babies, babies, babies!

More friends with babies - YAY! Our friends Julie and Tyler welcomed their baby girl Natalie into the world last Saturday and Will and Sarah welcomed their little Alexander into the world on the 8th. Everyone is healthy and happy. I'm so excited for them!

Anna meets Grandpa Ed and Grandma Carol!

Last week Anna finally got to meet her Grandpa Ed and Grandma Carol! We met them up in Truckee and had a fun weekend with perfect weather, lots of good food, and a fantastic meteor shower to top it all off.

Grandpa Ed holding Anna while we made breakfast. She was very content.
 

Anna is already trying to figure out how she can get Carol's visor in her mouth!
 

Looking very serious at Donner Lake.
 

Watch out - she's mobile! Anna scooted all the way under the couch on her back.
 

5 Months

 

Anna will be five months old on Monday. I can't believe how fast the time is going by! She loves to laugh and look at herself in the mirror. She screams a lot which then makes her laugh some more (and us too!) She can roll over from her back to stomach but hasn't quite mastered the stomach to back. She wants to put EVERYTHING in her mouth. She's not a big fan of the nap but is a pretty good sleeper at night - usually going to bed around 7:00, up at 4:00 for a feeding, and back to sleep until about 6:30 or 7:00. I can deal with that.
The most exciting development this week is her first tooth! It's coming in on the lower left-hand side. I think it might be one of those pointy guys. Usually it's more common for the two bottom teeth to come in first but I guess our little girl likes to be different.
You might also notice I've resorted to a short "mommy" cut. Guaranteed to keep little hands from pulling out your hair!
