Vaccines

Poor little Annie! She is an intense and sensitive baby (probably not Michael's fault...) so I guess I should've seen this coming. My poor little thing slept constantly after her vaccines and every time I so much as moved while holding her she just curled up that lower lip and wailed! She slept pretty much all day yesterday and then she slept all night too! Thank goodness for Tylenol...

New Family blog!

I have decided to put updates on a blog for family and such to have easy access to a day in the life of Annabelle Purse. ;o) I will post pictures and such here, but give me some time!

I am surprised at how little free-time there is with motherhood! Annie is a very active baby. She loves to play all morning, takes about an hour or two nap (during which I usually try to get a shower and tackle one household chore) and then she wants to be held a lot in the afternoon. Our little Fussbunny has colic and so is quite the mess from dinner until she goes to bed, but I wouldn't trade a minute of holding my little love-bug to vacuum or do laundry or pretty much do anything else. I am SO grateful however, that Annie sleeps about 7 hours a stretch at night! Michael and I are so lucky to have lots of great friends who have volunteered to give us date-nights and give me time to clean up the house while not feeling like I am wasting valuable time with her! It feels like she changes every second and I hate to miss something.

Yesterday, my little angel gave me a full-out laugh! I guess this means Cubbie is a keeper (just kidding, we were not planning on giving her away!) because she started laughing when I threw the dog's frisbee and Cubbie jumped in the air to catch it! The only repeat laugh I have gotten was when I threw it again.

I am seriously dreading going back to work. I love my job and if I have to work, it's a really amazing thing to see every day. I just wonder who I will do taking care of everyone else's baby when all I really want is my own... I know Michael will bring her to me on the weekends though! I am very blessed to have a wonderful babysitter as well. Our close family friend has offered to take her on days I'm working.

Annie sounds hungry, I'm off to feed her! MOOOOoooo
