Last Sunday, July 10 we were back out at my parent's house for my Grandfather's 86th birthday. Andrea and I had been up a lot in the days leading up to it, and it was nice to have family around to help us feed Anniston, and give her some more attention. She always seems to behave better around everyone but us.
She spent a lot of the day with her Aunt Sarah, I think she enjoyed it.
We also had a chance to redo the Rhoads family pictures, and they turned out much better this time.
The 4 generations of the Rhoads family.
I can't remember what day it was, but we started to take pictures of Anniston on the blankets that various people made for her. We did not get her picture done with all of them yet, she decided she was done with the picture taking, so we will have to finish the rest of them next time we do some pictures. Thank you to all of those that made blankets for us, we really like them, and Anniston does too!
The week we just finished was a long one. It had its ups and downs. Anniston had another doctor's appointment this week, and she continues to grow. She is know 22 inches long, and 10 pounds 8.5 ounces. Anniston has had some long nights, with mommy by her side. She has slept good, and she has not slept. We are trying to get her onto a more routine schedule, with some success.
We also had another visitor this past Friday. My friend Gordon visited from Chattanooga, and got to spend some time with her. I think she liked him a lot. He brought with him a Bilibo, a Swiss seat for babies, we have not figured out how to use it yet, but Gordon says that she will love it. His kids still like top play in them, and they are 11 and 8, they have them for bigger kids too.
Abbey has also been getting more curious about Anniston. She likes to be in the same room with her, and tends to follow us when we leave the room with Anniston. I think she is going to be protective of the new family member, even if some of the attention has been taken away from her.
Right now, I need to take a few pictures of Anniston playing on a new toy, she has moved herself around a lot under this new toy...so I am sure I will be back in a few to post those pictures too.
Aunt Sarah definitely enjoyed it ;)
ReplyDeleteThe family pictures looks much better, I'm glad we redid it.
The pictures with all the blankets are cute, and I'm sure they will be appreciated by the givers.
I'm glad Abbey got used to her without any problems and is being a good "bis sister".
Anniston looks like she is sitting in a soft, fluffy pink, white and green cloud, and doesn't want to leave. The blanket that Diane Byrd made is beautiful.
