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.

Ali, what a precious gem you have, Anna is gorgeous and looks the image of you. What a wonderful family you all make. I love watching her and simon grow. Enjoy them both, I have two boys and they have grown to 12 and 10 in the blink of an eye!!

She looks just like you:) I had a terrible sleeper (he is fixing to turn 15) and he is an only child. Does that tell you anything? Enjoy that she is a good night sleeper. It makes ALL the difference.

Oh my gosh. She looks like a little Ali in the top picture. When you see that picture and many of the pictures from your childhood, you can't deny she's your little angel.
She's beautiful.

Ali, this is so sweet! She is such a lovely girl. My guy loves the changing table too - it's our favorite place to talk, and sing, and laugh. I have been making an effort to post some of his pictures on my blog, if you want to see. http://onlysleepn.wordpress.com/

She is so cute! I can totally relate to what you are saying - my first - a girl was born just before Christmas. She is an awesome sleeper as well!
