Anna likes to hang out with Daddy and enjoyed watching some preseason baseball!

Anna is also starting to like being on her belly more and likes to hold her head up and look around.

I give up!

First Road Trip

On Friday (2/29/08) morning, after her doctor's appointment, Anna, Matt and I went on our first road trip. It didn't start off so great with lots of traffic (never go through LA on a Friday!). It didn't help that there was an accident in our car pool lane early on in our trip either. We eventually got to our destination and had dinner. We visited with Martine, Brian, Kyle, Hannah, and Nikol for a while before turning in for the night. Anna slept well but kept us up quite a bit because she is a noisy sleeper!

On Saturday we took our time getting ready and made it to Martine's house in the early afternoon after doing some shopping. They picked up my grandma (Anna's great-grandma!) who got to see Anna for the first time. It was a great day and grandma loved holding Anna. She got mad when people were too noisy saying they were going to wake "her baby". It was very cute! Anna's hat matched grandma's sweater too!

On Sunday we visited with Lili-Anne, Danny, Cheyne, and Nikol for most of the day and Martine, Brian, Kyle and Hannah joined us for cards after dinner. Anna was a very good baby and enjoyed "seeing" everyone.

Monday morning we headed home and it was a much smoother trip! It was nice to get out but also nice to be home again.

One month old!

Today Anna is one month old! We took her this morning for her one month checkup and all is well! She now weights 9 lbx, 0 ozs. She is 21.5 inches long. She is smiling more, starting to make a new sound, and is very alert. We are all doing well and enjoying our family!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Anna was a very good girl for Daddy today as we celebrated Daddy's 28th birthday! She got Daddy a Chicago Cubs Mr. Potato head. He was very excited!
