Sweet Peach

She is so beautiful!! :)

oh so yummy Ali - she is totally gorgeous - make me one please!!!!!!!!!

ali-
so TOTALLY know what you mean about the nicknames! we called our daughter "bean" which sometimes turned into 'jumping bean', 'string bean', 'lima bean', even 'kidney bean' (now THERE'S one we could have done without!).
your daughter is beautiful, and i am happy for your family!

She is such an absolute sweetheart. :)
I'm having a call for people who might be interested in doing a weekly painting challenge. thought you might be interested. If so, pop on by and lemme know. :) hugs!

Love the pictures!! Please keep posting--I only have 1 kid (an almost 7-year old boy), so it is so fun to see your beautiful new baby girl.

I'll be watching and waiting. I still need to create an album for my sweet boy.

I love nicknames . . .our last name is Keane and I wanted to name our daughter "Peachy" (just kiddin - :) your note today brought back a happy memory!
Thank you for sharing with us . . .

Ah, yes! I have big plans for an "AKA" LO documenting all the nicknames our sweet girl had in the early months. Only "Peanut" has stuck, and I am still amazed she says her name is Claire, given how much we have used her nickname in her 21 months.
Anna is adorable! She looks like you. So much fun!

Oh my gosh, is she adorable! I can't wait until my daughter has our first grandchild in July and I can hold a baby like yours. Just can't wait!
We love nicknames, too, and several of them have stuck with our kids, even though 2 are in college and one is now married. I'm sure we will have plenty of nicknames for my daughter's baby, too!
Thanks for always sharing your life with us. I look forward to reading about you, Simon, Chris and Anna every day.

I just eat up your pics of sweet Anna. They are truly a bright spot in my day, and always make me smile (no matter how many times I look at them). Thank you

she's just perfect. i love the shape of her little head. you should put something next to her for scale. i want to see how tiny she is!! lovely.

I just can't stop looking @ her, she is soooooo
sweet. Thank you for sharing :)

I love this picture so much! Enjoy that sweet peach as much as you can. :)

Ali - I have to tell you that a couple of my friends and I check your blog daily, but since you have been posting pictures of Anna I find myself checking several times a day! She really is precious. Enjoy this time. I remember with my first child I spent hours just holding him and staring at him, and when the second child came I didn't have the time to do that, and it made me a little sad! So.. take the time to stare!!

Gorgeous photo Ali - your little girl is absolutely gorgeous .... and love all the nic names - can't wait to see what you have in mind for your albums for her.

She is so cute!! I just love babies...my baby will be 10 this month... :(

I called my firstborn daughter Peaches! How funny. It sort of came from nowhere, too. I love nicknames that are like that. My girls both had songs/tunes of their own, too. :) Anna's a doll!

Ali, I just had to share. when I was little, maybe 2 or 3, my grandfather gave me the nickname of "choo choo". He said I walked like a little train engine, from side to side and with a lot of power! My father started calling me this and over the years it was shortened to "Chooch". I am going to be 43 this month and don'tcha know my father, to this day, still calls me "chooch"! The right one will just fit. Enjoy your new sweetness.

Some of our best friends just had their own baby girl this weekend. It's their first. And they are really proud of the name they chose and kept a secret until she was born from EVERYONE! (Since she shares the same first name as me, I'm really fond of it as well)
New Dad took offense when he his own dad said he was gonna have to think of nicknames for her- he told his dad that she had a name and that was it. . . she didn't need a nickname. I mentioned this very post when he relayed the story to me. I explained that one of my own nicknames was little bit- that perhaps his dad was just talking about the little names we call wee little ones.

She is too preciuos!!
