4 Weeks!

And the weeks continue to fly by. This past week was filled with a ton of action. Possibly a bit too much action. We had family in town starting on Thursday, so in order to see them, Annie continued to see the insides of various bars and restaurants, and she even attended her first art show! We were applauding our ability to do all this "normal" stuff and have our well-behaved baby with us all the while. That is, until Saturday night. Let's just say that the running around finally caught up with Miss Annie and myself and we both had a bit of a breakdown that evening. And because I don't learn lessons well, we continued to run around all day Sunday. Needless to say, Sunday night was not pleasant.

I guess what we have learned in the last week is that just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should or that it is in the best interest of your child. Sure, Annie can stay up and have her 9:00 bottle in a restaurant, but it's not what is best for her right now. And Rick and I understand that we need to be doing what is best for her and nothing else. Hopefully she returns the favor one day when she's picking out our nursing home.

Here are some recent pics from the past week. Our girl is still a bit conservative with the smiles, but she'll give you a good one right as she drifts off to sleep. She also makes this "uh-huh, uh-huh" (similar to when people respond affirmatively, without actually saying yes) noise when she gets what she wants, which is now resulting in Liza and I making that same noise whenever we get what we want. And right now, Annie is resting and I am about to take a nap too. Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
