Anaya Laughing and Smiling

Kyle was making Anaya laugh today and it was so cute!  The video wouldn't upload to the blog, so I put it on youtube.

Baby Dedication

Anaya was dedicated at church on Sunday.  She looked so adorable in the polka dot dress!  She even wore shoes for the very first time!

Since we are at church for both morning services, she wore a different dress to the 9:00 service and then I changed her dress during the 11:00 service.  I didn't want her to get anything on it!

Anaya was dedicated along with 3 other babies and a toddler.

She was asleep for most of the ceremony...

but she woke up towards the end to put in her "Amen!" and "Hallelujah!".

Uncle Eli...this picture is alot better than the first one they took together.  Anaya looked terrified in the first pic.

Grandma Renee

So stinkin' cute!!

Ocean Wonder Aquarium

Anaya's new tummy time mat has toys she can look it.  Although, in this picture she's more interested in sucking on her fists.

She finally takes a break from her hands and sees herself in the mirror.  

She spent about 5 minutes staring at herself.

This mat also lets you hang the toys above her so she can spend time on her back.  There's a punching ball attached and she loves it!

Anaya rolling over

God is so awesome!!  

Not only did he heal her of Dandy-Walker Syndrome (which can cause slow motor development) but He has given her advanced motor skills.  Anaya has been rolling over for since she was about 4 weeks old and I finally got it on tape.

Anaya's first road trip

 

We drove to Columbus, Ohio to visit my friend Lauren.  Paige, Regan and Cheanna went with us.  Anaya slept the whole way there and the whole way back.

Lauren wanted to come here to visit us but she is pregnant with twins and cannot travel too far from home.

Anaya with Lauren's sister, Chelsea.

While we were in Columbus, Anaya slept in the bassinet Lauren has prepared for her twins.  When not at home, Anaya sleeps with her sea horse.  It lights up and plays music.  It's almost as big as she is! 

I put this toy on her car seat for our road trip 2 weeks ago.  I think she noticed it for the first time last week...and now she can't take her eyes off it!

Big Break?

Hello, again!  Well, I'm about to be 8 weeks old on Friday.

I was thinking this might be a good time for my first big break...

...maybe I could make it on Last Comic Standing with my

impression of Rodney Dangerfield...

...or I could try American Idol.  I've already been in the studio...

... or maybe, America's Next Top Model.  I'm totally selling this Bumbo.

I don't know if Dad would let me go on that show...

Oh! Hey everybody!

Oh! Hey, everybody. Checking up on me?

What can I say? I've been keeping busy...

... holding my head up...

... holding my own bottle...

... sleeping...

...taking over Mom & Dad's bed...

... sleeping some more...

... and, well, you know.

I've spent some time with Grandpa Wayne,

Grandma Lisa,

and Grandma Renee.

Uncle Chris, Aunt Tish, and Cousin Caleb came to visit, too.

Caleb had fun.

I like when Dad plays guitar.

But, I don't like getting dried off after my bath.
