6 Weeks - WOW!

My little girl isn't so little anymore - 8.5 lb. and 20.9 inches! SLOW DOWN!  She has three small hemangiomas (red spots) that will grow for a while then disappear.  The red mark on her face is one of the spots.  She is eating every 3 - 3.5 hours, started cooing a little, follows us (especially Kate),  smiles,  and cries a little in the evening and middle of the night.  She seems to enjoy our walks whether she is in a stroller or the bjorn (Kate calls it The Cage), the swing, being cuddled and Kate's entertainment! She went to her first Holiday Party (progressive dinner - yum!) this weekend and was an angel!

While Kate feels the need to express her love for Anna with a megaphone and is always touching her, Max adores her in a much quieter way by curling up next to her with his passie, helping with bath time or singing her "rock-a-bye baby". Any way you look at it, she is well loved!

Wow! Anna is growing so well. What a blessing and the fact that the kids adore her so much is even better. She is going to be loved lots, that is for sure. And already going to parties? Geez, she is out more than me! Can't wait until I meet her and can cuddle her and bring on a giggle!
Love and hugs, YVBA
