Hanging out on Mama!

So I found a great way to get some exercise on Tuesday. Strap 14 pounds of wiggly weight to your back and then caulk base boards.

Neil had to help me up more than once! It was pretty funny though, me going up and down. What was really funny is when I would bend low to the ground Anna would look like a turtle on his back, her arms would fling around in the air and she would wiggle all around. Every time she would get real fussy I would have to walk over to Neil so he could fix the problem because I couldn't see her at all. After a while when she had been quiet for some time I asked Neil what she was doing, and he said she was completely out! I don't know how she fell asleep that way but she did! I was surprised her arms and legs didn't fall asleep! We took her off my back and laid her down in her play yard and she slept for hours. I feel so bad for her laying in her play yard all the time just looking at a very boring white roof! Someday soon her nursery will be cute! I SWEAR!!! ok really I hope!

What a Big Night!

We had a big night last night! A few weeks ago Anna reached out for her Bunny but she just swatted at him and then forgot why her hand was out there. Well, last night Anna reached out for Duck and grabbed hold of him! It was a big moment in our family. It was so cute because Neil was so excited for her. When we got home I filmed her for a few minutes and got this little clip.


Tomorrow my little Missy Moo will be 4 months old. I have loved every second of it. Well, no that is a lie. Every second has not been easy, but I do love her more and more every day. She is such an angel. How do you thank the Lord for a miracle you don't deserve?

Just Stuff

Well our house looks lot different then it did when we broke ground on Oct 30th. It is starting to really look and feel like a house inside. Except that it is freezing!!! Neil and some of his freinds worked all last week to put the trim on. It looks nice, but the thing I love the most are the space saver closets. It is going to be wonderful having shelves in my closets!!!! We have a garage door on the house now, so it looks even more like a house when you drive up. Neil is hoping we will get the color coat of the stucco on this week. We still have several time consuming things to do, like chocking miles and miles of trim, painting and laying the tile. That is something we have never done before so it should be interesting to see how well that comes out.

Here is a CUTE picture of Anna in one of her Christmas presents. She is really starting to talk and jibber a lot. It is so fun to listen to her. And she started to reach out for her toys, but she usually just swats at them and doesn't grab hold yet. She doesn't hand out her smiles very often, but when you get one it is so sweet! Gosh I just love this kid! But I mean really how can you not?
