14 Months

Anna is 14 months old!!!  I feel like she is getting so old.  Apparently this is something that happens to your sweet little baby over time . . . I have mixed feelings about it.  :)  Mostly I love it.  I love seeing her become more and more confident in her world.  To see her actually play with her siblings and friends.  To hear her babby babbles sound more and more like actual words.  However, every so often I will get a pang for the little bundle I nursed for the first time, or miss the feel of her tiny head in the crook of my neck while I rocked her to sleep.  I know these pangs are only going to get worse, as my children age :(

Anna is a ball of sunshine.  I've notice lately that she really loves to make us laugh. If she does something that one of us thinks is funny, she seems to tuck that away in her "funny girl arsenal" to have at the ready.  

She looooooves to go outside (pretty unusual for a young child right? haha).  This is the perfect time of year to oblige her too.  In the middle of August, when it is disgustingly humid, I'm sure I won't be so kind!  She loves walking around and searching for anything she can pick up, "jumping" on the trampoline, sliding down the slide, and playing with Maverick.

Check out that hair!  It has been so much fun to see the progression of Anna's hair from really dark to light and curly.  It will be interesting to see how it keeps changing.
Anna's sleeping is pretty good.  It takes a while to put her to sleep sometimes, which can be a pain.  But usually she's asleep by 8:30 and will sleep solid until 6:00.  It seems every 8 days or so, she'll have a bad night just to keep me on my toes :)  Her nap schedule is down to one a day, which I'm OK with.  It will be in the morning if she wakes up extra early, or in the afternoon if she slept in later than 7.
Her eating has changed too.  She will no longer eat those Gerber squeezy pouches, but will still do the yo baby yogurt.  She really likes mac n cheese, spaghetti, animal crackers, fishies, raisins, edamame beans, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and most of all: ice cream!!  This girl loves her ice cream!!


Love you Anna girl!!!

Jen your kids are so cute. I still check in on your blog even though I'm a huge slacker on mine. Looks like life is treating you well. I just wish we lived by each other. Wouldn't that be so much fun?

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

21 Weeks

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
