We had a great Easter holiday - Anna's first Easter! We spent the weekend in South Bend and with our families. Anna was happy all Easter long ... so smiley and sweet. We went to church with my mom on Easter Sunday and Anna did great! Only a few peeps, which make me smile more than anything. She fell asleep at the end of mass. Brent and I walked back to my mom's house and Anna slept in Brent's arms the whole way. It was a beautiful, sunny Easter day for our beautiful, sunny girl!
Big news ... Anna has two little teeth now! She started teething the week before Easter. The two front teeth on the bottom poked their way through! They are mighty cute little white pearly teeth! Teething wasn't the most fun, but she did pretty well. Few clingy days and hard nights. But nothing little Tylenol and a teething ring couldn't soothe.
Brent was on Spring Break last week. It was great to have him at home! We just hung around the house for the most part. The first part of the week was rainy ... good days to stay inside. The last half of the week was lovely outside ... warm and sunny. We took Anna on some fun outings - first walk down to the library, first walk to the lake, first walk to our new favorite cookie shop. Having Brent home all week was wonderful and now we can't wait for his summer break!
Anna has started babbling ... "da-da-da", "ma-ma-ma", "ba-ba-ba". It's so cute! She doesn't know who da-da or ma-ma are yet, but the sounds are so adorable, anyway.
We're making progress with her sleep schedule at night. Usually to bed between 8pm-9pm. The past three nights she has slept for 8 hours in a row! Well, she makes a few peeps here and there, but has been able to put herself back to sleep, which is awesome.
Anna is still our good little eater, she loves to eat! I am so proud of her and how well she does. She was 17 pounds 5 ounces last week! It's all in the thighs and cheeks. She gave the thumbs up to the new additions of carrots, pears, and bananas.
Playtime is always fun with Anna. She loves her toys and she's a joy to watch. She's just discovering all the time. Everything is in the mouth and she loves to bang her hands and toys on the table.
But who needs toys when you have junk mail?? Getting the mail everyday, oh boy, now that's fun. Anna loves to crinkle junk mail. She thinks it's the greatest.
Oh boy!!
Well, that's all for now. Will be better about blogging, promise!
Love, Laura

Laura,
Anna is the cutest little angel. I know I say that every time but I just can't help it. Those pictures are so precious. They really reflect her darling personality. She is going to have the world wrapped around her little finger. I'm glad you guys got to go out and walk. The best part of Michigan weather is about to begin.
Love - Mizpah,

I love the pictures, especially the one with the junk mail in her mouth. She is doing so well, eating, sleeping and everything else good little babies do. It sounds like it will be a great Michigan weekend coming up. You should be able to take Anna for some really great walks when you are not working.
Love,

It's Friday afternoon and I went through the blog again while waiting to leave the Chicago-land for the weekend. I enjoyed the photos of Anna even more that I did the first time through the blog - she is simply adorable! I'm looking forward to our next visit and the opportunity to take Anna for a walk outdoors.
Love,

Laura, Meeting Anna last week was such an enjoyable experience and I can say honestly that I have not stopped thinking about her....I had so much fun with her. She is such a happy bundle of joy and a delight to be around. Let's try to make these get-togethers a little more frequent because I don't know how long I will be able to stand without seeing her. Thank you for the phone call today by the way although it was nothing to be concerned about. We all have distractions while talking on the phone, believe you me, I can definitely relate!! Love and miss tou terribly already!! Give Anna smooches and a high-five to Brent!! LOL, had to think of something!! Love you!! muah!
