Big Baby!

Last Wednesday we went to the Dr. for another routine check up with Baby #2. At that point I was 30 weeks but the baby measured at 33 weeks!!  The Dr. did an ultrasound to make sure there was not too much fluid around the baby and everything turned out fine.  I did ask whether this meant that I would have her sooner and the Dr. seemed to think not.  We'll see!  According to the 'all-knowing' ultrasound machine(and according to the baby's head size- Thank you, Tony)  the baby is weighing in at 4lbs 12 oz. NOW!  Whew...! 9 more weeks huh??!! We are scheduled to see the Dr. every two weeks at this point so maybe there will be an update next Tuesday!? We finally have a name picked out but won't be sharing until she comes into the world!  Feel free to make your guesses though! 

Anna's many hats!

Anna has found a love for hats!

Happy New Year!!

We decied to start 2011 out with a bang...and our first trip to the ER with Anna. :) She fell against a corner cabinet while playing with her cousins and ended up with a HUGE black/blue/purple welt on her forehead. The Dr. was not very concerned. We ended up spending a few hours on New Years night in the hospital room 'waiting' to make sure it didn't get worse. As the pictures show... she was fine and loved the attention with snacks,juice, and toys!! The pictures don't really do the battle wound justice!

Christmas 2010

Where does the time go!? It's already February and I haven't updated you since November! Yikes...! As previously promised many times.... I will TRY to get better about updating!

Well here it is... the best Christmas photo you will get! Anna is so busy that staying still for a 3-second photo is not going to happen!

And our first experience with Santa. Do you see the hesitation?

Sitting on his lap was NOT going to happen!

Anna's Christmas oufit. If only we could stand still to get a nice front view with a smile. :)

Christmas morning!

So many fun things to play with and the Goldfish crackers are the most important thing! Love how she sits in her chair!

Christmas with the Bomareto cousins in our new baking gear from Nana and Papa. 

Family shot at the 'Mini Christmas Village." Again no smiles.... but happy that we have a family photo to document the outing! 

Every year Golden has a Christmas parade with different activities.  Anna LOVED the dog sleigh rides and as you can tell by the last picture, did NOT want to leave them!

Anna is 18 months old!

Anna had her 18 month old appointment today. She is 32in. tall (70%)and 25.9 lbs (70%)! The Dr. is very please with her growth and happy with where she is at! Just perfect, she says! Anna wasn't too sure about the scruchy paper on the table this time. I think that she remembered where she was at this time! As usual she didn't like the shots at the end but was quickly over it as soon as I picked her up.

Today her new words are..... 'Oh Baby!' (when looking at her dolly), 'two socks' (as she hands them to me from her crib), 'hot' (when her food is too hot), 'happy, happy, happy!' (when she's happy!), and 'DAAADDYY!' (calling dad when he's downstairs). She also is getting so good at saying 'please' and 'thank you' and just the right times! She's getting so big!
