Splish Splash

Anna is starting to enjoy her baths.  A big, yellow rubber duckie to play with makes her smile as does a warm, fuzzy towel and a big apres-bath snuggle with Mom or Dad!

5 Months

                                                so big!

i'm five months old today, and  i've learned to do so many things!  i can roll over, drool and blow bubbles, kiss my mom and dad, pet my puppy, reach for my toys and sleep for eight hours at a time.  i love to squeal and laugh, cry and pout.  life is good.  really good.

The Incredible Journey

                                                            Reindeer for Hire

Anna's first Christmas was white, cozy and bright.  She was a little trooper on the first of many plane rides and road trips we took to meet and greet Midwestern family and friends.  In the great(est) state of Iowa, she snuggled with the GGs (Great Grandpa and Great Grandma) for the first time, belly laughed with her Aunt Christy, played with Momo and Papa, adored her cousins and relaxed with new friends.  After crossing the northern border, Anna enjoyed spending time with Grandpa and Grandma, smiling at her Uncle Jeremy, meeting her Great Aunts and Great Uncles and dining with new friends.  An absolutely perfect holiday... so hard to say goodbye!
