Anna's Blessing and other stuff

It's been awhile since I last blogged and now that I'm sitting down to do it I realize a lot has happened over the last two weeks.

I'll start with Anna since I always talk about Anna:) She is rolling over fairly well from her tummy to her back. I think the only reason she does this is because she hates being on her tummy.I was trying to take pictures of her on her tummy and I think I blinded her with this one.



She also went through a grumpy period for about two weeks. I finally took her to the doctor and he said she had acid reflux. Because of this her weight wasn't going up like it was supposed to. I started giving her zantac and feeding her an extra ounce of formula every time she ate and now she is as happy as can be. I kept trying to take pictures of her during this time and she always gave me a grumpy face. This is one of her grumpy pictures, but I still think she is cute:)



And believe it or not, we actually bought a new car!!! We've only been talking about it for four years now. I told Mark we had to buy it by May because I wasn't going through another summer without AC in my car. He finally caved:) It is a 2007 Hyundai Sonata with only 30000 miles on it. We got it for a really good price.

For those LOST fans out there, can anyone else see the symbolism of our cars?

Anna was also blessed this last weekend and we had a little party afterward. Everything went well, she didn't cry during her blessing although we were very worried that she might. She kept giving us a grumpy face through the whole opening song. She did very well and even decided to smile for some pictures afterward.

Anna also giggled for the first time. I wasn't home to hear it, but Mark said it was hilarious.


Well that is about it for us. I'll try to update more often:)

Daddy's Fashion Sense

The other day Anna had a blowout and needed to change her outfit in the middle of the day. Mark took her upstairs to change her and this is what he came down with,

I believe this is proof that Mark doesn't have a lot of fashion sense. I guess I need to supervise the changing of clothes from now on:)

Smiles and Tears

Sorry it's been awhile since I've been on here. Life has been pretty good. We finally put Anna in her own room the other day. It was so hard for me. It was harder for me than it was for Anna, she fell asleep right away. I cried for an hour. It's good for her though, we were waking her up in the morning. Now she sleeps for 8 hours:) This makes me very happy. She is growing up so fast.

This is her nursery, it's mostly done. There are still a couple of pictures I need to hang up and some boxes of stuff that need to be put away, but I'm almost there.

Nemo and Anna are starting to bond. The other day when she was on the floor Nemo came and sat next to her. She was so fascinated by him. Nemo even reached out his paw and put it in her hand. I didn't get that on camera, but they were still looking at each other when I finally got the camera out.

The cats are adjusting well to Anna. They have started cuddling with themselves because I don't have as much time to cuddle with them. They didn't do this that often before, but now it is a nightly ritual. I'm starting to find more time to spend with them, but I can tell they still miss their attention.

Here is Anna smiling at Mark. I still can't get her to smile for me when I have the camera in front of my face, but I'm getting closer.

This is her in her blessing dress. We are going to have her blessed at the end of the month. I love getting her all dressed up.

My weight loss is continuing to go well. I lost 1.5 lbs. last week. I am so sore from yesterday, I did 45 min. of personal training and then an hour of Jazzercise. It feels good to work my muscles. I also got out on Saturday and ran a mile! I have never been able to run very far and I'm usually bored, but I felt like it was easy for me this time. I also had my mp3 player going which helped with the boredom. It felt so good when I was done.

Mark and I are also looking at buying a new car...woohoo! I have been wanting another car for several years now. We have had one car for going on 8 years and it was 6 years old when we bought it. It will nice to have a second car. We are looking at getting it within the next month or two. I'll put a picture up when we get it.

Sorry for rambling on so much, I hope everyone is having a great day!
