WE SURVIVED!!!!!!! Yes, we did! We survived an entire year, and whew... I'm glad I made it. Whoever said three kids isn't hard is lying. They are. Don't believe them. However, three is doable, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Some days I might wish I could shave my legs, dry my hair without holding someone, eat a meal and not have a child in my lap, or have a conversation without being interrupted, but it's all part of the gig called motherhood!
Annie is fun. That's the best way to describe her. "Fun". She's always in a good mood, unless of course Bitty is all in her business. She recently found out that she loves swinging.
Outside is fabulous, to little sister. She gets those legs to kicking when the door opens.
Annie also loves little people. Maggie and Annie are 12 days apart in age and I am pretty sure will grow up to be best buddies!
Some Annie facts:
She has 7 teeth: 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom.
She wears a Size 4 in Luvs, 3 in shoes, and 12-18 months in clothes.
She hates getting her nose wiped, getting dressed, being left alone, getting out of the bath tub, when the Bubba's mess with her stuff, and being assaulted at the doctor!
Annie loves many things which include but aren't limited to: ice, drinks, suckers, cake, outside, animals, driving her red car, riding in a buggy, bath time, kisses, being tickled, someone holding her, balloons, baby dolls, balls, the Bubba's, going places, and food.
I will fill in her stats after the doctor next week:
Weight: 21 lbs. 8 oz. - 50th percentile
Height: 29 in.- 33rd percentile
Head Circumference: 46.5 cm- 80th percentile
Annie wakes up at 5:20 and I feed her. She plays and has some breakfast.
At 8:00 I feed her and she naps until about 10:00. She feeds again for about 3 minutes and then we usually run errands and pick up Bitty. She has lunch and about 12:45 I feed her again and she naps until 2:25. Then we get Ford, play, have supper and a bath. I feed her and put her to bed at 7:00.
She isn't walking independently yet. I am thinking she will soon since we got tubes today (another post about that soon). Annie will cruise along the furniture quite nicely though. And the girl can crawl speedy fast.
She can squeal. Annie has a set of lungs on her like none other, and she certainly found her voice. She squeals to show excitement and happiness, and anger when Bitty takes her stuff!
Sometimes Daddy does things a little differently than momma.... like feeding her on the floor. BUT I sure didn't say anything. I was thankful for the help!
Siblings, especially brothers, are good for having tea parties!
I'm quite particular about people keeping my babies, all three of them. I have a select few that I trust. Anna Greer is one of my sitters and Annie thinks she's great! We love our Greer!
I am guessing she doesn't appreciate my cabinet locks!
I know two big brothers who will always protect this little girl!
Her last ride in the infant carrier: February 21, 2016!
Her first ride in the big girl seat!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the pink, bows, and accessories that come with a little girl.
Annie is a people person! She loves to be carried around. After becoming a mom I now know why God gave me such big hips... It's so my babies have somewhere to sit and be hauled around!
Annie grunts. It's great. I love it when she gets fired up and starts her noises. She loves pattie-cake and riding the horsey. Annie can say "bye bye", "momma", and "bubba". She loves to wave.
Her brothers love to "help" if you will....
She's bigger than The Bit!
Ohhh I'll just do it myself.
I'll admit that I cried a good bit at first when I found out that I was pregnant again. It wasn't "my plan" or "good timing". Who's to say??? What do I know??? There is no perfect time. What is perfect is God's plan, and He knew that we needed this little firecracker to complete our family only the way she could. I wish I could take back all those tears. I'd cry now if I didn't have my little Wan Wan. Thank you God for my precious baby girl who certainly is "cute as a button".
