Last Few Days...

Just wanted to include this picture I took this morning :)

I go back to work on Friday :( I know AK will be absolutely fine because she is such a good baby. I am doing my best to think about this in a positive way. I know I will be fine once I get back into the swing of things. I just can't seem to wrap my mind around teaching again after being out for 3 months. I know that once I get back to work, I will be happy to be there. I love my job and all of my co-workers! And of course the kids too! I really have peace about leaving her because the ones who I am leaving her with love her just about as much as I do! Just say a little prayer for me on Friday :)

3 months old

Anna Kate is 3 months old today! She is getting to be so much fun! Her personality has really begun to develop and she is a very active little girl. She loves to people watch and has become very observant. She smiles just about every time she sees our faces and loves to watch Sophie. Just this week I have seen her first "real" tears and heard her laugh out loud. She is beginning to out grow size 1 diapers and 3 month clothes. Compared to her 2 month picture, she looks so big! She is rolling over both ways now and prefers to sleep on her tummy. I always lay her down on her back but as soon as I walk out of the room, she has rolled over and put her bottom in the air. It is so cute! AK we love every minute with you!!!

First Playdate

Today we had our first playdate at Nickie's house. She is Cole's mom and Cole ended up being the only boy with 8 other little girls! We had so much fun. The babies are all around the same age being born between June and October. Here are a few pictures :)

Mickey Mouse was on the TV and of course she found it!

As soon as we got in the car Anna Kate fell asleep and has been asleep for about an hour (which is a record nap for her!) Thanks Nickie and Cole for having us! Can't wait until our next playdate!

Goooooooo Pirates!

Today is Homecoming at ECU.......AK wanted to show her Pirate Pride!!!

Pumpkin Patch and 2 month "stats"

AK had her 2 month well child check-up on Oct. 7th. She weighed 11 lbs 1 oz and was 23.5 inches long. She has grown 4.5 inches since she was born!!! She did not get any shots because she has been sick. We go back for those on the 18th (not looking forward to that).

This past weekend we went to the pumpkin patch with Rex, Melisa, Jackson and Abby. We had a lot of fun. I know next year will be very fun when Anna Kate actually understands what is going on. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

On the hayride with mommy and daddy :)

She fell asleep before we could get off the hayride to pick her pumpkin so Bryant picked one for her.

AK has been battling a stomach virus for a few days but is feeling much better! Here she is practicing sitting up in the bumbo chair!

2 Months

Anna Kate is 2 months old! She has definitely grown since her one month picture with Sophie. She has much better head control and can lift her head up high when playing on her tummy. She can roll from her tummy to her back and almost from her back to her tummy. She has begun to like to sleep on her side, which makes me a little nervous! She is wearing size 1 diapers and newborn clothes no longer fit! She is such a happy baby! She loves to "talk" and smile. She has become very interactive. We read everyday! She still loves bath time. She was sleeping up to 7 hours a night but recently has hit a growth spurt and hasn't slept so long :( We are so excited for what is to come in the life or our little girl! We love you AK!

Fun with Mimi and Papa!

My parents came to town last night to keep Anna Kate so I could go to a friend's wedding. BB was working. Here are a few pics from their fun night:)Playing with papa

A little tummy time!

This is her "talking" face

Happy girl :)
