turtle cloth that Aunt Leigh Leigh gave her to keep her warm. It is not only her favorite part of the day, but mine as well!

We are one month old!!! Yes I am late getting the pictures up, but at least I TOOK the picture when she was officially one month! She is such a happy baby! She also loves cuddling!

She is quite a long little girl. She has already out-grown her newborn outfits and is pretty much wearing 0-3 and 3 month outfits depending on the designer (Carters, Gerber etc.) She is eating more and more and is on a 3 hour schedule. We are still trying to nail down which hours they are, but it is pretty consistent.  

Tummy Time!

We bought Anna Louise a mat for "tummy time" she had a hard time with it at first, but after a week or two on it, she is picking up her head more and more and crying less and less! Oscar thinks its play time for him too. He goes and grabs a toy and we play fetch while I play with her...a totally new way of multitasking!

Oscar never knows how to handle the all out screaming when she has had enough.

  Seriously, do I really have to live like this????

 Its okay, Mom, I've got it under control!

Sucking on her fingers...not cool!

 She likes the butterfly because it makes a tinkling sound.

She is doing great focusing on objects!

Now...if we can just get her to like spending time ON her tummy!!!

Anna Louise

Now that our precious Anna Louise is here, I hope that our family and friends can watch our family through our blog. I will try to do my best to keep it updated with her milestones and pictures as much as possible. Here are a few pictures of her first month with us. (These are the same ones as on Facebook)

 Our new family began on May 6, 2011.
