Anna's Baptism and Father's Day

I have been in the middle of school lately so I have not had time to blog.  I have one more paper due next Thursday and then I am done for about 5 days and I start my second session of summer school.  It's been tough going to school this summer and having Anna but I knew I could do it.  I have one more class and then all I have left is my student teaching and I will be done with my masters!!!  I don't think I will be going back to school any more after this.....then again that's what I said last time. 

Anna was baptized on Sunday.  It was such a nice service and thank you to all our sweet friends and family who were able to attend.  It was our preacher George's last Sunday.  George married us so we wanted him to baptize Anna.  Anna was very good through out the service and only cried once when her paci came out of her mouth.  She wore my gown which I thought was really sweet.

So Sunday is Father's Day and its Jeffrey's first Father's Day!!!  Last Thursday my friend Kelly went with me to take Anna to The Painted Pig in Little Rock and make some surprises for Father's Day.  Kelly made Anna the cutest cross for her baptism but since we waited till last Thursday all of our surprises will miss Father's Day :(.  So I have had to get several other things for Jeffrey and my Dad to make up for their Father's day gifts not being here.  Also my mom's birthday is Saturday and we made her a surprise but it also will not be here.  

I will be going back to work soon which I am not happy about.  I am going to be so sad to leave Anna.  On the other hand it will be nice to be around all my co-workers again and get back into the swing of things.  So since I am going back to work I have to start giving Anna a bottle.  Everyone says how picky baby's can be and that it can take multiple bottles to figure out which one they like.....well little Miss Anna must not be picky because she liked the first bottle we gave her.  I gave her a newer bottle called a Tommee Tippee.  She loved it!!!  I almost couldn't get her to nurse after!  I will probably start giving her one bottle everyday and still breastfeed her the rest of the day.

We will be buying more of these soon.   Here is a picture of Anna taking her first bottle. 

Also we went for a weight check yesterday and Anna is up to 7lb 3.6oz!!!  Whoo hoo!!!  Hopefully she will catch up to where she should be but I think she is just perfect.  I love being a mom to this sweet little girl!!

Have a great evening!

Last Week

I was meaning to blog last week but every time I thought about it I got busy! Monday my mom was going to go with me and take Anna to Wal-Mart to get groceries. Well I started summer school on Monday and realized I needed a book for one of my classes that day so we loaded up in the car and headed to the book store. Once we got home we were so tired we stayed home the rest of the day and I worked on some school work. On Tuesday we went to Wal-Mart and it was a learning experience for me. Anna threw up and had a very very messy diaper. So I ended up going to the car to change her while my mom checked out my groceries. After the trip to Wal-Mart we were very tired. Some of our friends came to cook dinner for us Tuesday night. Aaron, Ashli, and Brogan came over and visited. Dinner was so yummy and the company was awesome. Brogan is almost 6 months. Anna and Brogan will be great friends!!!

Also on Tuesday Anna was 3 weeks old. Time is flying by! I am trying to enjoy every little moment with my sweet little angle. We are just so in love with her.

My best friend Kama and husband Kyle came over Wednesday night and grilled out chicken wings. Also my little sister Stephanie spent the night with us. We had a great time but I didn't get to snap any pictures. Anna was not in a great mood that night. The chicken wings were great, Stephanie ate them like she had never eaten chicken wings before. I am sure my mom will have to start grillign her chicken wings. Thursday we were really tired in the morning, I guess Jeffrey took this picture of us before he left haha.
Later Thursday we went to Little Rock for lunch and then to Belk to return some stuff. It was nice to get out of the house but we are so tired when we get out of the house too much. Jeffrey came home early from work on Friday which was nice to have him home. My aunt and cousin came to visit Anna on Friday and so did Jeffrey's mom, Nana. (Of course my mom, Tata has to see Anna every day! Which I think is great they will have such a great relationship.) Riverfest was this weekend and this is the first time we haven't been able to go. Also Chuck, Jacob, and Colin came over Friday night as well as Will and Jessica. Anna had a busy busy day on Friday. Saturday morning we got up and just hung around the house. We decided to take a pictures of Anna next to her daddy's shoe.

Sunday night we went to eat at On the Border! Just the three of us. It was so yummy and nice to be out of the house. We were going to watch the fireworks but Anna was asleep so we just came home and put her to bed. Here she is before we went out to eat. None of her clothes fit her so we only have a few things she can wear. I can't wait till she can fit in all of the clothes she has!

She has really long arms!!!

Yesterday we stayed home all morning. Jeffrey made pancakes which was so nice of him and they were delicious! Later in the afternoon we went by Kelly's house to have a burger and let Kelly love on Anna since she hasn't seen her in a few days. Colin and Jacob are just so cute and love baby Anna so much.
Last night Tata and Aunt Kristen came over and we put on tutus. I will post pictures of them later. We also went on a walk as a family which Anna loved. Today Anna is 4 weeks old!! I will hopefully have pictutres later!!!! Have a great day!
