Miss Maddie in her new digs. (dad has such great taste!)
Anna will be 19 weeks old tomorrow. Time Flies! She is doing very well and has been healthy since recovering from the stomach bug. She's in transition to taking long naps and staying awake longer. This has been challenging in the evening when she's tired but doesn't want to give in to Mr. Sandman. It's resulted in, lets just say, some rather vocal protests.
Ryan was gone for two days this week. He enjoyed some frigid weather in Norfolk Virginia. Grandma JoLene came over to help out in his absense. He was supposed to be home early evening yesterday but a brain hiccup by Ryan caused him to be three hours later than originally planned. But it all worked out well and due to some frozen Heineken, Ryan got a free wine on the last flight!
He brought back some fun clothes for the girls. Maddie was so happy with her outfit she made a last minute wardrobe change before school today. Anna will not get to wear hers until next fall when she's closer to walking. But they're complementing outfits so I think the girls will wear those for fall pictures.
Anna is rolling over like crazy and lifting herself off the floor really well. She can do several push-ups. Her hemangioma hasn't grown at all. She chews and slobbers a lot. She's starting to spread out her feedings again. Her favorite thing to do is play with her sister, with looking in the mirror a close second. Maddie's favorite winter activity is watching movies, but she announced today that she doesn't want to watch as much tv because it's bad for her brain and henceforth she plans to play in her playroom. I haven't measured Maddie lately but I think she's close to 42 inches. She becomes more aware of her appearance daily and is now mildly obsessed with making sure all of her hairs are in place before she goes to school, when she comes home from school, before dinner and bedtime, well, you get the idea.
We're now planning a 4 day trip to Great Wolf Lodge in March. Anna will be the perfect age for a trip to the pool. She'll be starting solids around that time too so it will be a fun vacation; sweet potatoes and swimming!
