Random pictures of Annaliese

Is this the classic but sad situation for the 2nd child - very few pictures?! I'm afraid we haven't been very good about taking pictures of Annaliese. If we do, they're quick ones with our phones and the quality is never very good. Here are some from our phones....excuse the quality.

Annie is doing great and she's starting to develop somewhat of a routine. She is still crying shortly after being put down for the night but we're letting her cry it out and each night her crying lasts less and less - thank God because it was almost too much for me; I was crying right along with her! :( Once she's fully asleep, she'll stay sleeping for about 5-6 hours, sometimes more. She'll nurse and then fall right back asleep and wake up about 3-4 hours later. Her naps in the morning are the best and longest and by afternoon, they're more cat naps. She has started smiling a lot more and making some cooing noises - who doesn't love that?!

Olivia is doing fine but she's sick with a nasty cold, which turned into a double ear infection. So, we're trying to keep Liv from breathing on Annie but that isn't easy. Liv always wants to see her when she's awake and is constantly touching her. Don't get me wrong - I love that she loves Annie so much but when she's sick, she's doesn't understand that she needs to stay away from  her sister.

Annie and her friend, Ruby....Ruby is 2 months older

her 1st official, big smile

so not a flattering picture but as her mother, I have to share it!

she's happy in her bouncer (for about 10 minutes tops)

helping with breakfast (we pried her fat little fingers open and had her "hold" the whisk)

just living the dream

excited to leave the house and meet a friend of mine for lunch!
