Anna's first week home has been relatively uneventful. Jimmy and I have gotten adequate sleep, Anna finally started eating like a champ, and even Layla has been adjusting to the new, smelly little person who has invaded our home. I've posted pictures to chronicle some of Anna's "favorite things":
She loves being tightly swaddled, with just enough room to let her hand poke out. Any time I hold her, she has one hand or the other up against her face!
She loves being held my her mommy ...
and sporting matching hairdos with her daddy!
She also loves sleeping in her bouncy seat.
I particularly like the "lounge" pose captured in this one:
In other news, Anna unveiled her belly button the other day ... here's a close-up:
Anna was really alert this morning, looking around with both eyes wide open. We tried about twenty times to get a decent shot, but she ended up looking like a drunk pirate in every one. Here are some of the better ones:
Cross-eyed, but still fairly cute.
Here Anna is pictured with "Terrence," her "Wubba Nub." This pacifier is the most ingenious invention and my favorite parenting tool to date. The stuffed animal weighs the pacifier down just enough so Anna can keep it in her mouth. Anna loves to hold on to "Terrence" during diaper changes and fussy moments. It's pretty darn cute. As for the name "Terrence," I'll suffice to say that husbands can come up with creative (and weird) baby calming techniques at four in the morning. The name's sticking ;-)
One last shot ... a wink and goodbye!
