Annika would like to give a sista' a "shout out" for the swim wear.

Thanks Aliana! She's a superstar!

Brave new world...

We entered the brave new world of cloth diapers this week. Check out this cute hiney!


I'm also posting a picture of Annika in a super cute outfit we got from Ben's aunt and uncle in Arizona before she outgrows it...won't be long!

Annika Meets Grandma Nosbish

Annika has 3 Grandma's and 3 Great-Grandma's and has met all but one so far. We spent the week at Grandma Godard's last week while Ben was traveling. Annika got to meet her Great Aunt Carolyn and her Great Grandma Nosbish while we were there.


She also spent a lot of time at "Grandma Godard's Spa" getting pampered after her morning blow outs.

First blow out...

...need I say more?

Bears Fans Commiserate

Ben and Annika commiserated today during the Packers vs. Seahawks playoff game. She doesn't know it yet, but Annika is a Bears fan! She's going to have a rough time growing up in Packer country. Good thing she'll be able to beat the crap out of anyone who teases her!

Annika is now 22.5 inches and a whopping 11.5 pounds! She likes baths, bouncing on the red bouncy ball, rocking in Grandma Sullivan's old rocking chair, grunting lyrics to Dad's guitar, her pacifier, being held, and of course, eating. Grandma Godard was here last week so we got to eat well and sleep well too (thank you Mom!).

We spend much of our day going back and forth between the red bouncy ball, the rocking chair, walking around, the sling, and repeating it all over again. My Grandma Sullivan said much of life with babies is just passing the time...she is certainly right.
