Gulf Shores

Anna Todd had her first trip to Gulf Shores. She had a lot of fun...mainly floating down the lazy river with Momma and Papa and sleeping in her carseat in the shade. Her daddy hated when we took her on the balcony....we were on the highest floor!

AT at 2 months

Anna Todd has turned two months old since my lapse in blogging. She weighed 12.05 and was 23.5 inches long...90th percentile in both categories. She also got a round of immunizations at her check up. She did really well with the shots but 4 hours later was a different story. I guess she just didn't feel good. She started sobbing and I could not make it better....so...she and I just rocked and cried together. An hour later we both felt better. It was seriously the first time in her short life she has ever cried for no reason...Did I tell you that I am truly blessed with a really good baby!

She has also grown very fond of her bumbo chair...another awake time activity. Her cousins Ella and Jack sent her a book that spells out her name and she really likes when I read to her! At 11 weeks old AT rolled over but hasn't rolled over since. She is getting really strong during tummy time, and Todd thinks she should be walking by 4 months. LOL

Sam Allen Hannah

My sweet friend, Rachel, had a precious baby boy a few weeks ago. Sam Allen was welcomed into the world by a host of family including his older brother and sister, Charlie and Caroline. Congratulations Rachel and Clay! You have a beautiful baby! It has taken me too long to post these pics as I am WAY behind on my picture downloading.

Love his Kissy face!

Memorial Day

Anna Todd went "swimming" for the first time on Memorial Day. The Caldwell's invited us to their family party in Orange Beach, and they have a beautiful pool that sits right on the water. Anna Todd had so much fun with Maddox, Ella and their cousin Kate. She really liked the water and the only time she got mad was when I put her sunglasses on....You can see by the picure that the sun had gone behind a cloud so she knew she didn't need them!

Grandma and Grandpa Visit Anna Todd

I am a little behind on posting but I wanted to post pictures from a few weeks ago when Grandma and Grandpa Cheney met Anna Todd. It was such a fun and busy week. AT and Daddy showed our Cape Cod grandparents all the sites of Baldwin County which included downtown Fairhope, The Grand, and the Gulf. We also had a Cinco De Mayo party where the Good's and the Beverly's came over to celebrate. Caroline was feeling better so she got to spend time with AT...which we are so glad she is over her sickness. On Friday night we went out to dinner with Caldwell's. Anna Todd always enjoys spending time with Ella and Maddox. We ate at the Bass Pro Shop then went out for ice cream. Lastly, KK, Papa and Katlan came over for Mother's Day and Anna Todd's baby dedication. What a great last week at home with my little one! We were so glad to spend time with famliy and friends before I had to go back to work.

Baby Dedication

Anna Todd's baby dedication was on Mother's Day! It was a wonderful first Mother's Day for me. Todd and I were very happy to have both sets of grandparents there. After the service we treated our moms to lunch at The Grand....such a special day!

Update on Anna Todd

AT is now 8 weeks old. She loves the morning and smiles all the time. Her most alert time is 4 pm til she goes to bed at 9. Bathtime is becoming a favorite time but she has to get used to the water...that usually just takes a few seconds. But AT's favorite time is baby massage...her eyes just light up when you rub her hands and feet. She is holding her head up so well during tummy time. And she really seems to listen when you talk to her and wants to talk back to you....like mother like daughter! She has gotten so BIG that Todd and I are taking bets on her weight when she goes to her 2 month check up next week.
