Anna at one month.
Anna turned one month old on Wednesday! She is thriving and just about to hit the nine pound mark. We are still enjoying our twice daily walks, which usually include a stranger stopping to compliment Anna on her good looks :) Anna and I have been attending a "Mommy and Me" play/new mother's support group once a week which has been really nice - gets us out of the house and interacting with other babies.
We are working on "tummy time" during the day and Anna has been a very good sport about it (This will, among other things, keep her from getting a flat head from all that back-sleeping! Doctor's orders!) She is now able to lift her head up while on her stomach and turn it the other direction. Mommy and Daddy cheer like crazy people when Anna does this. Another development - Anna is beginning to enjoy her baths! Now that her umbilical cord has fallen off, baths can occur in her cute little tub. She likes the warm water, and we have to be super careful because she tries to scrunch down her neck to lower her mouth so she can drink it.
We are looking forward to a visit from Grandmom Kreis this weekend! Click for some more pictures!

3 weeks old - Hanging out with Mom and Dad
Anna turns three weeks old today, and it is already amazing to see how much she has grown. She is developing chubby cheeks and a nice double chin. She is much more alert and has grown much stronger (which we definitely notice when she tries to resist having her diaper changed!) We are starting to be able to discern different cries she uses for different things.
Sadly, Brian had to go back to work this week so Mommy and Anna had lots of time together this week. We took a walk every morning in her stylish stroller, and when Daddy came home we took a second walk using the Baby Bjorn. We set up her swing seat this week and think it is the best invention EVER! She loves it, and by that I mean she passes out into a deep sleep so Mommy can get a few things done around the house!
We are having a wonderful time getting to know our daughter! Here are some more pictures - click below.

2 weeks old - Perone visit
Anna got to meet Grandpa Pat, Grandma Barb, and Aunt Laura on Labor Day weekend. Highlights of the weekend included her first dinner and breakfast out, her first trip to church, her first LSU game, and her first winetasting! We went on a picnic at Bogle Vineyards, not too far from our house. We also got a visit from Aunt Sandy and cousin Bethany. Take a look at the pictures by clicking below.
