Merry Christmas, Baby!

Our little Annie hit the six week mark this week.  She has been filling out and chunking up due to her love for eating.  Her feeds are starting to space out a bit more and she is sleeping well at night, passing out for about a five plus hour session and letting me get some uninterrupted rest.  Just this week she has started to coo a tiny bit and is being much more vocal.  She still is doing the majority of her vocalizing through grunts but every once in a while her cute little voice comes out.  I love it.  She has outgrown her newborn clothes, wearing some of them only once and some things never...too many clothes!  I put her in some pants today just because she never wears them and will outgrow them before she gets the chance.  It's just so nice to be in PJs all day, why wear real clothes if you don't have to? Here are some week by week shots of the little munchkin. 

The family (minus the Bowermans) were out for Christmas.  Little Hannah was making her grand entrance home from the Peace Corps and it was so great to see her and for her to meet Annie.  It was so nice having everyone out to celebrate the holiday with and meet the newest addition to the family.

We also had our very old and gigantic Big Leaf Maple taken down over the holiday.  Doug and our friend Tommy are out splitting some of the remaining rounds today.  Last night was super windy but I could sleep without feeling so anxious about it falling and smashing our house.  Or the neighbor's house.  Or passing cars/pedestrians.  The tree was so huge that the house shook when they brought down some of the larger segments.  I can only imagine the vibrations it would make and the damage it would do if an entire limb - or the entire tree - fell on its own.

Happy new year!
