Happy Leap Year! Our baby girl is four months old today. Here she is pictured at her well-baby checkup this morning…this is before the four shots and oral vaccine, so she still has that pretty smile on her face! She did NOT like the poking this time around and she was very vocal about it. [...]
Tommy models his new blue hat before church on Sunday. Annalise was wearing a hat so he could not be outdone…even though his hair was freshly styled!
Slap some mouse ears on this girl and she could stand in for Minnie Mouse, right? Here she smiles laying atop one of the new blankies Auntie Jess made for her. I’ve really been a fan of pink and purple outfits until now, but I think I’ll be dressing our little lady in red more [...]
Annalise enjoys time on her tummy more and more each day. Now that she can hold her head up really well the prone position offers a great new perspective on the world. She’s particularly happy when we help to prop her on her elbows as shown in the pictures.
Annalise posed in her adorable little church clothes before we went to mass. This little ensemble was a gift from Auntie Amy and I’m so glad she got to model it at least once before she grew out of it!
Annalise graduated to playing in the exersaucer this week. She LOVES spending time upright and really was all smiles for the duration of her play session. Big Brother Tom gave her a detailed orientation on how each toy functions, so she has a good start on hand-eye coordination training. Just kidding…we’re not that rigorous!
The Wedewers visited Portland this month. Here are pictures with captions to follow at a later date.
Tommy is a big fan of bubble baths these days. We’re able to entice him to the tub so much easier now! We just announce that it’s time for his super-scrubby-bubble-bath and he pretty much bolts up the stairs and starts stripping! He enjoys using his rinse cup to pour water over his body during [...]
Annalise is fascinated by the mobile hanging above her crib. She stares at it constantly and watches it go ’round and ’round as long as Tommy keeps pressing the button. She’s such a content little girl…we are a very lucky family!
Annalise is fascinated with her own hands. She spent most of her waking hours today wiggling and stretching her fingers in front of her face. She had a look of surprise and glee when one hand would “catch” the other. She’s full of smiles, as usual, and she is SO close to laughing…we can get [...]
It’s official…Tommy is now a card-carrying member of the big boy club. We converted his crib into a full-size bed frame and he couldn’t be prouder of his achievement. Getting him to stay put at night isn’t a problem, but he isn’t doing so well on the naps these days…too many books to read and [...]
Tommy & Annalise are now side-by-side stroller buddies. This is much easier to manuever than the behemoth that holds Annalise’s car seat! Here they enjoy each other’s company before we head out for a walk. And here they pose with Daddy on the paseo near our home.
Tommy’s been keeping busy lately. He had his friend, Alex, over to play and they actually sat together quietly while watching a cartoon for a few minutes (they usually end up in a toddler squabble five seconds after Tara and I turn our heads).He likes to rummage through Mommy’s purse for snacks, tissues and cell [...]
Annalise is tolerating tummy time a little better these days. Her neck muscles are getting stronger, so now that she can look around at more than the blanket below her she finds it somewhat entertaining. “I…can…almost…reach…it…”
Annalise and Tommy enjoy a little brother-sister bonding. They already make such wonderful friends.
