Seven weeks.
Tags:
• Your smiles are just awesome. This photo above is so very you. Huge, big smiles that sometimes take my breath away.
• Your favorite location right now seems to be the changing table. You just discovered the mobile hanging above it this week and have been captivated by the orange, red, and white circles. Going to the changing table can change you from grumpy and crying to seriously happy in an instant (it seems to be a literal "change" table).
• You sleep best all wrapped up. The pacifier is your friend.
• You are tolerating Simon's "snuggles" (as seen above) and definitely notice when he is around and recognize his voice. He loves you so much. If I meet him at the door when he gets home from school without you in my arms the first thing he says is "where is my sister?"
• You are a mini-napper during the day, but sleep great during the night (can't tell you how much of a blessing this really is - after having a challenging sleeper in the past I almost don't know what to do with a good sleeper).
• You have started having great little "conversations" with me where you are working on different sounds and verbalizations. These connected moments, when you are finding your own voice, are definitely some of my favorite times throughout the day.
We love you Anna and are so glad you are a part of our family.

Awwwww so nice when the personality starts emerging. You really are so blessed to have a good sleeper. Being able to have a full night's sleep makes life so much easier.

Ali,
as a grandmother of a little guy with autism, I prayed daily that God would show us very early in his baby sister's life that she did/didn't have autism . . .and we have been so excited with each sign that she didn't have autism . .and I have been praying that for your family as well - - and I loved reading that she is smiling and responding and trying to communicate! she is a beautiful baby and Simon is a great big brother!
