Weekend Update

So, it has been a long week. Full of ups and downs. Full of diapers, bottles and sleep deprivation for mom. Anniston has a good night where she will sleep for 3-5 hours...then the next night she is up all night. Those are long nights, Friday night was one of those nights. We have also started to get Anniston to fall asleep on her own, in her crib, and not in our arms. We have had limited success, but we know this is important for her, and us. Anyway, the week was a good one. Now on to the picture part of the update, I know that is what most of you want to see anyway.

Early in the week, in my ongoing pursuit of photographic excellence, I found a studio light kit for the house. It is just one light for now, but I can see it turning into more. It arrived on Thursday, so, of course, I had to try it out Thursday evening. It was fun, and helpful. Our living room is dimly lit, and not really all that good for pictures. I got to take a few pictures of Anniston interacting with mom, I took a bunch of pictures, she seems to grow so fast, and change from day to day and it was nice to be able to see her eyes for a change.

I think she likes to have her picture taken sometimes, she looks right at me...good thing, she will be in front of my camera a lot as she grows up, I am going to need a bigger hard drive!



Anniston likes her belly time, she seems to do really well with it.


After all of those, we gave her another bath, I think she likes them. But then we put something nice on her, and took a few more pictures! I needed a couple more for the Birth Announcement. This is not one of them...that will have to be a surprise, and I don't want to spoil it.



Last one...it is not perfect, but it is a starting point, and I know what I need to do better next time.


Last night, Andrea and I also got to go on a date...with each other of course. Grandma Moore was nice enough to come babysit and we got to go out to eat and see a movie. Transformers 3, we enjoyed it, not a great movie, but it was fun, and it was a nice night out.

Ok, I think we are updated, Anniston is finally napping in the living room, and I need to get to work.
